Exception with 6.99 nightly

[cebrax]

Hello,

Thank you for this great plugin :)

Do you have any plans for 6.99 nightly compatibility? I am getting below exception:

I have a patch for this particular issue already but wanted to wait few weeks because the API is expected to be in turmoil while some major refactors take place.

[linser233]

Is there any way to use it at 6.99 now? After getting used to ibom, it's really a big hassle not to use it.

[qu1ck]

No. There are regressions in KiCad API that break ibom, i'm trying to fix them (https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/merge_requests/1103)

[cebrax]

Wow, seeing now all the things you are trying to do, I feel even more grateful for this plugin. Also, I think lots of other KiCad users are very grateful, too. Thank you for your wonderful efforts

I'm getting another exception:

File "/opt/kicad/share/kicad/plugins/InteractiveHtmlBom/InteractiveHtmlBom/ecad/kicad.py", line 220, in parse_text angle = d.GetTextAngle() * 0.1 TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'EDA_ANGLE' and 'float'

My case, also Nightly 6.99:

@qu1ck Any updates? I'm running into the same EDA_ANGLE issue as @hildogjr

Just pushed 50c790cc6494d62d6127e38725312a0f9202ce94, it brings compatibility up to current nightly. If you are running into issues please update kicad first before reporting them, otherwise keep posting problems in this bug.

Just pushed 50c790c, it brings compatibility up to current nightly. If you are running into issues please update kicad first before reporting them, otherwise keep posting problems in this bug.

Works for me now, thanks.

Updating the dcm zip in the releases would be great, as I was downloading it there first. In the wiki it is refered to as "the latest release", which made me think it's generated automatically.

In any case, thanks a lot for your work. I really takes the edge out of assembling PCBs.

[hildogjr]

Nice, worked fine the fix.

@SilvanRehm that wiki also has a note abot 6.99

...first make sure that you have latest kicad nightly and latest version of the plugin from git, not a published release.

PCM zips are immutable (they are tied to a hash in the kicad repository) and I don't publish new release for every nightly change.

I did read this. But later it says:

Download latest release or clone plugin repository in a directory of your choice.

-> the PCM zip is refered to as "latest", same wording as above in the note about 6.99. This made me think I am getting the right one. It's also offered as an alternative to cloning the repo.

I've downloaded v2.4.1 and master on 6.99 and still getting Exceptios:

[qu1ck]

I've downloaded v2.4.1 and master

Don't get both, remove 2.4.1, use only master.

[DOGKiCad]

I've uninstalled v2.4.1 and installed master . Still getting the same exceptions

After extracting the ZIP files I get the below error

[qu1ck]

@DOGKiCad please read the installation wiki. You can not install this plugin on kicad nightly from PCM, remove it from PCM and follow manual installation instructions from wiki.

Attaching sample project: smpl.ZIP

(cannot edit my previous post for some reason, updating right here:) Running fine with older kicad nightly: kicad-nightly-r27507.dfdedfa605-x86_64-lite.exe (dated may 06) (checked right now).

[qu1ck]

Thanks for the report, this is caused by update to wxwidgets 3.1.6 which has API breaking change that wxpython has not caught up to yet. I'll see if I can word around this.

[qu1ck]

Should be fixed in fdf59d8

Thank you! 🙂

I'm getting a similar (but different) error on Kicad 7.

[qu1ck]

Update your plugin, you are running old version.

[chuckwagoncomputing]

You're right; sorry for the disruption.

[qu1ck]

This issue is no longer relevant but I suspect it won't be long until there is one for 7.99.
