cannot enable addon (translations cache for the addon already exists)

[Puupyqueen]

when I try to enable the addon I get this error

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\NAME\Downloads\blender-3.4.0-alpha+master.ba74704c9ace-windows.amd64-release\blender-3.4.0-alpha+master.ba74704c9ace-windows.amd64-release\3.4\scripts\modules\addon_utils.py", line 369, in enable mod.register() File "C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.4\scripts\addons\blender_uasset_addon_init_.py", line 42, in register translation.register() File "C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.4\scripts\addons\blender_uasset_addon\translations\translation.py", line 65, in register bpy.app.translations.register("blender_uasset_addon", translations_dict) ValueError: bpy.app.translations.register: translations message cache already contains some data for addon 'blender_uasset_addon'

I see this and it wont enable

Can you tell me more details to reproduce the situation? It looks like you enabled the addon twice as 2 addons. For example, I've got the same error when installing the addon twice with a zip file and my python script.

I first installed "Blender-Uasset-Addon-main" and nothing happened except a blue message at the bottom right corner (it didn't appear in the addon list) then I installed "blender_uasset_addon_v0.2.1" and got the error

[matyalatte]

I remember v0.2.1 has an issue about unregister function (fixed at this commit https://github.com/matyalatte/Blender-Uasset-Addon/commit/e562bf11d67eb2b9a2f0dc63d849bf1ea6d70a7a). It could be the cause.

Can you try a hotfixed version I uploaded here? https://github.com/matyalatte/Blender-Uasset-Addon/issues/9#issuecomment-1277820118 It's for another issue but includes bugfix for the unregister issue.

If you still get the error, relaunch Blender once. I think it'll work fine.

Also, it's not related to the error, but you should remove C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.4\scripts\addons\Blender-Uasset-Addon-main because Blender will unzip it even if it's not an addon. There is no problem even if you won't remove the unzipped folder, but it's unnecessary.

Thank you the hotfix worked
