Well smart people I am stuck. Nothing changed on my end about htis stuff last night. You all saw me making changes that last one before I left last night failed to build and now I can;t figure out why. Update build.yml by V1EngineeringInc · Pull Request #553 · V1EngineeringInc/V1EngineeringInc-Docs · GitHub

My google fu says the new ubuntu needs this stuff to be in a virtual environment, that all seems to work mkdocs seems to be there but the build part is not working. Maybe I need to point the last line to the right folder or something??

I saw you make changes last night, but all of your pull requests are still open.

Did you intend to merge those in?

ah…nvmd, I see you got to those now :slight_smile:

Seemed to work fine until you told it how to find your DeWalt tool mount…

I’ve had this error previously (can’t remember where…)

Run python -m pip install --upgrade pip
error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
    python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
    install.

My solution at the time, was to follow this from this StackOverflow answer:

use pip 's argument --break-system-packages

otherwise, you need a virtual environment I believe

Why are you trying to update the build.yml file?

Run py -m mkdocs build --clean --strict
  py -m mkdocs build --clean --strict
  shell: /usr/bin/bash -e {0}
/home/runner/work/_temp/68ee3716-221d-4012-91bd-191ecc8388b4.sh: line 1: py: command not found
Error: Process completed with exit code 127.

py: command not found

Should this be python not py?

@vicious1

Looks like there was a backend patch applied, or some change.

Your last successful run was on

Current runner version: '2.320.0'
Operating System
  Ubuntu
  22.04.5
  LTS

You first failure says

Current runner version: '2.320.0'
Operating System
  Ubuntu
  24.04.1
  LTS

Likely you may have moved to anew Python version or something like that…I feel like this might be where I ran into it before, but I’m no Python/Linux expert…or maybe it was an OS patch…can’t remember

anyway, here’s the options…

Nice Mike, I was about to post something similar.

You can be explicit about the version of Python you use

with the action they have in the example for mkdocs.
actions/setup-python@v5

I’m not sure all the implications though, and what else this could break

Your other option might be to figure out how to specify this:

image1198×827 35.8 KB

back to ubuntu 22.04.5

@vicious1 Looks like the correct syntax is to change ubuntu-latest to ubuntu-22.04

Hey @vicious1, @jamiek, just noticed we could easily add a link to LR4 Calc that opens Jamie’s Strut generator with width (and other params) already populated, for example…

Hey @orob, Ryan merged pull request 550. I can’t repro the issue above, is it fixed for you too?

There’s still other rounding/conversion issues, which someone/we’ll get to.

Okay so it looks like metric an imperial work now, right?

I changed inches to round to the nearest 1/8" if you want more precision use metric? Or should I do 1/32nd?
