Fatal error on first use of plugin: `Spell Checker`

[jimrandell]

Hi, Thank you for your work on this launcher...with plugins and sort priority tweaks, it's getting closer to Spotlight all the time!

Fatal error using plugin: Spell Checker!

I just installed plugin: Spell Checker, opened FlowLauncher,

• typed in a word i would commonly misspell
  • don't remember now what it was
    • went back to try again,
    • to test a another word, so I could include it here
• opened FL, typed spell ...and FL immediately closed
• changed Action Word to sp,
  • same results
  • typed sp and FL died

Following instructions in error message, I have...:

• created this issue.
• included this file:
  • C:\Users\jimr\AppData\Roaming\FlowLauncher\Logs\1.9.3\2022-07-20.txt
• pasted the following error:

That keyword and error is from the Spell Checker plugin, not Dictionary. Did you let Flow install Python for you or are you using a pre-existing install on your PC?

[jimrandell]

Well color me embarrassed! (...or dyslexic, can't really tell as I'm also color blind).

• I'm using a pre-existing install of Python 3.10.3
  • installed on the root of C:\
  • is there more info I can provide on it?
• I didn't mean to be contrarian about it,
  • just trying to reduce the number of such installs.

I would be fine with using the Flow install of python, if that just makes it significantly easier to support... just let me know.

I'd like you know how much I appreciate the time you find to put into these efforts!

Cheers, -Me

It could be something Python 3.10 has changed. Garulf is the plugin dev so I'm sure he'll have a solution soon.

[Garulf]

Currently my plugins are targeted at Python 3.8 (this is the version Flow Launcher uses by default).

3.10 added a few breaking changes (very odd changes) that I have fixed but haven't updated every plugin for just yet.

@Garulf has this plugin received the update to address this error?

[Garulf]

The latest update for the Spell Checker plugin includes fixes for 3.10 so yes all issues should be addressed.

Ok thank you.
