Bitfinex Credentials not working

[elikjwilliams]

I have created an api key. I gave it read and write with all the parameters except withdraw and I still am getting this error.

/home/user/zenbot/extensions/exchanges/bitfinex/exchange.js:202 throw new Error('please configure your Bitfinex credentials in ' + path.resolve(__dirname, 'conf.js')) ^

Error: please configure your Bitfinex credentials in /home/user/zenbot/extensions/exchanges/bitfinex/conf.js at wsClient (/home/user/zenbot/extensions/exchanges/bitfinex/exchange.js:202:15) at Object.getBalance (/home/user/zenbot/extensions/exchanges/bitfinex/exchange.js:321:25) at Object.syncBalance (/home/user/zenbot/lib/engine.js:177:18) at Object.

Any help here?

[nedievas]

where did you put these credentials?

[elikjwilliams]

In the config file.

[elikjwilliams]

config file: c.bitfinex.key = 'mykey' c.bitfinex.secret = 'mysecret'

[nedievas]

where is it located? and how is it called?

[elikjwilliams]

it is located in the main zenbot folder. I call it through the command line as follows:

zenbot trade bitfinex.OMG-BTC --config conf22.js --strategy rsi --reset_profit

Do I need to move the config file elsewhere? It works for Gdax.

[elikjwilliams]

/home/user/zenbot/conf22.js

[nedievas]

is the structure of your custom config correct?

[elikjwilliams]

Yes. The same config works for GDax. It's just not working for bitfinex. I'm assuming it is something with the websockets. I just couldn't figure it out.

[nedievas]

paste your config here (!!! WITHOUT KEYS!!!). I'll try.

I manually set c.bitfinex.key and c.bitfinex.secret in bitfinex's exchange.js. That has fixed my issue. exchange.js for bitfinex is not grabbing the data from the config. Looks like a bug

[elikjwilliams]

@DeviaVir This looks like a valid bug. Dont think the question label should be set here.

[nedievas]

@elikjwilliams Sorry, but it's your bug!

Your command: zenbot trade bitfinex.OMG-BTC --config conf22.js --strategy rsi --reset_profit

Correct command: zenbot trade bitfinex.OMG-BTC --conf conf22.js --strategy rsi --reset_profit

Find only one difference!

Thanks.

I get the same error. This is my command:

zenbot trade bitfinex.BTC-USD --conf conf-bitfinex.js --reset_profit

API Key & Secret are redacted, the error is with the correct ones. If placing them directly in

zenbot/extensions/exchanges/bitfinex/exchange.js where the error is thrown it works.

This is my config

It has the same behaviour if using gdax also.

If I copy conf-bitfinex.js over conf.js and run the command without --conf it works.

My impression is that the custom config gets overwritten.
