beet update cli ends with "TypeError: stat: path should be string, bytes, os.PathLike or integer, not NoneType"

[avma]

### Problem hi

when running beet update command, it ends with "TypeError: stat: path should be string, bytes, os.PathLike or integer, not NoneType" without actualy doing anything.

Running this command in verbose (-vv) mode: beet -vv update

$ beet -vv (... paste here ...)

Led to this problem:

pi@RASPI3-DELUGE:~ $  beet update
Traceback (most recent call last):

Hmm; that's strange! Does this happen for all files that you update, or does the command work if you target specific music? What does the output of beet ls -p look like? (Also, would you mind cleaning up the formatting of your configuration paste?)

[avma]

yes it happens for all files, or Specified folders. this is just a small part of it... ;)

another strange thing happening (i'm not sure it is related but assuming it is) is when i run the beet move cli, it dose not do anything either: pi@RASPI3-DELUGE:~ $ beet move /mnt/media/finished/lust error: No matching items found.

pi@RASPI3-DELUGE:~ $ cd /mnt/media/finished/lust pi@RASPI3-DELUGE:/mnt/media/finished/lust $

[sampsyo]

So, just to double check, this command leads to the same error?

$ beet update '/mnt/media/music/mymusic/Gabby Young & Other Animals/The Band Called Out for More/03. Walk Away.mp3'

About this:

pi@RASPI3-DELUGE:~ $ beet move /mnt/media/finished/lust
error: No matching items found.

It doesn't look like you have any music tracked in that directory, so this is to be expected.

[avma]

this used to work for me just fine a few days ago, i was moving folders around quit a bit.

actually there are music files and jpg s in that directory as you can see below:

pi@RASPI3-DELUGE:/mnt/media/finished/lust $ ls "01. On the Hook.mp3 03. She Treats Me Right.mp3 05. Slippin' Away.mp3 07. Nothing to Me.mp3 09. Ain't No Hoodoo.mp3 11. No White Horses.mp3 cover.jpg inside1.jpg

2. Gonna Make You Love Me.mp3 04. I Got Trouble.mp3 06. I Don't Know Nothing.mp3 08. Alone and Crying.mp3 10. Up Jumped the Devil.mp3 cd.jpg front.jpg inside2.jpg" pi@RASPI3-DELUGE:/mnt/media/finished/lust $

[sampsyo]

But beets doesn't know about them—hence the "no matching items found". You can try beet ls to check this.

Did you try the other command I mentioned above?

[avma]

yup...looks like it recognizes a single file but nut the entire library. pi@RASPI3-DELUGE:~ $ beet -vv update '/mnt/media/music/mymusic/Gabby Young & Other Animals/The Band Called Out for More/03. Walk Away.mp3' user configuration: /home/pi/.config/beets/config.yaml data directory: /home/pi/.config/beets plugin paths: Sending event: pluginload library database: /mnt/media/data/beets.blb library directory: /mnt/media/music/mymusic Sending event: library_opened skipping /mnt/media/music/mymusic/Gabby Young & Other Animals/The Band Called Out for More/03. Walk Away.mp3 because mtime is up to date (1490433969.0) Sending event: cli_exit pi@RASPI3-DELUGE:~ $

[sampsyo]

Sounds like there's a problem with a specific item then. Can you please find out which one? For example, you could use verbose mode to help indicate which file is being processed.

Also, you can format pasted terminal output correctly on GitHub by surrounding it in ```. (There are some examples in our issue template.)

[avma]

when running cli beet update '/mnt/media/music/mymusic/' the process completes successfully without any errors. but beet update (which worked for me in the past) still does not work (ends with the same error mentioned above). yea, and thanks for the format tip, i was struggling with it a bit...

[sampsyo]

OK—did you have a chance to check which file is causing the problem using verbose mode as I suggested in the previous comment?

[avma]

yes but non was actually causing a problem, with beet update '/mnt/media/music/mymusic/' update ended smoothly without any problems or errors, doing what was expected; moving, deleting updating and skipping stuff.

[avma]

it looks like running beet update (without '/mnt/media/music/mymusic/' ) does not recognise the path stated in the config.yaml file.

it is not such a big a problem, for i can always type the full path in the cli, its just being strange that it suddenly stopped doing it.

[sampsyo]

Running beet update affects all the music in your library. Running beet update /some/path only affects tracks under that path—it's a query that selects a subset of your library. So there's an offending track causing problems that's outside of that directory.

We can keep trying to narrow down the problem if you're interested, with that verbose run! Otherwise I'll close this issue.

[avma]

humm, this is strange, for i don't have any music on /mnt other than what resides under '/mnt/media/music/mymusic/' (about 200 sub folders with 2600 tracks).

i'll recheck maybe there is a hidden file/folder i am not aware of. anyway as i said before, this is not a biggie so go ahead and close this issue and thank you very much for all your help and the great job you are doing on beets it is a great media library management program and much more!

[sampsyo]

OK! I'll close it for now. But in case you want to dig farther, running in verbose mode will probably help.
