[SOLVED] [ERROR] [PluginManager] Plugin not found

[MikeP]

Good day,

So I have been using Sofa 20.12 and SofaPython3 20.12. I have been able to use runSofa to open and animate both .scn files and .py files perfectly, however, when I try running one of the examples using python3 such as:
python3 ~/SofaPython3/examples/emptyForceField.py

Then I get the following errors:

[ERROR]   [PluginManager] Plugin not found: "SofaOpenglVisual"
[ERROR]   [PluginManager] Plugin not found: "SofaImplicitOdeSolver"
[ERROR]   [SofaRuntime] ValueError: Object type EulerImplicitSolver<> was not created  
The object is not in the factory.  
This component has been PLUGINIZED since SOFA v20.12. To continue using this component you need to update you scene and add <RequiredPlugin name='SofaImplicitOdeSolver'/>  

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/mike/SofaPython3/examples/emptyForceField.py", line 73, in <module>
    main()
  File "/home/mike/SofaPython3/examples/emptyForceField.py", line 60, in main
    createScene(root)
  File "/home/mike/SofaPython3/examples/emptyForceField.py", line 45, in createScene
    node1.addObject('EulerImplicitSolver')

This occurs for all the other examples where the plugins required are not found.

Kind regards,
Michael Pienaar

Hey Michael,

When you use the python interpreter, SofaPython3 has no easy way to determine where is installed your SOFA. For this purpose, when SOFA tries to look for plugins, it check if the environment variable SOFA_ROOT exists. If it is the case, it will look into SOFA_ROOT/plugins to find its plugins.

Could you try again setting SOFA_ROOT to your SOFA installation path?

For example:

$ export SOFA_ROOT=/your/path/to/sofa/build/install
$ python ~/SofaPython3/examples/emptyForceField.py

Thank you very much. It is working perfectly!
