Make PMC into library Module. about portablemc

[mindstorm38]

You can! If you use the full library (either from pip install or if you can bundle files from the portablemc directory in the repository). Then you can use

import portablemc.cli
portablemc.cli.main(["argument0", ...])

@mindstorm38 can u give me the full example ? For example like: start farbic:1.17.1 jvm-args ...?
The arg is the same as the one using in console ?
I tried: portablemc.cli.main(["start farbic:1.17.1"])
ain't working

[mindstorm38]

Arguments are the same but you must separate arguments in the list, in your example this will be

portablemc.cli.main(["start", "fabric:1.17.1"])

Thanks, But I can't make the import work. I installed it using pip but still get an error.

[mindstorm38]

Hmmm what is the error?

[GoodDay360]

Sorry for the late reply(Had school). Here is what the error is. Seem like it can't find the fabric addons.

[intact]

Try to run portablemc.cli.main(["addon", "list"]) (you probably miss fabric addon).

If you run portablemc.cli.main(["addon", "dirs"]) you can see directories, where portablemc search for addons.

[GoodDay360]

C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\portablemc\addons (not existing)
Why it in AppData/Local ?
Anyway is there a way I can change the dirs to custom dir?

[mindstorm38]

Hi! Sry for the delay, add-ons can be currently placed in directories given by addon dirs sub command. It's not currently possible to change the add-on directories (excellent idea btw!), for now you can use a directory called addons next to you executable.

[mindstorm38]

I can add an environment variable like PMC_ADDONS_DIRS to allow users to add optional add-ons directories as you wish.

I close this issue, the PMC_ADDONS_PATH environment variable was added (in 2.0.4) and can solve you issue!
