Please cut an 0.18.5 release

That error doesn't seem related to the latest fix... Seems more like a network error actually (server inaccessible). Can you retry?

I have the same problem as @sgrogan except my program barfs:

It's endless... It looks like github changed once again since then.
Okay I'll do a much better fix now and base it on the gimodules, like 0.19.... Hopefully that should solve the problem once and for all

[yorik]

Okay done with git commit 5e51288bf6 Hopefully that's the last time we'll need it...
If someone else could test too before we release it, I'd be grateful

"yorik", i would love to test it, but I can't figure out how to do it. Or I'm doing something wrong. I copied the entire file from the link, inserted (replaced) my own AddonManager.py. and it still doesn't work. I feel that I'm doing something wrong, wrong, but how to do it right? need to kick in the right direction, where can I look?

I'm testing the v0.18 appimage. I needed to update the appimage manually. This is what I did, in the terminal I ran:

Code: Select all

FreeCAD_0.18-16146-rev1-Linux-Conda_Py3Qt5_glibc2.12-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract
cd squashfs-root/usr/Mod/AddonManager
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/5e51288bf6a3d62fa70e36d75b270ddecfd7ab09/src/Mod/AddonManager/AddonManager.py > AddonManager.py
cd ../../../
./AppRun

My results weren't reliable since I'm having internet connectivity problems which are polluting my results.

Edit: Trying to fetch the macro list hangs

Code: Select all

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Darn, that's yet another problem... Will look at it too. But did the list of workbenches appear and work correctly? That was the main issue I solved above

It's not stable. Sometimes I can see them sometime not.
When I can't see them I see

JFYI - the 0.18.5 has already arrived downstream with Arch Linux 2 days ago. I still prefer the current 0.19dev AppImage (and the exquisite AppImageUpdate mechanism which worked like a charm 23058->23141) as the 0.18.5 seems pretty much unusable, tbh.

From where I stand, the AppImage should be the goto-way to use FreeCAD, at least for Linux users. For the time being.

Just for contrast...
Have used the daily build of 0.19 for about 2 years, no issues, on Debian 10, Ubuntu 19.04, UbuntuStudio 19.04/19.10/20.04 on PC/Laptops with both Radeon and Nvidia graphics

RasbianOS compiled from scratch over the past few weeks.

And I agree that 0.18 should just be deprecated.

There are ways to allow the .deb for FC to appear in the apt repos, so it could bypass the need for 0.19 pre to be an official release, at least temporarily be available (until 0.19 is released) and just let 0.18 deprecate itself.
