Plugin installation failed: package manager exited with code 67

marvineer

Hi,

I am trying to build my own python plugin for DSF. I'm using version 3.5 beta 4 on DuetPi and stumbled across an error message that I can't explain myself.

When installing the plugin I get the following error message. Note that it does not matter whether I define a particular version (e.g. ==3.4.5.post2 or >=3.4.5.post2) or not.

error message

When I open the corresponding script pip3_install.py (located on the SBC: /opt/dsf/bin/) it says the following:

[...]

Return Codes:

0 - Successfully installed or already installed.  Details are sent to journalctl
1 = Something nasty happened
64 - No module was specified.
65 - Only one module can be specified.
66 - Unsupported Conditional
67 - Pip3 could not handle the request

Verson 1.0.1
Initial Release

[...]

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug to fix?

In case it is a mistake by me, here you have my plugin.json and the zip file I used (remove the .txt):

Thanks!

@marvineer You can track the output of the Python install script via journalctl -u duetpluginservice-root. Running pip3 install dsf-python==3.4.5.post2 completes successfully with exit code 0 on my setup.

@chrishamm thanks for your quick reply.

I checked the output via journalctl -u duetpluginservice-root:

@chrishamm Do you have any ideas on how I could proceed?

chrishamm

@marvineer I'm not sure TBH, that new Python package install script was contributed. You could replace the new install script command in /opt/dsf/conf/config.json (or possibly plugin.json) with pip3 again and check if that works.

@stuartofmt Any idea?

PS: That's a DCS log excerpt and nothing from the root DPS service.

Sorry, I copied the wrong output ... I have edited my post above

Let me take a look at the python dependency install script and see if I can spot anything.

stuartofmt

@marvineer
I see the problem. It has to do with some inconsistency between the way the runtime recognizes (or not) certain modules.

The installer is actually installing OK but then (when it double checks) thinks the module is not there.

The workaround for now is to manually install using ‘pip3 install dsf-python==3.4.5.post2‘
And remove the dependency from the manifest. This works because the module only needs to be installed once.

I’m traveling but should be able to get a fix sorted in the next day or so.

marvineer

@stuartofmt This sounds promising. However, it is not critical for me at all, since the workaround is quite simple (remove from manifest, install manually) - so take your time.

Thank you very much for your work!

@marvineer
@chrishamm
There is a new version (1.0.2) of pip3_install.py
located here:
https://github.com/stuartofmt/pip3_install/tree/master

The installer determines if a module is already available, if it is not: it attempts to install it and then checks to see if the module is now available.

What was happening (in this case) was that it could not determine the module was available, successfully installed the module and then failed because it could not verify the installation.

I added an additional technique to determine if a module is already installed. Apparently neither alone are bulletproof due to variations in install packages. Using both techniques should be better (especially if pip3 is the installer).

@stuartofmt works for me now, thanks again!

chrishamm

@stuartofmt Thanks, I just updated DSF to your latest install script.
