Problem authenticating with Remember The Milk #19

Open Moyners-github opened 5 years ago

Moyners-github commented 5 years ago

Hello, I’m pretty new to this. I hope this is the right place to ask questions like this.

I’m running Mycroft on Ubuntu and I’m looking for some help with getting The Cows List to work.

I’ve got as far as getting the API and secret, I’ve added them on the Configure Your Skills page of home.mycroft.ai

On requesting Mycroft to authenticate with remember the milk I get the reply “I could not read the configuration. Please edit mycroft dot config or update the configuration on home dot mycroft dot a, i”

I’ve looked at the mycroft.conf file that i found in mycroft-core/mycroft/configuration and attempted to add the section mentioned in the github page about entering the API and secret there. This hasn’t had any effect. On asking Mycroft to update the config I’m told there were no changes so I’m not convinced I’ve even found the right .conf file.

I should mention that I did first try installing this skill on a different PC several months ago (back in January), when I got further and did get the email with a link to click on before asking Mycroft for a token. (I don’t remember if i successfully got the token, or got any further at that time - I had to scrap that PC almost straight away).

I don’t know whether I should be aiming a request like this here as the issues I see being answered seem far more technical than simple installation and configuration hiccoughs).

Many thanks in advance Paul.

Hi

It sounds like the problem has more to do with Mycroft configuration not being updated, than with the cows lists. The response you get is because the cows lists do not get its configuration.

I assume that Mycroft is paired. When you update the configuration on Mycroft home, it may take some time for it to be available locally. You can try to say "Hey Mycroft, update the configuration" to force an update. You could also try to restart Mycroft after the cows lists was installed, and mycroft home was updated. If you try to configure manually, you should make the change in ~/.mycroft/mycroft.conf

I hope that helps.

Regards Carsten

Thanks for your reply. I have just found that the cows list skill seems to be installed twice and msm isn't letting me remove either or both.

I think I'm going to wipe this install of Mycroft and start again, but that won't be until tomorrow (do you think that the double install environment would be of any interest to you as the developer or Mycroft folks at all?)

Regards Paul

Hi

Personally I use Docker when I need multiple environments, but I can't answer for the Mycroft community as a whole :)

Just had this from someone on the Mycroft team on their forum:

"I’ve just had a play with this and found the same issue. It looks like a little bug that’s been introduced with our backend upgrade last week. This is causing some Skill settings not to be pulled down in full. The team are working on it now.

It’s possible to manually inject these credentials in but it’s a messy hack and would need to be undone the moment there is an update, so best to wait for the backend fix if you can.

Appreciate your patience while we sort this out [image: :slight_smile:]"
