Cannot run this app on Linux Mint

[Jeremi360]

I try to run this on Linux Mint 19.3 x64 with python 3.6.9
I made:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt --upgrade

But when I try to run:
python3. -m renpytexteditor.py

I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Can you send over the config/config.json file ?

This traceback indicates that the file is not properly formatted JSON, though the default file passes when linted

I have exactly the same on Kubuntu 18.04.3. (Same base OS vers. and py vers.) and RTE-0.95b release.
Found your little bug in the config/config.json. One missing comma and a parens to much:

{
    "wm_width": 1270,
    "wm_height": 575,
    "theme_name": "monokai",
    "insert_spaces_instead_of_tabs": true,
    "tabs_length": 4,
    "show_whitespace_characters": false,
    "debug": true,
    "start_maximized": false,
    "locale": "en-US",
    "path_to_git": "",
    "side_notebook_width": 200
}    "scrollbar_width": 20
}

I corrected this for my install and get now this error:

python3 -m renpytexteditor.py
/usr/bin/python3: Error while finding module specification for 'renpytexteditor.py' (AttributeError: module 'renpytexteditor' has no attribute '__path__')

With the source code from current "master" the json error is gone, but it throws also the previous cited error.
And... :
python3 renpytexteditor.py works for me.

I don't change config/config.json I just try to run it for first time.

{
    "wm_width": 1270,
    "wm_height": 575,
    "theme_name": "monokai",
    "insert_spaces_instead_of_tabs": true,
    "tabs_length": 4,
    "show_whitespace_characters": false,
    "debug": true,
    "start_maximized": false,
    "locale": "en-US",
    "path_to_git": "",
    "side_notebook_width": 200
}    "scrollbar_width": 20
}

O I see I have one too many brackets and one missing comma.

I fix config/config.json and now I get the same result as @madeddy :

/usr/bin/python3: Error while finding module specification for 'renpytexteditor.py' (AttributeError: module 'renpytexteditor' has no attribute '__path__')

Will check this out. I have to admit, I'm surprised to see people interested in the project since I haven't worked on it for the past 8 or so months.

[Jeremi360]

@Dogeek There are more and more more added renpy games so people will be interest in it 😄
I just curious because I make Rakugo is like Ren'Py, but for Godot Engine.

[sbordeyne]

I just tested it on windows without any issues. It'll take me a while to have access to a linux machine to test it on though.

My best bet is that I didn't put any shebangs in the python files. Are you running the app from the released version, or from source ?

[madeddy]

For me both variants like said in my last msg. And to repeat it:

• The json error is with "current" master source gone.
• Running the app without -m switch works. So -> python3 renpytexteditor.py simply.

The interest? I found it earlie summer by chance and lurked some from there. RTE is something i thought already years ago we should have for the engine.
Coding to script is fine for me, but there are other people... On top of this i see no benefit in repeating some more often and longer code constructions again and again by hand. Its dumb imo and time consuming.
Also a thing i wish for is a WYSIWYG window for image arrangement and text input + formating etc. This would be a boon for the workflow i believe.

@Dogeek
I run version from last release.

@madeddy
You are right now it works when run whit out -m

Correction it only seams to work when I try to open exmaple project form test folder nothing happens after opening it. I got this in console:
