Imports failing after configure/install

[pnill]

Getting an error running the app(python script) leading me to believe the import is failing or isn't happening properly,

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/steambridge", line 26, in
except filesystem.FilesystemException, e:
NameError: name 'filesystem' is not defined

Not quite sure how to handle this, I checked that the include path appended was correct and it is and there's no error to the import itself failing just this.

same error.

It seems the error is due to a filesystem.py performing basic "does file exist" checks on load. The corresponding FilesystemException isn't properly caught due to exception occurring before the file is fully loaded - in retrospect, I may have been too clever for my own good.

I'm seeing the same error on my local VM, which doesn't have Steam installed. The immediate issue is likely either 1. Linux Steam isn't installed or 2. Linux Steam's filesystem has changed. The former is more likely, so double check that the Linux Steam client is installed and updated (aka login with in).

I've updated the code locally to properly catch the exception, but it seems Valve's repo server is down, so I can't fully confirm the code yet. Once I can get Linux Steam installed to my VM, I'll upload the changes and close this issue.

I actually had steam open while trying it, so I don't think it's issue #1.

Ok, I think the problem is Steam doesn't create the steamapps directory unless an application is downloaded. The next patches I upload will handle this properly.

In the meantime, try running mkdir ~/.steam/root/SteamApps and mkdir ~/.steam/root/SteamApps/common.

[sirnuke]

As of the latest commit, SteamBridge should create ~/.steam/root/SteamApps & friends automatically if not found. Additionally, if ~/.steam/root/ isn't found, the code should generate a helpful message about the lack of Linux Steam client.

Let me know if this fixes the issue.

Actually, you should additionally be checking for a lowercase "steamapps" directory. I had to symlink SteamApps to it in order for it to run.
