protontricks gives error when trying to run GUI about protontricks HOT 11 CLOSED

That's weird; my guess is that one of your Steam library paths has weird characters that are not playing nice with the glob module?

Could you run the following two commands in a new terminal and paste what it prints? It should print a list of your Steam library directories.

source ~/.local/pipx/venvs/protontricks/bin/activate
python -c "from protontricks.steam import find_steam_path, get_steam_lib_paths; steam_path, _ = find_steam_path(); print(get_steam_lib_paths(steam_path))"

from protontricks.

I'm getting the same error, here's what those commands print out for me...

['/home/rob/.steam/steam']

from protontricks.

I'm getting the same error, here's what those commands print out for me...

['/home/rob/.steam/steam']

What OS are you running? What is your Python version (check with python3 --version)?

from protontricks.

Those details would help. ;)
Ubuntu 19.10 with the 5.3.0 kernel & Python 3.7.5

from protontricks.

I pushed a small update to re_debug branch that should print more information when the exception happens.

Install the test version with the following command, reopen the terminal and then try running the command that causes the crash and paste whatever it prints:

pipx install --force --spec git+https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks.git@re_debug protontricks

from protontricks.

That seems to have fixed it for me...
edit, nope it's happened again..........

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

from protontricks.

That's a different error, although it should also be handled properly as of 24070b0.

You should still be getting the sre_constants.error: bad character range D-1 at position 7 error or something similar, as the change only prints more information when that error happens.

I think my bug was caused by an outdated version of Winetricks, now updated, apologies for muddying the waters.

from protontricks.

@NodokaHanamura Please test the following test branch as described earlier:

pipx install --force --spec git+https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks.git@re_debug protontricks

I haven't been able to reproduce the error using either my own paths or what @lucifertdark provided, so it might be unique to your environment.

from protontricks.

Sorry for the delay.

I've tried both commands you've given me and got the following output:

Thanks for the help, I was able to reproduce the error and I've now fixed it in the master branch.

You can use the command in README to install the development version with the bug fix until a new release is made.
