Pinion says kicad-cli not found

This message means that Pinion cannot locate KiCAD 9 or 10's command-line tool. Add kicad-cli to your PATH, or set KICAD_CLI to its executable path. 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 serve -b -d <directory> with the directory containing the diagram.
