Won't block my sites at specified time #20

Thank you for making this!

Problem: I followed the installation instructions, but at the specified time, I can still access my blocked sites

My settings are this:

{ "username": "MY_USERNAME", "selfcontrol-path": "/Applications/SelfControl.app", "host-blacklist": [ "twitter.com", "reddit.com" ], "block-schedules":[ { "weekday": 1, "start-hour": 17, "start-minute": 0, "end-hour": 17, "end-minute": 2 }, { "weekday": 1, "start-hour": 17, "start-minute": 4, "end-hour": 17, "end-minute": 6 }, ] }

when i install the python file, i get this:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "auto-selfcontrol.py", line 10, in from Foundation import NSUserDefaults, CFPreferencesSetAppValue, CFPreferencesAppSynchronize, NSDate File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC/Foundation/init.py", line 8, in import objc File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC/objc/init.py", line 28, in from objc._bridgesupport import * File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC/objc/_bridgesupport.py", line 13, in import pkg_resources File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 72, in import packaging.requirements File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/packaging/requirements.py", line 59, in MARKER_EXPR = originalTextFor(MARKER_EXPR())("marker") TypeError: call() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)

Notice that it ends in an error - maybe that is a reason why?

Did you use the following command to install Auto-SelfControl: sudo /usr/bin/python auto-selfcontrol.py

Or did you use a custom python version?

Hey Andreas - i just used your instructions - i.e. sudo /usr/bin/python auto-selfcontrol.py

andreasgrill commented 7 years ago

Could you tell me what OSX version you are using?

username1761 commented 7 years ago

OSX Yosemite Version 10.10

@username1761 Didn't you simply forget to set your username in: "username": "MY_USERNAME",?

You can find your Mac OS username by opening terminal.app and typing whoami or just by looking at the name of your home folder.

thanks a lot dude - you're right, i missed the username.

I put that in correctly, and it still doesn't work.

When i install the python file, i get this:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "auto-selfcontrol.py", line 10, in from Foundation import NSUserDefaults, CFPreferencesSetAppValue, CFPreferencesAppSynchronize, NSDate File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC/Foundation/init.py", line 8, in import objc File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC/objc/init.py", line 28, in from objc._bridgesupport import * File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC/objc/_bridgesupport.py", line 13, in import pkg_resources File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 72, in import packaging.requirements File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/packaging/requirements.py", line 59, in MARKER_EXPR = originalTextFor(MARKER_EXPR())("marker") TypeError: call() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)

Here's what my config looks like now:

{ "username": "djzcomputer1", "selfcontrol-path": "/Applications/SelfControl.app", "host-blacklist": [ "twitter.com", "reddit.com", "facebook.com" ], "block-schedules":[ { "weekday": 1, "start-hour": 17, "start-minute": 15, "end-hour": 17, "end-minute": 16 }, { "weekday": 2, "start-hour": 17, "start-minute": 0, "end-hour": 17, "end-minute": 3 }, { "weekday": 3, "start-hour": 8, "start-minute": 0, "end-hour": 17, "end-minute": 0 }, { "weekday": 4, "start-hour": 8, "start-minute": 0, "end-hour": 17, "end-minute": 0 }, { "weekday": 5, "start-hour": 8, "start-minute": 0, "end-hour": 17, "end-minute": 0 }, { "weekday": 6, "start-hour": 8, "start-minute": 0, "end-hour": 17, "end-minute": 0 }, { "weekday": 7, "start-hour": 8, "start-minute": 0, "end-hour": 17, "end-minute": 0 } ] }

Did you already try this from the troobleshooting section in README.md? :

ImportError: No module named Foundation

If you've installed Python using HomeBrew, you'll need to run Auto-SelfControl with the original Python installation from OS X:

sudo /usr/bin/python auto-selfcontrol.py There are also other options, including installing pyobjc on your brewed Python (pip install pyobjc). See this thread for alternative solutions.
