Describe your issue

After installing and uninstalling plover_layout_display, the Plugin Manager button disappeared from the Plover UI.

If I try to manage my plugins from the command line...

PS C:\Program Files\Open Steno Project\Plover 4.0.0rc2> .\plover_console.exe -l debug -s plover_plugins

I get strange errors:

Steps you've taken

I've upgraded from 4.0.0dev12 to 4.0.0rc2 but the issue remained.

Screenshots

The Plugin Manager used to be to the right of "Suggestions".

Operating system

OS: Windows 10
Plover Version 4.0.0rc2

Answer 1 · 2024-01-17T01:39:45.000Z

How problematic. It is sort of by-design that a Python environment can only have one version of a package (unlike e.g. Node.js), and Plover will not start if there's a package version conflict/missing dependency (I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug)

#1524:

even manually install plugins through plover_plugins does not work

In any case, the easy option is to uninstall Plover completely and reinstall it. (you'll need to reinstall plugins though, the dictionaries and configuration should not be deleted... but keep a backup just in case?)

The hard option would be something like running C:\Program Files\Open Steno Project\Plover 4.0.0rc2\data\bin\python -m pip install attrs==21.2 (I'm not sure what is the path to python executable exactly, search in the directory) to fix the version of that package, or just pip install -U to upgrade everything to the latest version which should work as well.

Answer 2 · 2024-01-17T20:54:48.000Z

I ended up completely reinstalling Plover.
