Cant load plugin

[vaughnlfisher]

Hi Followed the installation instructions on - https://craftbeerpi.gitbook.io/craftbeerpi4/development#4-install-your-plugin-locally

I cant seem to get it to load, see below!

2021-07-20:08:57:45,986 ERROR [plugin_controller.py:58] FAILED to load plugin LCDisplay
2021-07-20:08:57:45,986 ERROR [plugin_controller.py:59] No module named 'LCDisplay.RPLCD'

Thanks for your help.

There is the folder RPLCD missing. Put the folder with everything in there in the same directory like the file init.py.
Hope this will help.

yours Jan

A modification of the setup.py script should solve the issue:

1. Add also find_packages to the import of setuptools
2. replace packages=['LCDisplay'], with packages=find_packages(), (or uncomment the original and add the new)

This should do the trick and you can leave all the scripts in the subfolder.

from setuptools import setup, find_packages

# read the contents of your README file
from os import path
this_directory = path.abspath(path.dirname(__file__))
with open(path.join(this_directory, 'README.md'), encoding='utf-8') as f:
    long_description = f.read()

Thanks, setup.py is updated. I too updated the installation description in Readmy of the repo.
