Not able to find draw.io.exe about mkdocs-drawio-exporter HOT 11 CLOSED

@tpchris1 could you give this build a shot? If it works I'll do an 0.7 release. You'll need to unzip this and install the Python wheel inside:

mkdocs-drawio-exporter-issue-18.zip

You should need to do something like the following, inside of your venv if you're using one:

pip uninstall mkdocs-drawio-exporter
pip install mkdocs_drawio_exporter-0.6.1-py3-none-any.whl

from mkdocs-drawio-exporter.

@tpchris1 I see you're using Anaconda -- can I ask how you installed it, and which version? I'll try to reproduce this as I'm not quite sure from the above.

from mkdocs-drawio-exporter.

OS: Win10

Environment: using VS code with anaconda prompt in the terminal of VS code

Anaconda version: 4.7.12

python package version:
mkdocs 1.1.2
mkdocs-drawio-exporter 0.6.1
mkdocs-material 5.5.13
mkdocs-material-extensions 1.0.1
mkdocs-mermaid2-plugin 0.4.2

I hope nothing is missed here ; )
Thank you!

Hey @tpchris1, I tried this out locally and I was able to export diagrams without the drawio_executable option set, as the plugin correctly determined the location:

> mkdocs build -v
[snip]
DEBUG   -  Trying paths ['C:\\Program Files\\draw.io\\draw.io.exe', 'ProgramFiles(x86)\\draw.io\\draw.io.exe'] for platform "win32"
DEBUG   -  Found Draw.io executable for platform "win32" at "C:\Program Files\draw.io\draw.io.exe"
DEBUG   -  Using Draw.io executable "C:\Program Files\draw.io\draw.io.exe", cache directory "\\Mac\Home\Code\avado\sre\docs-anaconda\docs\drawio-exporter" and image regular expression "(<img[^>]+src=")([^">]+)("\s*\/?>)
[snip]

Can you try again without that option set, and if it doesn't work please paste the log of mkdocs build -v?

According to the Debug info, I am assuming that only installed in the default file path as in "C:\Program Files\draw.io\draw.io.exe" is required. However, I installed it in my custom path and it seemed that the package cannot read my passed arguments as following.

plugins:
    - search
    - mermaid2
    - drawio-exporter:
        drawio_executable: 'D:\Program_Files\draw.io\draw.io.exe'

However, I did manage to solve it by installing it in the default path 'C:\\Program Files\\draw.io\\draw.io.exe' and remove the drawio_executable argument.

Is it possible for you to recreate at the drawio_executable part? Or maybe I was doing the wrong way to pass the argument?

Could you confirm the location you'd installed Draw.io to for me, was it D:\Program_Files\draw.io\draw.io.exe?

If so, it might be that Python is treating the backslashes in the path as escape sequences -- try using double backslashes? D:\\Program_Files\\draw.io\\draw.io.exe may work.

from mkdocs-drawio-exporter.

Yeah, I can confirm. I tried the double back slashes and also the single/double quotation marks. Besides, I also put the install path in the SYSTEM_PATH of Windows 10 However, none of the above worked in my previous trys.

Wow, looks like there's a corker of a bug there. I think we check that the specified executable is executable and then don't actually use it. I'll fix this and push a release either today (it's nearly 9pm here!) or tomorrow; thanks for your patience @tpchris1.

from mkdocs-drawio-exporter.

Sure! Glad to help a bit. Really like your work here!
But I am afraid I won't be able to give it a test until next Monday.
I will test it by then and tell you the result! Thank you!

from mkdocs-drawio-exporter.

I have tried the issue 18 version and confirmed that it works !
Thanks for the quick fix !

Neat, cheers @tpchris1. Release 0.7.0 will be out momentarily, so you should be good to go once you're upgraded 👍
