I am getting an error while trying to retrieve intra-day data as below: I have set BBG_ROOT in my user environment to point to the folder with the /markets folder containing the yaml files. xbbg version is 0.7.5

blp.bdib(ticker='ES1 Index', dt='2021-02-19').tail()

Can you remove all yaml files created by yourself and try again? I cannot replicate your error unfortunately

Hi. This didn't work. I also tried in virtual env with older versions of the package (0.7.2 and 0.6.6) and got the same error.

this works in auto-ci and my environments (production and virtual). not sure what exactly happened on your end. issues are not meant to help you debugging. if no one else has the same issue and no one offers help within a certain time, will close this issue.

thank you for checking. will post here if I find a solution.

this got fixed when I installed the latest version 0.7.6a3 from github. Thank you
