v6 MacOS functionality and wxwidgets #252

Closed a7hybnj2 closed 2 years ago

a7hybnj2 commented 2 years ago

I just updated kicad and kikit. I am running KiCad Version: (6.0.0-rc2-14-ga17a58203b), release build and kikit, version 0.99-pre1.0+76.g2d499e0 although I tired this with 0.7 also. On macOS 12.0.1

The error I get is

An error occurred: dlopen(/Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/_pcbnew.so, 0x0002): Library not loaded: @rpath/libwx_osx_cocoau-3.1.5.dylib
  Referenced from: /Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/_pcbnew.so

No output files produced

This was referenced in #21 but this is indeed a different issue.

I was able to get past the initial error that was looking for libwx_osx_cocoau_gl-3.1.5.dylib by installing wxwidgets using brew install wxwidgets but now that I think about it that shouldn't have been necessary. It shouldn't be looking for the local libs...right? Shouldn't all of that be packaged into the kicad environment?

I know yaqwsx doesn't have a mac at their disposal so I am just putting my notes here in case they or anyone else gets a similar error or figures how to progress past this point.

yaqwsx commented 2 years ago

I am not a mac user but I was wondering if the binary `pcbnew-nightly isn't just a wrapper script that properly set all library paths - just like in #246. The paths, of course, could be different.

a7hybnj2 commented 2 years ago

So I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/ which is where

libwx_osx_cocoau_gl-3.1.5.0.0.dylib
libwx_osx_cocoau_gl-3.1.5.dylib
libwx_osx_cocoau-3.1.5.0.0.dylib
libwx_osx_cocoau-3.1.5.dylib

all live. But, I still got the same error as above. Is there another path I should be setting?

yaqwsx commented 2 years ago

Quick googling told me that mac uses DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Try that. But I am shooting blindly as I have no experience with mac...

a7hybnj2 commented 2 years ago

Okay I set my DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to /Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks because that is where the libwx_osx_cocoau files live. That appears to have resolved that problem but now it cannot locate "Python" itself.

An error occurred: dlopen(/Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/_pcbnew.so, 0x0002): Library not loaded: @rpath/Versions/3.8/Python

yaqwsx commented 2 years ago

Could you:

check content DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH before setting a value?
check what does the pcbnew-nighlty binary does. I guess it will be a shell script

yaqwsx commented 2 years ago

BTW: I am sorry; I probably closed this issue yesterday by mistake when posting an answer.

cdwilson commented 2 years ago

@yaqwsx I think the issue here is that the Python bundled with KiCad is ultimately calling ctypes.util.find_library() which probably can't find any *.dylib installed by homebrew. Homebrew patches Python to fix this (see https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/15e7f288e4b97c75b32c75748df0daa3b60d1c77/Formula/python%403.9.rb#L185), but I'm guessing the KiCad devs aren't patching the Python included with KiCad in the same way.

@a7hybnj2 Can you try adding something like the following to your ~/Library/Preferences/kicad/6.0/PyShell_pcbnew_startup.py:

import sys
if sys.platform == "darwin":
    import os
    os.environ["DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH"] = "/opt/homebrew/lib/" <-- put your path to homebrew here

This should allow the KiCad python to find any dylibs installed by homebrew.

It shouldn't be looking for the local libs...right? Shouldn't all of that be packaged into the kicad environment?

Sorry, I misread this earlier, and now that I think about this, I think @a7hybnj2 is right, it seems like these should be included with KiCad in /Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks, not something installed by homebrew.

Okay I set my DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to /Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks because that is where the libwx_osx_cocoau files live. That appears to have resolved that problem but now it cannot locate "Python" itself.

Slight edit to what I proposed earlier, this should allow KiCad Python to find libwx_osx_cocoau_gl-3.1.5.dylib:

# ~/Library/Preferences/kicad/6.0/PyShell_pcbnew_startup.py
import sys
if sys.platform == "darwin":
    import os
    os.environ["DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH"] = "/Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks"

a7hybnj2 commented 2 years ago

I tested with your above fix and was still getting the same errors so just in console I

export PYTHONPATH=/Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ kikit
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks
export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=/Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8

all of the previous errors went away and were replaced by: Segmentation fault: 11

What is @rpath? after setting just PYTHONPATH and the FALLBACK it is trying to work but @rpath/Versions/3.8/Python doesn't expand correctly. An error occurred: dlopen(/Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/_pcbnew.so, 0x0002): Library not loaded: @rpath/Versions/3.8/Python if @rpath=Python.framework then it would be looking for python in the right spot...

cdwilson commented 2 years ago

I'm brand new to KiKit, and I didn't realize earlier that it wasn't just using the Python bundled with KiCad, so the PyShell_pcbnew_startup.py change I mentioned above won't make any difference running kikit externally. I tried going through the install instructions last night, but I wasn't able to get it working on my system either.

