Blender Extensions

Directory Layout

./blender_addon/bl_pkg/cli/

The stand-alone command line utility to manage extensions.

./blender_addon/bl_pkg/

The Blender add-on which wraps the command line utility (abstracts details of interacting with the package manager & repositories).

./tests/

Automated tests.

To run tests via the Makefile.

Test the command line application.

make test PYTHON_BIN=/path/to/bin/python3.11

If your system Python is v3.11 or newer you may omit PYTHON_BIN.

make test_blender BLENDER_BIN=/path/to/blender

This GUI is work-in-progress, currently it’s been made to work with an un-modified Blender 4.0.

Link blender_addon/bl_pkg into your add-ons directly.
Enable the blender extensions add-on from Blender.
Enable the blender extensions checkbox in the add-ons preference (this is a temporary location).
Repositories can be added/removed from the “Files” section in the preferences.

Some useful hints.

When developing the command line interface, these tests can be setup to run on file-change, run:

make watch_test

To run Blender tests.

make watch_test_blender BLENDER_BIN=/path/to/blender
