Topic: Planning to record a tutorial for the plugin; encountered a problem.

Dear QET Users,

I would like to record a short video tutorial on using the Terminal Block Generator tool.
I believe it could be very valuable for the community, since the youtube videos showing the tool are a few years old already.

Right now I am a QET beginner myself and have some problems with starting the terminal block plugin. I have also watched around 4 QET tutorial series and no tutorial covered the terminal block generator plugin.

I would like to first ask for your help with setting up the plugin on Windows and Linux. I read the forum but I was not able to get the terminal block generator plugin to work on my machine.

My configuration, let's start with Windows:
qet_tb_generator-1.2.4
Windows 10 Pro x64, OS build 19042.928
QET 0.8-dev

Projects from other users I try to test the plugin with:
https://qelectrotech.org/forum/viewtopi … 082#p13082

What I already did:
- Added python to Windows environment variables
- Placed qet_tb_generator in the 

C:\Users\Jakub\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts

directory

1. Plugin cannot be started  by QET itself (Project-> "Launch Terminal Block creation plugin" gives the window informing about the installation process)
2. Getting the errors when trying to launch the qet_tb_generator.py from the command line in the C:\Users\Jakub\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts directory:

It shuts down after I specify project file in the small popup window.

Similar thing happens when I run qet_tb_generator-1.2.4.exe file.

I am very grateful for you for developing this software. I hope that we could overcome these setup problems and I will be soon able to set up my workflow and give back to the community with some how-to guides.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,
Jakub

Re: Planning to record a tutorial for the plugin; encountered a problem.

Hi jkaminki.

Please send me the QET schema and i'll check where the problem is.

To launch: Try copying the portable version in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\qet\  , and rename it to qet_tb_generator.exe.
The portable version is available at: https://github.com/raulroda/qet_tb_gene … aster/dist

Re: Planning to record a tutorial for the plugin; encountered a problem.

Hi Raul,

Thank you for your reply!
On Windows 10 I tried versions 1.1.7 (works and generates the block) and 1.2.4 (does not work). Both launched from QET.
In each case I renamed and moved the portable executable to:
C:\Users\Jakub\AppData\Roaming\qet\

I whitelisted version 1.2.4 (windows defender complained about it). 1.2.4 Starts a new window and shows detected terminals, but then the error window is displayed: "Failed to execute script run".

How could I resolve this?
I will follow your GitHub readme and also try 1.2.4 with Linux today.

Thank you again for your help.

Regards,
Jakub

version 1.2.5 solves the problem?

Re: Planning to record a tutorial for the plugin; encountered a problem.

I have the same problem with the precompiled qet_tb_generator-1.2.5.exe. QET is able to find it after I put the (renamed) file into the C:\Program Files\QElectroTech\bin folder.

Re: Planning to record a tutorial for the plugin; encountered a problem.

I tried to use the terminal block generator on a Linux machine:

Unfortunately I can't upload the .qet file because it contains confidential customer information.

Re: Planning to record a tutorial for the plugin; encountered a problem.

Try qet_tb_generator with industrial.qet example.
If work check your project.
