Manedit don't detect projects although the directory exists

Hey, it’s me again, sorry for opening so many issues in such a shot period of time! I’m still working on the same project, but this time I updated to manedit 0.3.4.

Unlike v0.3.3, it doesn’t find created projects in the main “Project Selection” page, but detects that a project already exists when we want to create a project with the same name.

Steps to reproduce:

• Code a project,
• manim --save_sections hsf.py,
• In manedit v0.3.4: create a project named for example HSF,
• Once the project is populated, you end up in the Project Selection page. On v0.3.3 you see HSF, but v0.3.4 says No project was found in the CWD; you can change the CWD or create a new project., (the directory HSF exists in the CWD),
• Go to create new project, name it HSF, you get: The project name 'HSF' points to a filled directory. If this is a project, you can open it instead.

Amazing! 😄 I tried and it works as expected.

Thanks for your reactivity and the explanation!

I managed to reproduce the problem and fixed it. Could you check v0.3.5 and see if it’s still there? Feel free to close the issue when everything is resolved.

And don’t sorry for opening many issues; this kind of feedback is exactly what I need. Thanks a lot again!

PS: If you’re interested in knowing what caused this: I’m using JSON Schema files to check if a project.json really belongs to a Manim Editor project. These schemas contain information on how the different fields in the JSON should look like. You can create these schema files from an example JSON, which I’ve done. The problem was that the duration of all sections in that example were integers. So the Schema set that as the type for the duration parameter. Your example has a float somewhere though, so it just refused to load.
