Hi @andlo, I have been using your voicekit skill for a few weeks and it was working fine.
I uninstalled and reinstalled and it failed to load. Looking through the log it referenced line 56 in the init.py file and I saw that the last line had Voicehat instead of Voicekit (you pointed that out the other day to me on the previous version). Once I changed it, it worked! Lights, response, all good.
Thanks again for such a useful skill!

Thanks for the fine words.

Can you please uninstall and install from my GitHub repo - as that includes the bugfix and some other small changes. And that is what is needed testing before it can go into the market place.

I had done that.

I just performed it again and two things to note:

  1. mycroft-msm uninstall failed to work for me. I had to use mycroft-msm remove
  2. after installing I still had to modify the last line in the init.py routine to change from Voicehat to Voicekit to make it work.

Working again.

Ohh my mistake - mycroft-msm is “remove” the command to uninstall…

I realy dont understand why you get same error about last line voicekit vs voicehat.

Can you try once more, and after dooing

mycroft-msm **remove**

delete the skills directory from the skills directory (to make sure nothing is left behind)

rm -r /opt/mycroft/skills/picroft-google-aiy-voicekit.andlo/

and then do a install by

mycroft-msm install https://github.com/andlo/picroft-google-aiy-voicekit-skill.git

And many thanks again

After removing the skill this time, I checked and the picroft… skills directory was already gone from the /opt/mycroft/skills directory.
And I copied and pasted the install command which installed properly. The last line in the init python script still had the Voicehat instead of Voicekit. changing that made it work.

Thanks.

That donst make any sense as it is not there on GitHub…

Ohh maybe mycroft-msm is caching something in the /opt/mycroft/.skils-repo, and then you never get the good stuff.

@KathyReid - could it be that @gadgetguy even if he did a msm remove and a new msm install from my GitHub repo, that msm uses the cache and not the real thing ?
