[solved] run bimtester by python on Windows

bernd

Has someone tried to run bimtester on Windows? I have problems with its dependencies behave and pystache. In behave I just had to fix one line but pystache seams totally outdated. Last changes in 2014 https://github.com/defunkt/pystache/commits/master for example https://github.com/defunkt/pystache/issues/208

I wonder why on Debian Buster it runs smooth? This is very strange ...

Does it run on BlenderBIM on Windows? There it should have the same problems. Or are the dependencies of bimtester which must be included in BlenderBIM for Windows patched?

tried bimtester with BlenderBIM AddOn on Windows. Runs smooth without any problems.
@Moult
Have you patched any of the dependencies included in BlenderBIM to get it run on Windows. Mostly behave and pystache?

I tried to run bimtester from FreeCAD but I get a

this seams to be the problem. I used a path on a network resource. Tried in Blender, same problem but different error message came up. If the file is copied localy it runs smooth in Blender and in FreeCAD :-)

@bernd great to hear it was fixed :)
