CQ CLI finding modules

[Walt Z]

I've got CQ-Editor working with my model and it works great.  I'm now trying to use CQ-CLI to generate an STL file and it doesn't find my modules other than the main one.  Here's the start of my main module:

import cadquery as cq

from cadquery import exporters

import sys

def delModule(name):

if name in sys.modules:

del sys.modules[name]

delModule("common")

import common as c

Here's the error message:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'common'

common.py is in the same folder as my main python file.

How can I make cq-cli see my other modules?

[Jeremy Wright]

Try setting the PYTHONPATH environment variable to the directory containing common.py when starting cq-cli.

Does your main CadQuery script use relative imports in it?

Hmm....

Does cq-cli use CadQuery 1.0?

It looks like the "bool not subscriptable" error comes from passing "centered=False" to box().  In CQ 1.0, centered needs a 3-tuple.

Any way I can get it using CQ2?

[Jeremy Wright]

cq-cli does not support CQ 1.x, only CQ 2.x.

CQ 2.x was changed to accept both a bool and a 3 tuple. Are you running an older release of cq-cli from before that change was made? You could try one of the newer development builds. https://github.com/CadQuery/cq-cli/actions/workflows/pyinstaller-builds-actions.yml

Otherwise, please post some sample code.

I installed CQ CLI Release for CadQuery 2.1 from here: https://github.com/CadQuery/cq-cli/releases

It fails on even the simplest CQ2 app (below).  I'm thinking I have both CQ1 and CQ2 installed, but I don't know enough about Python to know where to look for it.   I did find CQ 1.2.5 using pip and I removed that, but it seems I still have CQ1 somewhere.

import cadquery as cq
result = cq.Workplane("XY").box(10, 20, 30, centered=False)

[Walt Z]

Getting closer!   I added a "print(cq.__file__) to my simple app and it tells me this:

/home/walt/nextcloud/Documents/Apps/cq-cli/cadquery/__init__.pyc

[Walt Z]

But then again...

I looked in /home/walt/Documents/Apps/cq-cli, and there is no cadquery folder.  So I went into Nautilus and searched my entire machine for "cadquery", and I can account for every instance.  I don't see anything that could be a cadquery library or folder.

Just a note:

my Documents folder is a link to my nextcloud/Documents folder, so

/home/walt/Documents and

/home/walt/nextcloud/Documents are the same folder.

I am not able to reproduce this issue of cq-cli not being able to see other modules in the same directory. I created two files, box1.py and box2.py

box1.py:

> import cadquery as cq
> from box2 import make_box
>
> box1 = cq.Workplane().box(10, 10, 10)
> box2 = make_box()
>
> boxes = box1.union(box2)
>
> show_object(boxes)

box2.py

> import cadquery as cq
>
> def make_box():
>     result = cq.Workplane().box(10, 10, 10).translate((5, 5, 5))
>     return result

I then ran the following cq-cli command line and got proper looking STL output:

> ./cq-cli --codec stl --infile /path/to/box_example/box1.py
