error "LineGroup.csv is not readable" after freecad upgrade

[zetka]

I have upgraded yesterday Freecad with chocolatey to version 24054. After that when I use any file with Techdraw, I am getting this error (multiple time) in the reporter:
21:51:40 Line Group File: C:/ProgramData/chocolatey/lib/freecad/tools/FreeCAD_0.19.24054-Win-Conda_vc14.x-x86_64/data/Mod/TechDraw/LineGroup/LineGroup.csv is not readable


When I open the abovementioned file in Excel, it could be opened without problems.
I tried to delete the whole drawing in Techdraw, open the new window and starting to work on a new view, but immediatelly after using Techdraw the errors above appeared multiple times.
Where is the problem?

Similar problem here after moving from 19.24054 to 19.24212

My guess would be you haven't got the preferences field completed as per screenshot:

Thanks, the directories were mixed up by the installation. After pointing to right ones (with absolute link to directory of pre version of freecad )the errors disappeared. The only question is, after updating the version, if the links will change too.

I'm having the same issues as OP after moving to 24789.

Line Group File: /tmp/.mount_FreeCA2mSmcl/usr/share/Mod/TechDraw/LineGroup/LineGroup.csv is not readable

I can navigate to the file and it opens just fine. I checked the preference pane as suggested by Syres and the path listed for the line group file is

/tmp/.mount_FreeCADB3Olj/usr/share/Mod/TechDraw/LineGroup/LineGroup.csv

The default template path listed has the same '.mount_FreeCADB3Olj' in it and it shows the same warning that the .SVG is not readable, but then it loads the default template in FreeCAD anyway. It appears that the paths are dynamic as the '.mount_xxxxxx' changes in the /tmp folder on every new instance of FreeCAD and the line group error shows the correct '.mount_xxxxxx' location for the current FreeCAD instance. I tried copying and pasting the actual path to the linegroup file into the preference pane path line, but it still throws the same warning.

I'm having the same issue as LSoltmann. I'm getting:

Code: Select all

Line Group File: /tmp/.mount_FreeCAaavKVN/usr/share/Mod/TechDraw/LineGroup/LineGroup.csv is not readable

However, the file is readable:

Code: Select all

ls -l /tmp/.mount_FreeCAaavKVN/usr/share/Mod/TechDraw/LineGroup/LineGroup.csv                                               ~ 
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 1.1K 2021-09-05 11:33 /tmp/.mount_FreeCAaavKVN/usr/share/Mod/TechDraw/LineGroup/LineGroup.csv

In the preferences, the following path is used for “Line Group File”:

Code: Select all

/tmp/.mount_FreeCA5fokHj/usr/share/Mod/TechDraw/LineGroup/LineGroup.csv

The ..mount_FreeCA… part seems to be auto-generated and incorrect. Is there a solution?

I think this problem only on Linux.

Im not have linux now but what is your path to Welding directory in Linux for example? Or template directory or hatch pattern directory?
Thats paths are work normal?

This string must be set initially automatically, but although it can be changed by user if desired.

I think needs a wide screenshot of this window in Linux so that all the paths can be seen. Perhaps this will somehow clarify the problem.

Sure, the path is editable. But since it changes every time FC is launched, that's not a solution. The path is dynamically adjusted and there seems to be something wrong with that. Here's the screenshot:

The beginning of the path for all folders is the same, which is good.
But yes i look paths is different in dialog and in console. This is strange.
Something method recreate temp folder, on FCPAT reading stage...
