Couldn't load plugin 'qgis_resource_sharing' due to an error when calling its classFactory() method

[mbalinos]

Environment

• Plugin version: 0.16.0
• QGIS version: 3.10.13-A Coruña A Coruña, 1353ce2860
• Operating System: GNU Linux Debian Buster 10

What is the bug?

Include some logs here, in QGIS Logs panel, bottom right icon, the small bubbles.

I have tried the Plugin in Windows 10 Home Edition and did not have the same error as in GNU Linux Debian Buster 10.
Below is the error log using GNU Linux Debian Buster 10. Thank you for your help. - Marygrace

Hello @mbalinos,

A new version is available with a bunch of improvments and fixes:

• GitHub Release: https://github.com/QGIS-Contribution/QGIS-ResourceSharing/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta1
• official QGIS plugins repository: https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/qgis_resource_sharing/version/1.0.0-beta1/

For now, it's still flagged as experimental.
Can you test again and tell me if you still encounter this bug please?

Hi Guts and mbalinos! I got same bug after updating/reinstaling the plugin (Resource Sharing ver. 1.0/ QGis ver. 3.26).

I have tried installing beta version but still getting same bug problem. What would U suggest to do for fixing that problem??
Thanks in advance!!

[Humboldt35]

Hi Guts Hi and mbalinos! I couldn't install the plugin yet. Same error when trying. Is there any solution for that issue??
I would greatly appreciate if U have a possible suggestion for fixing it.
Thanks in advance!!

[afourneyron]

Hi @Guts
i have the same error og @mbalinos and @Humboldt35.
I tried to install the beta version to test. But the installation fails with this error:

if you have any ideas or advice, I'd love to hear from you.

In any case, thank you for all your developments, you're really doing a great job.
Thanks for your help!!

[Guts]

Why do you test the beta version since a stable 1.0.0 is available then?

In case you missed it, I've just announced a development cycle granted by @Oslandia. See: #322

I'll look into those blocking issues in next weeks. In the meanwhile, could give more inputs about your environment?

• is the QGIS profile new?
• which operating system?
• QGIS version?
• installation method (msi, osgeo4w, apt, flatpak...)?
• settings that can have an impact (network, profiles oath...)?

Thank for your interest and kind words

[afourneyron]

Hello Guts,
Thanks for your reply!

I tested the beta version and the stable version, I hadn't seen the stable version at first. but same error.

Thanks for clarifying the development cycle! Oslandia does a great job for the QGIS community. Congratulations again and thank you.

As far as I'm concerned, nothing urgent, we've got round the problem by using our servers to provide a picto library. But if we could share picto with the community, that would be great.

To give you more information about our environment :
-The profile is managed by the IS department. (there may be some leftovers).
-Windows
-3.28.14-Firenze

Thank again for all :)

[Guts]

I tested the beta version and the stable version, I hadn't seen the stable version at first. but same error.

I've just released a 1.1.0-beta1 version in the experimental plugins channel. Can you try it again with this version please?

As far as I'm concerned, nothing urgent, we've got round the problem by using our servers to provide a picto library. But if we could share picto with the community, that would be great.

If you're interested in providing end-users resources like symbols or everything that takes place in a QGIS profiles, give it a try to https://guts.github.io/qgis-deployment-cli/ (disclaimer: I'm the main author behind the scenes).

[afourneyron]

Yes, after testing version 1.1.0-beta1. Installation went smoothly. And best of all, adding and downloading git repositories works like a charm ! 💯

Many thanks' @Guts for your work, your time and your help.

I hope you have a lovely evening and I'm always available for testing if you need me to :)

[Guts]

Thanks for testing and reporting the good news here!

And writing godd vibes too 🤗.

Solved in 1.1.0-beta1.

[Humboldt35]

Hi folks! Morning all!. Still having the isssue after installing 1.1.0-beta1 ver. and also I have updated QGis version to last one (Prizren). Don't know what would be the problem. I am running Win 11, not any network or other relevant setting on current prg setup. If necessary I would send a new log file. Thanks for answering, good for Axel that could fix it!! Cheers!

[Guts]

Sad to read that it did not fix your issue @Humboldt35!
Can you try on a new QGIS profile please?

Settings > User profiles > New Profile... > test_resource_sharing

If you are on Linux, you can run something like that:

qgis --profiles-path /tmp/QGIS/debug --profile test_resource_sharing

If you are on Windows, you should run something like this (adapt to your QGIS exe path):

PS C:\Program Files\OSGeo4W\QGIS\LTR\bin> .\qgis-ltr-bin.exe --profiles-path $env:TMP/QGIS/debug --profile test_resource_sharing

Then, enable experimental extensions channel and try to install it.

Regarding the supported version, we're gonna to remove older versions than LTR (3.28 for now, 3.34 in a few weeks).

[Humboldt35]

Hi Guts, I have tried it on a New Profile and it worked well, not prompt any error message. What could be the main problem?? any previous installation??. Your last suggestion is for applying while the program is closed, is that right?. Thanks for ur quick answer!

[Guts]

Hi Guts, I have tried it on a New Profile and it worked well, not prompt any error message. What could be the main problem?? any previous installation??.

Maybe. Try to remove the entire plugin folder by uninstalling it and, if necessary removing every related folder in the profile.

Your last suggestion is for applying while the program is closed, is that right?. Thanks for ur quick answer!

Not sure to understand what you mean by suggestion... Creating a profile on the fly in a temp folder? Or removing older QGIS versions support?

[Humboldt35]

Hi Guts! I was refering to testing a new profile while installing QGis Resource Sharing in this profile. When changing btw profiles error prompted again with these logs:
