Constantly have to pull character skills for every fit and on each startup. #2806
Description
Since the last update, pyfa is not loading stored character skills.
Here I have a cruor and a magus open. You can see that I apparently cannot fly either, even though I can. I've had no issues with this before. These fits were fine as of just moments ago.
Here I hit to refresh skills on the cruor fit, and it's back to having properly loaded skills:
Here is the magus fit after having done this - still doesn't fit:
And here it is after I refresh skills on the magus tab:
After loading skills, I open a new unopened fit that presumably hasn't loaded the local old skill profile, and everything is fine:
So either the local skill profiles are not loading correctly, or they are not being saved.
Additionally - doing a character skills refresh should update all open fits that are using that profile.

Same issue. There's a successful pull from EVE sso to permanently load skills, and pyfa gives me an error.
I constantly have to scroll to bottom of character selection and select "open character editor" or whatever it is, select the character - "get skills" from tranquility.

Same problem here.
I analyzed the
saveddata.dbfile in%USERPROFILE%\.pyfa\and completely reset the database to rule out any corruption or legacy data.After starting Pyfa with a fresh database, I added a character and successfully pulled its skills from ESI.
However, after quitting Pyfa and checking the database again, I found the following:
characterstable, the newly added character is present, with ID3.characterSkillstable, there are only entries for character IDs1and2, which are the defaultAll5andAll0characters.characterSkillsentries at all for character ID3.So it appears that Pyfa successfully retrieves the character's skills from ESI, but never writes those skills to the
characterSkillstable.This also explains why the skills have to be pulled again after changing characters or restarting Pyfa: the character itself is persisted, but its skill profile is not.

I will look into it before making next release. It's either new dependencies, or ESI endpoint changes I completely overlooked.
edit: just reproduced it. Seems like it is caused by SQLAlchemy migration

Fixed in 16313f2.
I will try to make another release with this bug fixed shortly. But, as part of that release, I also want to move pyfa CI from appveyor to github actions, to support Apple Silicon, so it will take a few days at least. If you need an early version, it will be available here once commit with the fix is built: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/pyfa-org/pyfa/builds/54852636 (artifacts tab, but there is 1GB daily download limit there).

What do you have to do to update them?
As far as I understand, it might need you to open appropriate tab of every fit involved in graph window. This applies to any indirect change. However, it sounds like this case is different.

Should be fixed in the release I will publish today
