Notes
- If you do a git pull between reloads, need to restart anki
- The folder of the addon must not contain dashes or anything that wouldn't work in a normal import statement
- e.g. anki_LL, not anki-LL
- Without modification, if your addon creates an action item in the Anki Tools menu, reloading it will create a duplicate item for each reload.
- Solved with an
addon_reloader_beforemethod in the addon's __init__.py:-
for action in mw.form.menuTools.actions(): if action.text() == ADDON_ACTION_NAME: mw.form.menuTools.removeAction(action)
