recently i created this importer addon for personal use but then decided to share it publicly to the addon website. one of the steps it asked to contain in the zip file was the manifest file and yes i did create the file and had to do many attempts to make it function properly when installing onto blender. so i opened the page to upload the extension to the official website (Blender Extensions) and got an error warning me i was missing the manifest file which i clearly included.
The image of the screenshot shows that im missing that one file but i double checked that i had it installed onto the addon’s file structure. (yea the zip isnt uploaded because the error somehow removed it)
It clearly works as it should’ve been in Blender but i cant seem to find a reason why when uploading im getting this error. Im really new to uploading an addon so any assistance would be greatly apreciated!
thx. in the zip file its named as so and also the file extension is as ‘.toml’. Do note i have updated the script and successfully ended up loading the addon to the website. I still will appreciate any further assistance with improving my manifest file the next time i create a new addon.
The issue might be that your contains a folder instead of having all of the files directly in the root of the zip. So in your case just remove the “upkg_blend” foldder.
what I’m aware about is that the addon folder must be the same name in the manifest and seemed to have worked that way and wasn’t affected by the zip filename. Thx for dropping this tip!
