Wasp Plug in ISSUES


Hi everybody! I’m new on this platform and also to Grasshopper programme.


I’ve tried to install the Plug-in “WASP” and followed both the video tutorial and the installation text available inside the downloaded folder.
Unfortunately it still gives me this message: 1. Cannot import Wasp. Is the wasp folder available in C:\Users\Utente\AppData\Roaming\Grasshopper\Libraries? ; and even if I’ve tried to put a less recent version of the plug in, It still doens’t work.

I hope someone about the community might be helping me with this issue.

Thank you in advance!

Welcome @Tecla,

You seem to have installed Wasp the right way.

In your second screenshot, your path is C:\Utenti\Utente\AppData\Roaming\Grasshopper\Libraries, whereas Wasp seems to be looking in C:\Users\Utente\AppData\Roaming\Grasshopper\Libraries, so it could potentially be a bug that has to do with OS localization.

What do you think, @ar0551?

stupid question :slight_smile: did you unblock the zip file before extracting its content?

Yes, and I’ve also checked every single file to be unlocked

as I imagined :slight_smile: I had to ask… :slight_smile:

I have just reinstalled wasp from scratch using the last version available on github: v5.004
and it works without any problem in my machine

but there’s something weird:

this is your screenshot of that folder:

this is mine:

why is there a wasp.py file inside yours? :slight_smile: and the size is very different?

maybe was there a previous installation of wasp that was merged inside the very same folder?

I would delete the wasp folder entirely and redo the whole process from this source, it worked for me :slight_smile:


Thanks for your help!
I’ve just followed your advices as you can see in the pics but still having the same issues!

this is SO WEIRD :slight_smile:

there’s an option to add custom Libraries folders to GH, in such a way GH will look in this places for additional plugins… it’s through the Rhino command line GrasshopperDeveloperSettings

I would try to do some weird experiments like putting your wasp folder in C: and using GrasshopperDeveloperSettings to add just that one folder C:\wasp to the list

if it works, then the problem might be related to the Users/Utenti folder name?
but it’s odd because I also have windows in Italian and Rhino in English, and I’ve never experienced that kind of problem…

[edit] are you on Rhino 7?

Uhm, this is very strange, and might indeed have something to do with the paths not being somehow set correctly when language is changed. I think the easiest would be for me to take a look. Just send me an email at ghwasp@gmail.com, and we can try to fix the issue.

Hello, everyone :wave:

Just found out I have the same problem.

Do you have any clue as to why this might be?

Thank you