@a7hybnj2 are you seeing any difference when setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH or DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH on the command line? Passing those on the command line doesn't seem to be working for me (it appears that SIP might be sanitizing DYLD_* environment variables, see https://briandfoy.github.io/macos-s-system-integrity-protection-sanitizes-your-environment/):

$ PYTHONPATH=/Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ \

What is @rpath?

It appears to be a macro for the dynamic loader that lets you specify dependency paths that are resolved at runtime. (see https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/DynamicLibraries/100-Articles/RunpathDependentLibraries.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008306-SW1)

When the dynamic loader (dyld) loads the executable, it looks for run-path dependent libraries in the run-path search paths in the order in which they were specified at link time

You can inspect these rpaths using otool:

$ $ otool -L /Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/_pcbnew.so

At this point, I'm out of ideas... 🤷

a7hybnj2 commented 2 years ago

Now that KiCad 6 is officially out I suspect it is only a matter of time before someone figures it out. I too have done all I know how to do.

yaqwsx commented 2 years ago

I am still unsure whether it is safe to release v1, if I cannot confirm it works on Mac. Or if it is better to release v1, find the Mac users and then release v1.0.1 that is patched for Mac.

cdwilson commented 2 years ago

Given that Mac users can run KiKit in Docker, I'd say just release v1 and make a note that macOS isn't supported yet (who knows how long until somebody figures out how to get this working on Mac...)

tywtyw2002 commented 2 years ago

It seems like the MacOS Version KiCAD compile a standalone python version. The python library did not share w/ system or brew version python.

The easy way is to use kicad python to install kikit. And use that kikit to do panelize.

Install /Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/pip3 install kikit

Panelize /Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/kikit panelize --layout 'grid; rows: 2; cols: 1;' --tabs full --cuts vcuts ./example.kicad_pcb panel.kicad_pcb

a7hybnj2 commented 2 years ago

Well, I just tried the above and it seems promising although I still ran into some errors. When I installed kikit I get a ERROR: wxpython 4.1.1 requires pillow, which is not installed. so I just did a /Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/pip3 install pillow but then when I ran the panelize command I got

An error occurred: 

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!

Importing the numpy C-extensions failed. This error can happen for

We have compiled some common reasons and troubleshooting tips at:

Please note and check the following:

  * The Python version is: Python3.8 from "/Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/python3.8"
  * The NumPy version is: "1.21.5"

and make sure that they are the versions you expect.

seems like this might be a pythonpath dyld thing again. I will try to locate those packages and point to them correctly and update here.

EDIT: Looks like it is looking in the correct places but something with a signature or ¯\(ツ)/¯. I am again past my knowledge of the issue.

EDIT 2: I had just installed STABLE this morning upgrading/replacing the nightly build. I am under the impression removing kicad will also remove its version of python and associated packages so nothing local should be messing it up.

tywtyw2002 commented 2 years ago

You got this error ERROR: wxpython 4.1.1 requires pillow, which is not installed. That fine. Skip it.

Make sure you use new SHELL without any PATHONPATH environments.

Once you panelize, numpy is imported. So it won't be just this case, but every case. Actually, help imports only click and nothing else (not even the pcbnew module - as it takes quite a long time to load).

I managed to get the SIP (System Integrity Protection) Mac issue solved, but I had to sign again the Python.app embedded with Kicad.

If you don't have a Apple Developer code signing certificate you can simply create a Self Signed using Keychain like this...

Then run

codesign -fs "my-certificate" /Applications/Kicad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/Resources/Python.app

I was then able to run using the embedded python the example panelization command...

/Applications/Kicad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/kikit panelize --layout 'grid; rows: 2; cols: 1;' --tabs full --cuts vcuts <PATH_TO_PCB>/conn.kicad_pcb <OUTPUT_PATH>/panel.kicad_pcb

Technically I believe this should be solved by the Kicad Mac builder, they should probably add the "com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation=TRUE" entitlement the the Python.app. The problem is that the Kicad.app is code signed but the minute we run the embedded pip3, files are added that were not part of the original bundle so they cannot be loaded. The issue is solved by resigning the Python.app but ideally we'd like that validation to be disabled.

