Issues the Version 8.0.3-rc and JLCPCB tools

[Nick_Doe]

I have been having issues with JLCPCB tools and Version 8 - version 7 worked well for me.

With version 8 most of the features only work the first time I run the plugin.
On the second time I get

“Download” gives

“Generate” does nothing - no messages no files generated

This happens the second time I open the plugin and the only way I can make things work again is to exit KiCad completely (including the launcher).

Do you mean this one? GitHub - Bouni/kicad-jlcpcb-tools: Plugin to generate BOM + CPL files for JLCPCB, assigning LCSC part numbers directly from the plugin, query the JLCPCB parts database, lookup datasheets and much more.

Have you brought it up to date? Maybe check the Issues page to see if your problem is there?

It’s probably related to Exception on python action plugin code · Issue #475 · Bouni/kicad-jlcpcb-tools · GitHub
