plugin don't active when i ticks it

[Cherkah]

hi

your plugin might have be usefull fo me if it works .
i can't active the plugin. when i tick it i get a red cercle. wherever i put the pyfile and its folder (user or global) the probleme is the same.

what's wrong?

distro: debian testing/gnome shell
gedit -v > 3.20

Have you tried the gedit-3.14 branch? This may fix your situation. See also issue #12.

I should probably merge that branch into master, but from my point of view important features are missing, still broken or the plugin is generally not good enough to meet users' expectations. See issue #8 for a related discussion.

Ooops, I've just checked, and the branch is already merged into master.

• Can you run gedit from the Teminal and share the output in the error situations? (What is the exact error message?)
• Please also share the Python version (python --version, python3 --version)

output frome terminal:

ImportError: No module named 'reST'

That sounds like an error that can be easily solved!

You need find out where a location is on your system that holds Python modules, which import correctly, and place the reST.plugin file and the reST folder there. Finding out can be a bit tricky though.

Are you sure you have tried putting reST in the ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins/ folder?

[Cherkah]

thank,

my file/folder are in the local path ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins/ folder (user one) yet, and there are in some gedit's plugins wiche gives me no issues . as i said in my first msg i've tried "user and global (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gedit/plugins)" before to join you.
can you point me out a location or should i give up rest-plugin?
thx

[bittner]

1. Please verify that the location you put both the reST.plugin file and the reST folder in really contains plugins that work with your installation of Gedit. (Not an unused copy)
2. That the import fails means that the plugin information as such is there (i.e. the plugin is found). But now the process of importing goes havoc. This suggests there are some files in the rest/ folder or even the complete folder missing, so that Python fails to import for technical reasons.

Please double check those things.

ok bittner.
the library gir1.2-webkit-3.0. was missing.
now i can tick the plugin in gedit and it works.
thanks a lot for your patience.

regards

You're welcome! Glad it works for you.