Summarizing, install KiKit, code sign and then run kikit.

/Applications/Kicad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/pip3 install kikit

codesign -fs "my-certificate" /Applications/Kicad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/Resources/Python.app

@conradopoole sweet! I will try this out this afternoon.

Would this be mitigated if this package were installed through the new kicad plugin/package/theme manager? I know that isn't really how this tool works but would be cool and much easier for non-cl people.

cdwilson commented 2 years ago

When I installed kikit I get a ERROR: wxpython 4.1.1 requires pillow, which is not installed.

@a7hybnj2 I think you can prevent the error from showing up by passing all the required packages to pip on one line (this installs for me without any errors):

/Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip numpy pillow kikit

@conradopoole the code signing works for me too. I'm also getting the assertion errors, but it looks like the panelizer is working correctly.

$ /Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/kikit panelize --layout 'grid; rows: 2; cols: 2;' --tabs full --cuts vcuts doc/resources/conn.kicad_pcb panel.kicad_pcb
./src/common/stdpbase.cpp(59): assert ""traits"" failed in Get(): create wxApp before calling this

@yaqwsx FYI, when I open pcbnew after installing the KiKit front end from PCM, I get the following error. What is it looking for to determine if there is a backend installed?

tywtyw2002 commented 2 years ago

@cdwilson On my side, the kicad kikit plugin work perfect.

@yaqwsx For macos, when you enable the plugin, the script should in /Users/xxx/Documents/kicad/6.0/scripting/plugins/ instead of /Users/xxxx/.local/share/kicad/6.0/scripting/.

Following steps

enable plugin by kikit-plugin

/Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/kikit-plugin enable panelize hideReferences
File '/Users/xxxx/.local/share/kicad/6.0/scripting/kikit_plugin.py' was created

Mv kikit_plugin to kicad plugin folder.

mv /Users/xxxx/.local/share/kicad/6.0/scripting/kikit_plugin.py /Users/xxx/Documents/kicad/6.0/scripting/plugins/kikit_plugin.py

PS: Fingers crossed and good luck

conradopoole commented 2 years ago

@tywtyw2002 Did you do any additional code signs? For me the Panelize plugin does not work either from the GUI (it does not load with same message as @cdwilson ) unless a fully code sign the full Kicad.app (with --deep), then it loads

codesign --deep -fs "my-certificate" /Applications/Kicad/KiCad.app

I figured out it was a signing issue again when from the Script console in Pcbnew I tried to run the same import the kikit_plugin.py does. Doing a :

from kikit.plugin import panelize

Resulted in the same signing error about the Team ID blah blah blah .... Only way around it for me was to fully code sign the whole app like explained above. @cdwilson let me know if this works for you as well

One side effect is that if I fully code sign Kicad.app then the kikit does not work for me from the command line.... But I rather have the GUI plugin working on my Mac and then if I want to run the CLI I just then a docker image instead. (@yaqwsx started pushing the M1 docker image as well to docker hub, if using an Intel Mac then the standard x64 image works).

NO, I disabled SIP and other security features since day 1.

I think that is called Disable Gatekeeper.

If you know what software you've running, disable security features make life easier.

Try resign the

/Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Applications/pcbnew.app

yaqwsx commented 2 years ago

@cdwilson: The message you see means that KiKit is not installed for the Python interpreter Pcbnew uses. It is shown when from kikit.plugin import importAllPlugins fails.

@tywtyw2002 Those paths are on what platform? macOS? I am not sure if I want to fix this as we have KiCAD PCM which is much user-friendlier. The kikit-plugin was created as there was no easy way of enabling the plugins. However, maintaining it means walking through KiCAD sources and replicating the path-building functions as this part of KiCAD is not exported in the Python API.

tywtyw2002 commented 2 years ago

/Users/xxx/Documents/kicad/6.0/scripting/plugins/

Yep, on Macos, the default script path is /Users/xxx/Documents/kicad/6.0/scripting/plugins/

yaqwsx commented 2 years ago

BTW: I opened a feature request in KiCAD mac package that could solve this: https://gitlab.com/kicad/packaging/kicad-mac-builder/-/issues/384

Gasman2014 commented 2 years ago

FWIW I can confirm that resigning the Kicad.app does work - it may only be necessary to sign the pcbnew.app but I din't try that. I have not needed to disable SIP.

