Error message about testplugin (v. 0.13)

[roger64]

Hi

I had been using the "official" sigil Arch package (v. 0.9.6.1.) for several weeks without any problem when it failed the testplugin (v 0.13). (see lower)

I uninstalled it (pacman -R) and installed the sigil-git version. Compilation went perfectly without any single error. All dependencies met.

However, it failed also the testplugin (v 0.13) with exactly the same message. According to eschwartz,

That isn't a dependency error, it is an error somewhere in the internals of the plugin launcher.

Possibly in /usr/share/sigil/plugin_launchers/python/opf_parser.py it is failing to build the list of files according to type somehow, though I have no idea why not.

Here we are.

I'll take a look, but I'm not seeing any issues with the various plugin iter routines using the latest git on Arch.

You ARE running the test plugin on the default, empty epub and not any other epub, right? It has to be the default template epub created when opening Sigil for complete success to be possible.

Like roger64, I also have an Arch machine and wasn't able to reproduce these errors with my home-built Sigil version. (I used DiapDealer's instructions.)

@eschwartz: Does the testplugin also display the same 4 error messages on your machine?

[roger64]

I had previously tried on a big EPUB. Trying the testplugin on the empty default EPUB as you suggested gives a success.

All's well that ends well.

[eschwartz]

@roger64,

Well, that certainly explained it.

The underlying reason is because the testplugin is testing for the presence of specific, named files -- trying to exactly match the contents of the default empty book.

If it could just look at any ebook, then how would it know whether it is correctly interpreting the contents of the book?
