AttributeError: 'SvgPathImage' object has no attribute 'mode'

[nabelekt]

I am just learning how to use this python module, so I may not be using it as intended, but it does seem like some error is not being handled appropriately. Here's my code:

import qrcode
import qrcode.image.svg

# Documentation: https://github.com/lincolnloop/python-qrcode
qr = qrcode.QRCode(
    version=None,  # Controls size of QR code
    error_correction=qrcode.constants.ERROR_CORRECT_M,  # Error correction level
    box_size=10,  # How many pixels per box
    border=4,  # Border size; min is 10 per spec
)

qr.add_data("something interesting")
qr.make(fit=True)

factory = factory = qrcode.image.svg.SvgPathImage
img = qr.make_image(image_factory=factory,
                    fill_color="black",
                    back_color="white",
                    module_drawer=qrcode.image.styles.moduledrawers.HorizontalBarsDrawer())

Here's the error I am getting:

Thanks!

Also getting the same error here when trying to follow the docs. Did you find a solution?

Looking at the code I use now, this is what I have:

...
    qr.add_data(data_string)
    qr.make(fit=True)

    img = qr.make_image(image_factory=StyledPilImage,
                        fill_color="black",
                        back_color="white",
                        # module_drawer=qrcode.image.styles.moduledrawers.GappedSquareModuleDrawer(),
                        module_drawer=qrcode.image.styles.moduledrawers.HorizontalBarsDrawer(),
                        embeded_image_path=path_to_logo_file)
...

Hope this helps.
