Error on torrent add: KeyError: 'create_subfolder_enabled'

[Tr4il]

Adding a torrent to my qbittorrent instance gives me the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/user/.autotorrent/bin/at2", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(cli())

The link does get made and the file is accessible there, but it does not get added to the client. I have the subfolder setting in qBittorrent set to "Original", if that matters? Thanks!

Without that option you cannot actually know where qBittorrent will download data when you add it. They didn't get around to adding the preference until around end of 2018.

Which version of qBittorrent are you running?

[Tr4il]

qBittorrent version 4.4.3.1, running the hotio docker container. I tested it with all three options in that setting, create subfolder, don't create subfolder and original. Getting the same error. I also tested a different torrent file, same error. verbose log:

Edit: Could it have something to do with the store path setting in the at2 config? I have it set like the following: store_path = "/mnt/unionfs/downloads/torrents/qbittorrent/seeding/{torrent_name}"

[JohnDoee]

It's not related to anything you do, it's about if torrents are saved to a folder with the same name as the torrent or not.

qBittorrent team modified how the option works without any warning and did not document it anywhere.

Autotorrent really needs to know where data is saved to make sure everything has the correct path. So I have to check how qBittorrent is configured.

[JohnDoee]

This should work now with all versions of qBittorrent I could get my hand on easily in 1.0.3.
