I’ve been trying to create a vary crude build system for building and testing my python add-on. Basically it builds it using Blender Extensions CLI, and then it would run Blender, whilst installing it using install-file subcommand. However, the install-file dosent seem to accually work!
...
(Roblox Lighting Data): ===== Registering... =====
Add-on not loaded: "bl_ext.vscode_development.blend-sanitizer", cause: No module named 'bl_ext.vscode_development.blend-sanitizer'
....
(Roblox Lighting Data): ===== Unregistering... =====
Help would be appreciated!
