ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyvirtualdisplay' #132

Closed Khalinda closed 1 year ago

Khalinda commented 1 year ago

I was running KiCAD 6.0.7 and had previously installed KiKit and PcbDraw. I just upgraded to KiCAD 6.0.9 and I received a warning that KiKit had to be reinstalled. That was successful, but when I tried to install PcbDraw, following the instructions in the Installation Guide, I obtained the error message in the issue title. I am running on Windows 11, I have Inkscape 1.2.1 installed.

I just tried "pip install pyvirtualdisplay". That seems to resolve the problem.

Had the same issue: Kicad 6.0.9, on Windows, no PcbDraw plugin installed. I installed it in kicad's command prompt with pip install PcbDraw, and I got the same error about missing pyvirtualdisplay when trying to run PcbDraw.

I can confirm installing the missing package manually with pip install pyvirtualdisplay solves the issue.

Maybe pyvirtualdisplay needs to be added as a dependency in setup.py?

pyvirtualdisplay is intentionally not installed on Windows as the package doesn't work on Windows. However, there was a problem that we imported in (when we shouldn't). This is fixed in 942566e.
