AttributeError: 'Editor' object has no attribute 'run_cell_action'

I followed these steps to get cadquery and CQ-Editor installed:

python3 -m venv ~/local/cadquery
source ~/local/cadquery/bin/activate
pip3 install --upgrade pip
pip3 install cadquery

pip3 install PyQt5 spyder pyqtgraph logbook
pip3 install git+https://github.com/CadQuery/CQ-editor.git

This pulled in the latest CQ-editor commit from master. I'm now getting the following error when I try to run the cq-editor command:

(cadquery) james@sauron ~/local $ cq-editor

I can get CQ-Editor to run if I manually open ~/local/cadquery/lib/python3.10/site-packages/cq_editor/widgets/editor.py and comment out lines 107-110:

menu.removeAction(self.run_cell_action)
menu.removeAction(self.run_cell_and_advance_action)
menu.removeAction(self.run_selection_action)
menu.removeAction(self.re_run_last_cell_action)

Here is the env specification: https://github.com/CadQuery/CQ-editor/blob/master/cqgui_env.yml You used your own installation method, does the spyder version match what is in this yaml?

I used the pip installation method mentioned in the documentation: https://cadquery.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html

It looks like that pulled in Spyder 6, which is a version above what's in the yml file.

In case anybody lands here and feel lost, a temporary workaround is to run the following (while being in the activated pip virtual environment)

pip install spyder==5

There is a pyproject.toml available now in this repository which pins the versions of the deps to prevent things like this. There is also experimental support for running pip install CQ-editor, but Python 3.12 is broken (should be fixed by #477 eventually), and Python 3.13 will not be supported until the next release of CadQuery, even once #477 has been merged.