Is there a definitive method for getting Kikit to work on Macs? I get the same notification about not installing the backend. Well... I have installed the backend and I get a help listing etc. I also installed the frontend from the Plugins area. However they just don't connect. It is a issue with t an incorrect path?

Gasman2014 commented 2 years ago

I got it to work by signing the Kicad app - as per @tywtyw2002 instructions above. i.e generate your own certificate and then do

codesign --deep -fs "my-certificate" /Applications/Kicad/KiCad.app

and

mv /Users/xxxx/.local/share/kicad/6.0/scripting/kikit_plugin.py /Users/xxx/Documents/kicad/6.0/scripting/plugins/kikit_plugin.py

Thanks for following up with me.

However, I can't find "kikit_plugin.py."

I installed the backend using: pip3 install kikit

When I type "kikit --help " it works. When I type "kikit --version" it works.

I've installed Kikit from the PCM and it says it is installed.

When I look for kikit_plugin.py in /Users/xxxx/.local/share/kicad/6.0/scripting/kikit_plugin.py (or anywhere else) I just can't find it.

If I can't find it I can't move it to /Users/xxx/Documents/kicad/6.0/scripting/plugins.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for the updated info.

However, I haven't been able to get past the first line of instructions. It may be that all my attempts have messed things up to the point it is not possible.

I am going to deinstall KiCad and do a fresh install. This may allow me to get it done.

My mistake on the first line was a little more foolish. I copied and pasted into Terminal without the first "/" before Application. Too easy to miss.

Now I am having problems with the following instruction lines.

I still can't find "kikit_plugin.py".

I am on Catalins. This may be an OS version thing. I will update to Monterey and see whether that changes anything.

Thanks again for following up with me.

I have successfully installed on Monterey but would be very surprised if Catalina was any more problematic. In fact, system security has got tighter in more recent os iterations so Catalina might well be easier.

What happens if you just evoke the python interpreter on its own - just check that you get a console running by typing

/Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/python3

into a terminal window. You should get a python console with a prompt. (Type exit() to quit this).

This relies on you having installed KiCad in tot he normal Applications directory. If that doesn’t work, I would try installing the application again and then running the full incantations once more.

Did you try on pcbnew when launched from a Kicad window? Or standalone? In my experience it only works when I launch Pcbnew.app standalone, not from Kicad. When I do it from Kicad I always get that issue with the "No backend found"

Robomaticii commented 2 years ago

John

So I believe I have got KiKit to install properly so that it works within KiCad. I haven't used it yet but it is available in Pcbnew and opens a menu when you click on the icon.

I started with a fresh install of KiCad.

I also generated my certificate as suggested in Issue #252.

Using the certificate I signed Python.app as follows:

codesign -fs “my-certificate" /Applications/Kicad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/Resources/Python.app

Next step is as you suggested:

/Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip numpy pillow kikit

and:

/Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/kikit-plugin enable panelize hideReferences

I made a plugins" directory in /Users/"User Name"/Documents/kicad/6.0/scripting/

Then I opened KiCad and installed KiKit from the PCM.

Close KiCad.

Check to see if kikit_plugin.py is in /Users/chimney/Documents/kicad/6.0/scripting/plugins/ - it was there for me.

If not, it would have to be moved there from wherever.

Last step is to sign the KiCad.app.

codesign -fs my-certificate /Applications/Kicad/KiCad.app

Voilà. C'est ça.

I will post it on Issue #252 for others to try.

Thanks for your help. I couldn't have done it without your valuable input.

Regards

Robert

This was the missing secret sauce for me.

Hi! I see that you made a progress with this issue. Would you mind writing a step-by-step guide and submitting it as a pull request to the documentation?

PS: Is there anything we could ask from the KiCAD developers to make the whole process easier? I find the current situation on Mac really bad, however, since I am not a Mac use I am not sure if I fully understand what needs to change.

I will put together a step-by-step guide and submit it as a pull request.

However, I wish I knew exactly why it works. I am more of a hardware guy and an artificer (someone who just makes things work) - not a programmer. I suspect it has something to do with how Mac OS handles certificates. I am going to do some research to see if I can figure it out.

I will be in touch soon.
