Offline installation xlreadwrite module failed

Tools Atoms packages
1

Hi ,

On an offline machine I tried to install the xlreadwrite module (previously downloaded from ATOMS website: https://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/xlreadwrite/1.2.4/files/xlreadwrite-1.2.4-3.bin.zip bin files for 2024.0.x . : atomsInstall(“path\xlreadwrite-1.2.4-3.bin.zip”) fails with an error at atomsDescriptionget step .
Manually I can load or build and load successfully the module , and further use is ok. idem from module’s source archive.
Did anyone experience similar behaviour? find a patch ?
Thank you,

David

Hello,

I have same issue with 2025.1.0 and 2025.0.0, same module.
In my case, when I specify file, ATOMS tries to connect to online repository.
When I switch off connection to force usage of file, I get this error:

==========================
atomsDownload: Error while opening the URL https://atoms.scilab.org/2025.1/TOOLBOXES/64/windows.gz.
atomsDownload: The following file hasn’t been downloaded:
- URL : REMOVED
- Local location : REMOVED

All ATOMS repositories scan failed.

Is there any bypass?
Should I report bug?

Thanks

PS: I have to remove links from error (marked REMOVED), as a new user I can introduce just 2 links in my post.

Hello,

I jut tested the local installation of xlreadwrite with Scilab-2025.1.0 (Windows), and everything seems OK this morning:

--> atomsSetConfig offLine true

 ans = 

   1.

--> atomsInstall xlreadwrite-1.2.4.bin.2025.zip
WARNING: Option offline of ATOMS configuration is set to True. atomsSystemUpdate did not check the latest modules availables.

 ans = [1x5 string]

         column 1 to 4

  "xlreadwrite"  "1.2.4"  "user"  "SCIHOME\atoms\x64\xlreadwrite\1.2.4"

         column 5

Hello,

many thanks, introducing atomsSetConfig offline solve the issue.

Opening a bug report on gitlab.

There is no issue to open, as local installation of packages has always needed offLine mode.

I checked atomsInstalll help and this is not mentioned anywhere.
From help I understand, that specify the file path will install module from that file.

If you check Example 2, there is written As well as installing modules from the central repository, you can also install modules directly from your own machine.

IMO clarifying this in help will solve the issue.
