gedit-latex-plugin will not load

I have the same bug here using jaunty with all updates applied. I have the problem either installing from the source or installing using apt.

ImportError: Import by filename is not supported.

** (gedit:11778): WARNING **: Error loading plugin 'Gedit LaTeX Plugin 0.2 rc1'

same bug in 64bit jaunty all updates

Reported upstream.

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2658747&group_id=204144&atid=988428

gedit doesn't accept a path like "GeditLaTeXPlugin/src" in Module-line of the "gedit-plugin"-file, so maybe this is the bug (it worked in intrepid-version of gedit)

a workaround for the gedit-latex-plugin could be to cut the files and folders from /usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins/GeditLaTeXPlugin/src and paste in /usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins/GeditLateXPlugin and change in /usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins/GeditLateXPlugin.gedit-plugin "Module=GeditLaTeXPlugin/src" to "Module=GeditLaTeXPlugin"

Yes, that avoids the ImportError. But it gives this traceback:

The problem is due to python2.6 transitions. Code of g-l-p isn't tested with it.
I'll fix asap, or you'll have to wait upstream releasing a new revision.

That would be much appreciated.

I think I solved the problem, but I need some feedback.
Please do the following:
1) change /usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins/GeditLateXPlugin.gedit-plugin as said by hannibal:
from "Module=GeditLaTeXPlugin/src" to "Module=GeditLaTeXPlugin"
2) add a __init__.py file in /usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins/GeditLateXPlugin/, containing the following code:

#!/usr/bin/python
from src import *

3) restart gedit, and try to activate the plugin.

Let me know, if it'll solve completely the problem, I'll upload asap in both ubuntu and debian.
thanks.

Yes, it works. Don’t know if this is the right way to fix it, but it certainly does the trick.

I confirm it is working.

Could you also take care of the related compatibility problem in bug #338285 ?

@Tobias: the right way to fix is rework completely the plugin.
As said, python2.6 doesn't support calling __import__ with a directory name. (and it was somehow accidental that it worked until now).

Anyway: thanks for the feedback, I'll upload a new revision as soon as possible. :)

Well, Andrea's method but I still can't activate the Latex Plugin. It just becomes grey'ed out.

Jordan, if you have a bunch of time, please launch gedit from a terminal, and paste the output somewhere.
thanks!

Fix works for me. Thanks!

The diff should fix this, #328479, and some bug reported in debian.

I am not sure whether the bug was really fixed. I am using the version 0.2rc3 under Lucid. Whenever I want to toggle the embedded preview, it results in an error "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'editor'" as in post #5, which is displayed in a popup window.

The traceback here reads:
**
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins/GeditLaTeXPlugin/src/util.py", line 150, in decorated_function
    return function(*args, **kw)
  File "/usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins/GeditLaTeXPlugin/src/latex/actions.py", line 267, in activate
    editor = context.active_editor
  File "/usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins/GeditLaTeXPlugin/src/base/__init__.py", line 1043, in active_editor
    return self._window_decorator._active_tab_decorator.editor
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'editor'
**

Best,

Marc

as Marc reported back in May, the plugin is still not working with Lucid. I too get the popup and traceback he reported.

None of these worked for me either. I have maverick (10.10) installed here. I installed it from the repository.
