[botss23]

Hi, can you solve the books section error? raise Exception(f'The book "{book}" is not defined in the books section.') Exception: The book "./Perfect2022.bin" is not defined in the books section.

[Torom]

Please try to follow the Readme. If you still have trouble to set it up correctly it would be helpful if you post your config. Please remove the token before you post it here.

[botss23]

I have followed the readme , i have even set the book path , the problem vanished but has returned after 2 games.

[botss23]

should i copy my config and paste it here?

[Torom]

Yes this would be helpful.

[botss23]

ah sorry for this , not to good with edit

[Torom]

Change the entry under standard to "ProDeo.bin"

[botss23]

yes i have

[Torom]

Not in the config you posted. Change - "./engines/Pro.bin" to - "ProDeo.bin"

[botss23]

yes i did

[botss23]

raise Exception(f'The book "{book}" is not defined in the books section.') Exception: The book "Prodeo.bin" is not defined in the books section.

still getting it

[botss23]

tried again , still gettin it

[Torom]

You wrote Prodeo.bin but you name the book ProDeo.bin. This is case sensitive.

[botss23]

ah , thats resolved but here comes new one if not os.path.isfile(CONFIG['books'][book]): TypeError: string indices must be integers

[botss23]

im sorry because i have not much python knowledge

[Torom]

No it's fine. Can you post the complete error message you get?

[botss23]

[Torom]

Ah I have a idea what happened. Can you again post your config please. You can format it with a code block for better readability.

The - betweenProDeo.bin: and "ProDeo.bin" in the books section is the problem. Replace it with a whitespace.
