Schematic diffs not output

[metropt]

When I run kiri there is no schematic diffs. During the setup I notice that now there is no ./install.sh on cd kiri/submodules/plotkicadsch

When running kiri I got:

Output folder: /home/pc/development/kiri/kiri
/home/pc/development/kiri/bin/kiri: line 1002: receiver.sch: command not found
/home/pc/development/kiri/bin/kiri: line 1003: remote-hw.sch: command not found

If I use a kdiff from last July everything works fine.

Hey metropt@, I think you can use the following to install plotkicadsch. I'm getting the same issue as you though, the schematic diffs are not shown.

opam install plotkicadsch

This is the output from my chromedevtools, it looks like some things are missing:

Guys, sorry I am not with my computer to help you better. Previously I was using a fork of plotkicadsh. The I reverted it to the original one, since I prefer to use the original version of it but I forgot that I had this install script made by myself. You could try to download tbe install script from my fork and place it in the same folder it is there trying to install it again. Or, instead, clone my fork instead of the original one. I will have to fix this, but it will take some days until I have a computer with me.

[leoheck]

Here is the url of my fork.
https://github.com/leoheck/plotkicadsch

[leoheck]

This is the install.sh script. Adding it to tbe plotkicadsh folder may help. If this is the issue you are facing.
https://github.com/leoheck/plotkicadsch/blob/master/install.sh

[leoheck]

Now, if you are using Kicad 6. This won't work since plotkicadsh is not working for Kicad 6 yet. Maybe some thumbs up on the issue I have on plotkicadsh repo could help us to ask the author to speed up his development.

[leoheck]

Ah, actually the issue was not created by me. Here it is.
jnavila/plotkicadsch#40

[hkennyv]

@leoheck wow, thanks for the response and for maintaining these package(s), great work, really. I'll try with your fork tomorrow and let you know how it goes!

[hkennyv]

Still having some issues, I'm testing with this repository here, I'm testing with the sample repository from the plotkicadsch guide. Any ideas? I'm comfortable jumping into the bash & python stuff if needed, my OCaml isn't great though :-)

The webserver seems to start up alright, but seems to be missing some svgs

[metropt]

With the script @leoheck provided I hadn't any problems.

[leoheck]

Hi. Checking if everything is good here. If yes, I will close this issue.

I have extra information that may be related. I am not generating blank.svg images when there is no image anymore. I was doing this because the browser displays something weird when the image is missing and that was the easiest thing for me to implement. Now, I am hiding the image with javascript instead of displaying a broken image. This is why you will see these Image errors from now on. I also don't like this, but I could not find a way to hide this message.

Second thing. Kiri does not generate Schematic Diffs for Kicad 6 yet. This is done by plotkicadsh which does not support it yet.

[hkennyv]

Thanks @leoheck ! I haven't had a chance to double check yet, but if it worked for metropt, it's likely something with my WSL :)

[leoheck]

I am finishing the setup of a windows machine here to check if the tool has any issues. I thought this was done. But you can open this again if the issue persists.

[leoheck]

Hey, any luck here?

I would say that you guys could upgrade it again to check if it is better for you. I fixed some issues that prevented Kiri from displaying layout-related images when the board was made with Kicad 6.

If it is working, then I will ask you to close this issue.

[leoheck]

I am closing this. There is a new refactored version of Kiri. I would recommend you give it a try.
