Extension uninstall says "unable to find extension"

[Steve2Q]

When I run wee_extension --list I get the following:

                      Extension Name    Version   Description
pmon              0.4       Collect and display process memory usage.
Rtgd              0.3.3     weeWX support for near realtime updating of the SteelSeries Weather Gauges.
SteelSeries       2.6.3     A weeWX extension for the SteelSeries Weather Gauges.
as3935            0.2       Capture lightning data from AS3935 hardware

I have not used the as3935 extension in a long time, so I tried wee_extension --uninstall=as3935  I get the following:

Request to remove extension 'as3935'
Unable to find extension as3935

Where should I look for any "remnants"??

Thanks

wee_extension does its housekeeping in the directory 'installer' in the weewx user directory.

at some point you must have removed some of the housekeeping files that wee_extension installed.  to fix it, remove the rest of the housekeeping files.

wee_extension will create the following in the weewx user directory (typically /home/weewx/bin/user or /usr/share/weewx/user, depending on how weewx itself was installed).

user/installer/

user/installer/EXTENSION_NAME/

user/installer/EXTENSION_NAME/install.py

you probably deleted user/installer/as3935/install.py but did not delete the directory user/installer/as3935

please do this:

ls -lR /usr/share/weewx/user/installer

(i made some assumptions in my previous posting, but it would be better to see exactly what is happening on your system before jumping to my conclusions)

Thank you, Matthew! That did the trick.
