ASN.1 compiler not found about opengeode HOT 9 CLOSED

The piece of code that raises this error is this :

path_to_asn1scc = spawn.find_executable('asn1.exe')
if not path_to_asn1scc:
        raise TypeError('ASN.1 Compiler not found in path')

I suggest to check the following, from the same shell session that you execute opengeode

1. make sure that the command which asn1.exe does return something
2. if it returns something, open python3 in the console and type:

>>> import distutils.spawn as spawn
>>> spawn.find_executable('asn1.exe')

Does it display something?

from opengeode.

1. make sure that the command `which asn1.exe` does return something

It doesn't. That's weird, because I am sure that the PATH variable is set correctly. (I also tried moving the folder to /opt to make sure that it was not due to the non standard location.)

It doesn't help that "which" makes a very poor google keyword...

from opengeode.

which locates command by scanning the PATH (type man which to get the help - this works for all unix commands)

If it does not return anything, it means that the file is not in the PATH : either you have a typo in your PATH setting, or you have not updated it properly:
make sure you have run:
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/asn1scc
If this is in your .bashrc (or similar), make sure you sourced it (or open a new bash session)

from opengeode.

I think in the end it was a typo, but I am not sure because I cut and pasted again the same lines and now it works. Maybe there was a blank space at the end of the .bashrc file (which was sourced because I could see the modifications doing echo $PATH).

So, thanks again for your patience. I am still seeing errors when I open the tests, but I will consider the TASTE virtual machine since there are other people in my team that need to use OpenGeode and maybe it will save us some time.

What errors do you have now? I think it's better to fix them once for all, that will make the life of future users who want to make a native install easier.

This seems to be due to a change in Pyside2 API. I committed a fix that works here and hopefully will work with your version too.
Please do the following:

  $ cd ~/path/to/opengeode
  $ git pull
  $ pip3 install --user --upgrade .

And then try to open the project again

Looks definitely better now, I just get these two warnings:

[WARNING] This expression may result in a negative (signed) number while type of operand is unsigned - "a - 1"

Excellent! Let me know if you have any other issue.
