Pinion says pcbnew: no module found

This message probably means that you don't have KiCAD 9 or newer installed. On Windows, make sure you run all Pinion commands inside KiCAD Command Prompt, not in the regular command prompt. See installation.

The diagram does not show up!

If the diagram does not show up, there can be several reasons:

• you have either script or source location wrong. Open developer tools in your browser and inspect logs what went wrong.
• you open a page from local file system (the URL in browser starts with file://). In that case pinion-widget is not able to load the specification as modern browsers prevent from loading local files (due to security reasons). Try running pinion server -b -d <directory> with the directory containing the diagram.
