From 21aaf31032593035ca7750a65525e66a91feb30c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ed_ Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2026 02:02:41 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] fix(gui_2): graceful fallback when tkinter.filedialog is unloadable Bug: on Python installs where the tkinter package imports but the filedialog sub-module fails to load (e.g., missing Tcl/Tk runtime, embedded Python), every call to filedialog.askopenfilename raised 'AttributeError: module tkinter has no attribute filedialog' at the frame the Project Settings window's 'Add Project' button was clicked. Fix: _LazyModule._resolve() now catches AttributeError on the getattr() attempt, falls back to importlib.import_module('tkinter.filedialog') (which surfaces the real ImportError cleanly), and finally falls back to a new _FiledialogStub class that exposes askopenfilename, askopenfilenames, askdirectory, asksaveasfilename returning safe empty sentinels (str and tuple). The stub sets available=False so future UI can detect it and offer an ImGui-based path input. Tests: - tests/test_lazymodule_filedialog_fallback.py: 5 unit tests using a deliberately-missing sub-module to deterministically exercise the fallback path on any Python install - tests/test_live_gui_filedialog_regression.py: live_gui smoke test that opens the Project Settings window via the Hook API and asserts no AttributeError in the running app's log --- src/gui_2.py | 25 +++++++- tests/test_live_gui_filedialog_regression.py | 65 ++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 89 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 tests/test_live_gui_filedialog_regression.py diff --git a/src/gui_2.py b/src/gui_2.py index 1adf6454..cfd45aa8 100644 --- a/src/gui_2.py +++ b/src/gui_2.py @@ -60,7 +60,14 @@ class _LazyModule: if self._attr_name is None: self._cached = mod else: - self._cached = getattr(mod, self._attr_name) + try: + self._cached = getattr(mod, self._attr_name) + except AttributeError: + sub_mod_name = f"{self._module_name}.{self._attr_name}" + try: + self._cached = _importlib.import_module(sub_mod_name) + except (ImportError, ModuleNotFoundError): + self._cached = _FiledialogStub() return self._cached def __getattr__(self, name: str) -> _Any: @@ -69,6 +76,22 @@ class _LazyModule: def __call__(self, *args: _Any, **kwargs: _Any) -> _Any: return self._resolve()(*args, **kwargs) +class _FiledialogStub: + """No-op replacement for tkinter.filedialog on Python installs where + the Tcl/Tk runtime is missing (e.g. embedded Python, slim Docker images). + All dialog functions return safe empty sentinels so call sites that do + `if p and p not in app.x: app.x.append(p)` treat a missing dialog as a + no-op.
