Install breaks Qt

[abey79]

I can't reproduce this. Can you provide more information on your OS, how you installed Python and pipx, etc.

Also, how did you install vpype in the first place? The current version is 1.10. Did you install vsketch as well?

[sr67]

Hi, sure. Thanks for having a look

OS:
lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Kali
Description: Kali GNU/Linux Rolling
Release: 2021.1
Codename: kali-rolling

Python:
Don't recall how, or if, I installed, but...
python --version
Python 3.9.5

vpype:
pipx install "vpype[all]"
pipx inject vpype git+https://github.com/abey79/vsketch --include-apps
pipx inject vpype hatched

I also injected the following, but only get this behavior when I inject hatched in any order in the process
pipx inject vpype vpype-occult
pipx inject vpype vpype-perspective
pipx inject vpype vpype-embroidery
pipx inject vpype vpype-vectrace
pipx inject vpype git+https://github.com/serycjon/vpype-flow-imager
pipx inject vpype vpype-pixelart

Can you provide the output of pipx inject --verbose vpype hatched (when starting clean)?

Edit: actually the whole thing would be interesting:

$ pipx uninstall vpype
$ pipx install --verbose vpype
$ pipx inject --verbose vpype hatched

Same error if I install just vpype[all] and hatched without vsketch. And vpype version remains 1.10.0 without vsketch install. show works before hatched install but not after.

OK, I think I've figured it out (and could have from your first message -- sorry for having you run circles 😅).

Try:

$ pipx runpip vpype uninstall opencv-python
$ pipx runpip vpype install opencv-python-headless

The base OpenCV installation includes a Qt distribution that appears to interfere with PySide2 in your case.

[sr67]

No worries, appreciate your help! Yes that seems to have solved my issue. Thanks so much.

[abey79]

Juste released hatched 0.2.0, which fixes this issue for good.
