Assertion Error when running Amulet from outside the executable directory

[vadim-goryunov]

When I am trying to switch to 3D Editor after opening a map (auto-generated by Minecraft) - Amulet shows this error

Traceback (most recent call last):

and then 3D Editor disappears.

First time trying to use Amulet.
Please let me know if I am missing something obvious.

Worlds

the world is the standard one auto-generated by Minecraft

Are you running from source or the compiled build?
I am trying to work out why I can't reproduce this.

[vadim-goryunov]

This is a precompiled version available on the website. I managed to launch it from sources now. However, the version from sources didn't work with python 3.10. I had to downgrade to python 3.9 to make it working

[gentlegiantJGC]

Are you running the exe through a shortcut or something? I think that is what is causing it. It looks like an issue with pyinstaller.

[vadim-goryunov]

yes, I was running executable directly. Will try via a shortcut

[gentlegiantJGC]

Running the executable directly should work.
I have reproduced the issue when running the executable from a different directory.

[gentlegiantJGC]

I have just submitted code to pyinstaller that will fix this issue but it will still be an issue until they accept the changes and release a new version with the changes and we do a release with that version.
pyinstaller/pyinstaller#6529

[gentlegiantJGC]

Pyinstaller accepted the fixes so one of the next builds should fix this.
