[Plugin] ACE - DAISY EPUB Accessibility Checker wrapper - Page 3

KevinH · 09-14-2021, 10:48 PM

Perhaps this is a new check recently added to their Daisy ACE checker. I will update Access-Aide to add the schema:accessibilityHazard none just to be safe. It can not hurt.

Sounds good to me!

And thanks for your help and appreciation for all the work you do!

Happy to help. A new Access-Aide v054 is now available with this change.
Please do verify you are not using any animated GIFS in your epub since we set that value to none.

Definitely no animations of any sort! And I saw that you mention that on the first page, which is good, since everyone should probably be aware of checking for hazards.

Already downloaded and installed!

I've installed it (Sigil 2.0.2) but I keep getting this error whenever I run the plugin:

Status failed

Running ACE... please wait.

'ace' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

What should I do?

Visit the Inclusive Publishing website and follow the ACE installation instructions.

I did a long debug and managed to get the plugin working on macOS.

Specifically in the aceWrapper function the process must be called with

Code:

shell=True

.

In addition you have to set the PATH variable to include

Code:

/usr/local/bin

.

In addition you have to refer to Ace with the full path, in my case

Code:

/usr/local/bin/ace

Finally you have to enter the arguments not as a list, but as text:

Code:

" ".join(args)

The complete command then becomes:

Code:

process = Popen("PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin; "+" ".join(args), stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE, shell=True)

Thanks so much for this post. I made this change and the plugin is working on my Mac now too.

I have the same problem:
Windows 10
Sigil version 2.7.0
Sigil plugin response:
Status: failed

Running ACE ... please wait.

'ace' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

ACE correctly installed according to the text in the CMD window:
C:\Users\XXXX>ace --version

1.3.7

The plugin is working fine with ACE 1.3.7 on my 64bit Windows 11 machine.
Have you already tried rebooting your machine?

I hadn't but that did the trick (can't believe I didn't think of it!)...
Thank you!
