Description
From Roden:
Hi Zach,
This is just to report a side effect for later reference if ever encountered by you--no fixing is needed. The editable mode has a side effect. When I right-click within the tool's panel, e.g., to access its Help, it fails. The ultimate reason is if installed in the editable mode, the tool is not in session.toolshed._installed_packages, which causes this line to fail. I am using XML for metadata. This error is not triggered if installed in normal mode.
Best,
Roden

See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Probably only affects external bundles; since ChimeraX's help files are built in and out of bundle trees, e.g. blastprotein's still works.
