[HOW] Import custom/external librarys

[N0cynym]

What do you want to achieve?

I would like to use all ERC and DRC tests which KiCad offers.

That's working local pretty well but if I use a remote server for my KiBot execution I end up with a different result.

If I create or use some custom/external symbol or footprint librarys in my project I end up with ERC and DRC fails while executing KiBot as docker image:

• lib_symbol_issues
  • The current configuration does not include the library 'xyz'
  • Symbol '123' not found in symbol library 'xyz'
• lib_footprint_issues
  • The current configuration does not include the library 'xyz'
  • Footprint '123' not found in library 'xyz'

Is there any idea or way of importing missing librarys or do I need to build my own KiBot docker?

You have various options:

• Add the libs to your repo, directly or using sub modules
• Download them in your workflow and make them available
• Just filter those errors on the workflow

Thanks @set-soft for your time to have a look into my issue.

• About the first option:
  • Don't we had kind of a bug with KiBot and Git submodules? 🤔
• About option two:
  • That sounds great!
  • Could you provide me the path I should download it into the docker?

From the point of view of KiBot there is no difference between a module and the main repo, so I don't think so

Use curl, is installed in the KiBot full/test images
