installled the latest qlib on 18.5.351 (had the mistake before as well). Done it via packages.
Each time I start HOU I get an
Error while parsing a menu definition file 'E:/GITHUB/qLib/NetworkViewMenu.xml': Cannot find element 'help_menu' needed for ordering of 'qLib_network_view_menu'.error message. Canot figure out whats wrong.
My json file:
{
"path": "E:/GITHUB/qLib",
"env": [
{
"QLIB": "E:/GITHUB/qLib",
},
{
"QOTL": "$QLIB/otls",
},
{
"HOUDINI_OTLSCAN_PATH": "$QOTL/base;$QOTL/future;$QOTL/experimental;$HOUDINI_OTLSCAN_PATH",
},
{
"HOUDINI_PATH": "$QLIB;&",
},
],

}
Any Ideas? Maybe my understanding of integrating some stuff via json files is wrong but I have a lot of stuff wich all are integrated with this json sheme as above... so?

There was a regression in packages that have been fixed in build 18.5.415.

same problem while getting Arnold and Renderman to play along together, If one of them is on then all packages load correctly but if both are present then Hell ensues with alot of errors.

Still having an issue with this with H19. Everything works fine until I involve my Renderman package.

Error while parsing a menu definition file
'D:/prefs/houdini/plugins/qLib/MainMenuCommon.xml':
Cannot find element 'help_menu' needed for ordering of 'qLib_menu'.
Cannot find element 'export_files' needed for ordering of 'file_menu_sep_ql_recover'.
Cannot find element 'saveastype_strip' needed for ordering of 'file_menu_sep_ql_save_pre'.
Error while parsing a menu definition file
'D:/prefs/houdini/plugins/qLib/NetworkViewMenu.xml':
Cannot find element 'help_menu' needed for ordering of 'qLib_network_view_menu'.

I can see that I could control load order if that helps but think i then need to put everything in one package file, which Id rather not.

2 year old bump, we still have this issue (is it a qLib issue? I'll ask )
