Bug ID: 426296
Summary: Astropy Install Failure
Product: kstars
Version: 3.4.3
Platform: macOS (DMG)
OS: macOS
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: mutla...@ikarustech.com
Reporter: gary.jo...@bigpond.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Polar Alignment and Plate Solving Work Initially, then fail
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run in Simulator mode
2. Try to run Polar Alignment or Plate-Solving
3. Tested using Online & Offline Solver
OBSERVED RESULT
Error message : Python 3 and Astropy not installed.
EXPECTED RESULT
PA and Plate solving work as expected - no error message
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS: 10.14.6
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
When running'Options .../Astronomy.net/Setup':-
- Homebrew installed
- Python3 installed
- Astropy will install when you click Ok
But when I press OK I get the message 'Astropy install failure'.
I have run the manual installer using Terminal : pip3 install astropy
That seemed to work.
PA seemed to work OK (on the simulator) the first time.
Subsequent attempts did not work.
I reinstalled OSX (for other reasons) and tried again.
PA and plate solving worked OK - but only the FIRST TIE.
Subsequent attempts failed.
Attempting to re-install Astropy using 'pip3 install astropy' gives this
message :-
Requirement already satisfied: astropy in
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages
(4.0.1.post1)
Requirement already satisfied: numpy>=1.16 in
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages
(from astropy) (1.19.1)
Restarting KStars then trying to do a PA online, KStars seems to TRY to connect
to astronomy.net to solve the first image :-
"Upload complete. Waiting for astrometry.net solver to complete..."
But it never completes - spinning wheel adjacent to "Stop" button just keeps
spinning.
After several minutes, the responder says 'Solver timed out', but the icon next
to the 'Stop' button keeps spinning and KStars appears to keep waiting.
If I stop the process and try again offline, I get this message :-
"Astrometry.net uses python3 and the astropy package for plate solving images
offline. These were not detected on your system."
Same if I try again using Online.
So there appears to be an issue with the way KStars accesses the resources
needed to run Solver.
