Manedit don't detect projects although the directory exists

[clementpoiret]

Hey, it's me again, sorry for opening so many issues in such a shot period of time!
I'm still working on the same project, but this time I updated to manedit 0.3.4.

Unlike v0.3.3, it doesn't find created projects in the main "Project Selection" page, but detects that a project already exists when we want to create a project with the same name.

Steps to reproduce:

• Code a project,
• manim --save_sections hsf.py,
• In manedit v0.3.4: create a project named for example HSF,
• Once the project is populated, you end up in the Project Selection page. On v0.3.3 you see HSF, but v0.3.4 says No project was found in the CWD; you can change the CWD or create a new project., (the directory HSF exists in the CWD),
• Go to create new project, name it HSF, you get: The project name 'HSF' points to a filled directory. If this is a project, you can open it instead.

I'll look at it, but I might not finish it today.

I failed to replicate the problem. I ran manim --save_sections hsf.py Segmentation and then manim_editor in the same directory. In the Manim Editor I selected create a new project, called it HSF, selected the Segmentation scene and confirmed.
Then I got to see this:

Did you do anything differently?

Hmm that's strange.
Here is my full folder after running manim --save_sections hsf.py, as you can see, nothing is found by manedit

HSF.tar.gz

By exporting only with manim --save_sections hsf.py Segmentation (like you did), manedit works as expected, showing the project. I personnaly exported all but BaseHsf, and tried to create a project on manedit with either all sections, or only one (in the case I uploaded in previous post, only preprocessing)

HSF.tar.gz

After rendering with Manim, there shouldn't be any project folders. So this is the expected behaviour. They only get created when creating one with the Manim Editor.
Or am I misunderstanding something?

PS: I currently can't take a look at the tar.gz I'll do that later today.

[clementpoiret]

Oops sorry, I should have been unclear. Yes, I know that manim doesn't create the project, it's created by manedit.
But, when I export only one section using manim (like you did), I can create a project and see it on manedit. So I can replicate what you did.
However, when I export everything with manim (actually all but not the BaseHsf), manedit creates the project but I can't see it in the project selection page

[christopher-besch]

Copy that.
I'll look into it later today.

I managed to reproduce the problem and fixed it. Could you check v0.3.5 and see if it's still there? Feel free to close the issue when everything is resolved.

And don't sorry for opening many issues; this kind of feedback is exactly what I need.
Thanks a lot again!

PS: If you're interested in knowing what caused this: I'm using JSON Schema files to check if a project.json really belongs to a Manim Editor project. These schemas contain information on how the different fields in the JSON should look like. You can create these schema files from an example JSON, which I've done. The problem was that the duration of all sections in that example were integers. So the Schema set that as the type for the duration parameter. Your example has a float somewhere though, so it just refused to load.

Amazing! :D
I tried and it works as expected.

Thanks for your reactivity and the explanation!
