Addonmanager problems

[kisolre]

It properly installs and updates without explicit specification of the Main branch so there is probably some magic there that could/should be applied to the Readme display?

[chennes]

The call for the README absolutely requires knowledge of the branch you want, because it's not a real git call, it's just an HTTP access to github. A real git call will use whatever the repo has set as its default branch, so something like "git clone" will work even without setting the correct branch. But I don't want you to have to clone the repo to look at its readme. For "official" repos the branch is set in the submodules file. For custom repos that you add in the preferences, you need to set the name of the branch you want to use, like this:

Code: Select all

https://github.com/FlachyJoe/FCPDWorkbench.git main

It works ok if I omit the .git part :

Code: Select all

https://github.com/FlachyJoe/FCPDWorkbench

Here is another one:

Code: Select all

Thanks, I'll add the code to strip the ".git" from those URLs.

Yeah, I had to turn off the cheat that was getting around the SSL problems we'd been having, because technically it's not a valid SSL request the way it was constructed, and Python 3.10 rejects it. I don't know how to get around that yet.

I've had same problem in Linux with 0.20 AppImage.

I found that it was the proxy settings:

Setting it as "No proxy" made it working as expected.

Defaults was different.

Hope it helps.

Opened Addon Manager. While the update check was running opened InvGears description. Update finished with the description page still open - the text "...Update check in progress..." did not change. Exited description page, set the filter to packages with updates - 3 updates displayed, one of them InvGears. Enter description page again - correct text for available update. Manually updated the InvGears WB - counter of available updates still shows 3. Update all - message window shows two successful updates BUT one of them is InvGears. Confirm message window. Addon Manager shows that just the displayed two updates were applied, update button shows properly one available update. Close Addon Manager without restart and open it again - does not show available updates but shows some errors:

Code: Select all

08:52:53  Addon Manager internal error: lost metadata for package InvGears
08:53:34  Addon Manager internal error: lost metadata for package InvGears

Restart FreeCAD, Open AddonManager again - no available updates but errors for InvGears WB:

Code: Select all

Hope that this makes sense I will not try cache reset or uninstall/install of the InvGears WB for the time being.

with fresh local compile from latest GitHub, AddonManager fails to load because of missing QtNetwork in PySide2:

Code: Select all

FreeCAD 0.20, Libs: 0.20R27049 (Git)
...
During initialization the error "cannot import name 'QtNetwork' from 'PySide2' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PySide2/__init__.py)" occurred in /home/hubertz/Documents/CAD/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/FreeCAD_build/Mod/AddonManager/InitGui.py
Please look into the log file for further information
Unknown command 'Std_AddonMgr'

which in itself is strange: is it PySide or PySide2 ? In FreeCAD_Build/Ext I have PySide, freecad and lazy_loader, no PySide2. And in PySide, there is no QtNetwork (QtCore, QtGu...)

You need to install the new dependency: the system package is probably called python3-pyside2.qtnetwork

yep, thanx, that worked. May-be worth writing it into some documentation ?

It is in the list of required packages on the wiki, but of course it's not like the wiki notifies everyone when that list changes. So people just come to the forums -- if you do a search here for qtnetwork you should get your answer pretty quickly.
