No animations in this scene + Specified file not found

See original GitHub issue

Hello everyone, I’ve recently installed Manim and after playing a little on Eulertour, i decided to create my own scenes. I created a python file “bidule.py” in the main Manim folder with a “Test” scene inside but 2 problems occur :

  1. When I enter manim bidule.py Test -w in the terminal, it spits out : Media will be written to ./media\. You can change this behavior with the --media_dir flag. No animations in this scene Played 0 animations Which is unexpected onsidering my code (I’ll put it at the end)
  2. When I enter manim bidule.py Test -pl, it spits out :
Media will be written to ./media\. You can change this behavior with the --media_dir flag.
No animations in this scene
Played 0 animations



Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\users\tvasi\appdata\local\programs\python\python37-32\lib\site-packages\manimlib\extract_scene.py", line 151, in main
    open_file_if_needed(scene.file_writer, **config)
  File "c:\users\tvasi\appdata\local\programs\python\python37-32\lib\site-packages\manimlib\extract_scene.py", line 35, in open_file_if_needed
    os.startfile(file_path)
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] Le fichier spécifié est introuvable: 'C:\\Manim\\manim_12_2019\\videos\\bidule\\1440p60\\Test.mp4

I think I need to first create the video in order to read it, but from what i’ve managed to undestand, -pl also creates/edits the video file if I’m not wrong… So there is a real problem going on. Is there a problem with my packages or ffmpeg ? I don’t see where it is. I’ve seen other people struggling with similar problems, but their solutions did not work. Thanks in advance for your help. Here is my python file :

from manimlib.imports import *

class Test(Scene):
    def contruct(self):
        text = TextMobject(r"Bonjour, ceci est du \Latex")
        self.play(Write(text))
        self.wait()`

No problem. Just close this issue if there are no problems. There are way too many dead issues that haven’t been closed 😉

You’ve misspelled the word “construct” in the Test() class. It’s just a typo. Here’s your fixed code:

from manimlib.imports import *

class Test(Scene): def construct(self): text = TextMobject(r"Bonjour, ceci est du \Latex") self.play(Write(text)) self.wait()
