Prerequisites

• I have read FAQ
• I have searched existing issues (including closed ones)
• I use KiKit at least version 1.7.2 (older version are not supported)

KiKit version

1.7.2

KiCAD version (only KiCAD 8 and 9 are supported)

9.99 (nightly)

Operating system

kubuntu 24.04

Description

When trying to panelize the following happens, currently i'm using the nightly build
this is where i got stuck for now, maybe this has to do with some changes in kicad nightly?

PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/kicad-nightly/lib/python3/dist-packages/ kikit panelize --layout 'grid; rows: 2; cols: 2;' --tabs full --cuts vcuts --post 'millradius: 1mm' '/home/user/board.kicad_pcb' '/home/user/panel.kicad_pcb 'An error occurred: 'BOARD' object has no attribute 'GetItem'
No output files produced

Steps to Reproduce

run the command for some board file you have lying around, may need to add to LD_LIBARY_PATH the path of kicad-nightly libs

The KiCAD API is highly unstable until late in the development cycle. Trying to keep up with it is a waste of effort. We usually begin the adaptation of the changes in KiCAD 10 in December.
