Re: can't find pydm widget

Hi Geyang,

I see that you are using also Anaconda.

Please make sure that your Qt and PyQt are coming from conda-forge and not from defaults.

There is a bug with their recipe that I addressed but they did not yet pulled the patch.

If Jeremy’s solution didn’t work, please send me the output of:

conda list | grep qt 

conda list | grep pydm 

Cheers,

Hugo

Hi Geyang,

I had a similar problem when installing pydm initially. An easy fix is to create a file called designer_plugin.py with the following code in it:

from pydm.widgets.qtplugins import *

Then point PYQTDESIGNERPATH to the directory where this file is located.

Best,

Jeremy L.

Subject: can't find pydm widget

 

hi, 

As the steps in https://slaclab.github.io/pydm/installation.html, I used Miniconda to install the software. When I run designer(QT5), I can't find pydm widget in GUI.  

I try to add environment variable as: "export PYQTDESIGNERPATH=/home/iocusr/miniconda2/envs/pydm-env/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pydm/"

it didn't work. can anyone give me some suggestions? Thanks a lot.
