Entirely possible I'm missing something obvious here, but I just tried installing the QGIS Kart plugin, and I'm getting the following error in the Python error log when going to Plugins -> Kart -> About....

I then went to Plugins -> Kart -> Settings... and set Kart executable to /usr/local/bin/kart and get the following error in the Kart log:

Non-ascii character was removed in b28dda6, but https://github.com/koordinates/kart-qgis-plugin/blob/main/kart/plugin.py#L66 should probably call .read(..., encoding='utf-8')? AFAICS QGIS opens metadata as UTF8.

@volaya

  1. can we change kartExecutable() to start with shutil.which('kart') first, and then fall back to the default paths? On Linux & macOS we by default put a symlink in /usr/bin/ or /usr/local/bin/, and on Windows by default we add to the system path, so kart by itself will generally Just Work™. Ah... I have vague recollections we already did this and QGIS messes with the system path?

  2. Regardless, the default macOS path in https://github.com/koordinates/kart-qgis-plugin/blob/main/kart/kartapi.py#L84 is missing a leading /.

A: yes, it resets the environment as seen by the QGIS Python Interpreter.

$ python3 -c 'import shutil; print(shutil.which("kart"))'
/usr/local/bin/kart

QGIS Python Console:

>>> import shutil
>>> print(shutil.which('kart'))
None
>>> import os
>>> os.environ['PATH']
'/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin'
