Install issues

[annareinike]

Hey iopred, unfortunately I am experiencing some issues with the installation of Go on Mac OS X. I downloaded and installed the Go Package for Mac OS X here. Then I tried to follow your instructions.

• go get github.com/iopred/bruxism/cmd/bruxism If I hit enter the terminal jumps immediately to the next line with no response.
• go install github.com/iopred/bruxism/cmd/bruxism The same result as mentioned above. It jumps immediately to the next line.

Is it right that the terminal window doesn't give me any feedback if the installation works or if it's done?

• cd $GOPATH/bin The command works. It changes the directory to /bin

Apparently the next step bruxism -youtubeurl won't work because the terminal didn't seem to recognize the command bruxism. I guess the installation with your cmd package haven't worked properly otherwise the command bruxism should work right?

Do you have any idea? Thanks in advance.

[iopred]

You might need to do ./bruxism -youtubeurl ......

If you're in $GOPATH/bin, do ls and see if the bruxism command exists.

bruxism doesn't exist in the $GOPATH/bin folder.

[iopred]

hmm, that's weird, try:

go run github.com/iopred/bruxism/cmd/bruxism -youtubeurl ....

go run: no go files listed

[iopred]

Hmm, you'll need to be in $GOPATH to do that.

Do files exist in:

$GOPATH/src/github.com/iopred/bruxism?

If I'm trying to run your command go run github.com/iopred/bruxism/cmd/bruxism -youtubeurl in $GOPATH I get the same error as above.

Yes, files exist in $GOPATH/src/github.com/iopred/bruxism.

[iopred]

lol sorry!

go run github.com/iopred/bruxism/cmd/bruxism/main.go -youtubeurl ....

Don't get me wrong but shouldn't I be in the src folder to run that command? Because my $GOPATH variable is set to /Users/annareinike/go. But in the folder go isn't a github.com folder?

[iopred]

yup, sorry just spitballing here, I rarely use go run, sorry! I assumed it worked like install.

[annareinike]

No problem - I'm grateful you help me and finally I got a response that some files are missing.

[annareinike]

Even after some troubleshooting I wasn't able to get the bot working.

• Could not open avatars directory: open avatars: no such file or directory
• Could not open emoji directory: emoji/google open emoji/google: no such file or directory
• Could not open emoji directory: emoji/twitter open emoji/twitter: no such file or directory
• Could not open rooms directory: open rooms: no such file or directory
• Could not open characters directory: open characters: no such file or directory
• open youtubeoauth2config.json: no such file or directory

But why are those files are missing? Aren't these files part of the package I downloaded? Additionally the youtubeoauth2config.json is already in the users/annareinike/go/bin but I get the error anyway.

[iopred]

I guess it needs to run from bin/

The install command should be tried again I guess. I haven't tried with go run, sorry for the bad advice.

For the emoji read the readme in the emojiplugin dir.

The comic plugin needs a lot of data that I don't provide, that's why I dont include it in the master branch.

[annareinike]

Okay the emoji stuff is in the bin/emoji dir. Where do I download the comic plugin data?

So go install github.com/iopred/bruxism/cmd/bruxism again and then trying to run it out of the bin dir with go run github.com/iopred/bruxism/cmd/bruxism/main.go -youtubeurl?

[iopred]

The goal is to run the bruxism binary from $GOPATH/bin, where all the assets live.

go install is supposed to do that, but you can try: go build github.com/iopred/bruxism/cmd/bruxism and then check $GOPATH/bin for the bruxism binary.

Finally, the comic stuff is out of master because I don't maintain a public way to make it work, I really should remove it from the repo.

[annareinike]

In the $GOPATH/bin is a bruxism Unix executable file. I guess you meant this. But the main.go is in the src folder. So how I should run it out of $GOPATH/bin?

[iopred]

Yeah, now you can do ./bruxism from $GOPATH/bin

[annareinike]

That works with some errors: Could not open avatars directory: open avatars: no such file or directory Could not open rooms directory: open rooms: no such file or directory Could not open characters directory: open characters: no such file or directory

But I got the auth link which I paste into my browser and confirm. Now I run ./bruxism -youtubeauth 123 http://localhost:4242/youtube/callback?state=state&code=123 right?

[iopred]

Sorry, I have removed the comic plugin from master (I thought I had done it previously) doing: go get -u github.com/iopred/bruxism/cmd/bruxism will fix those last remaining warnings.

[annareinike]

Thank you so much. How does the bot work after I confirm the auth code with bruxism -youtubeauth <AUTH CODE>? Is it listening the livestream chat and if one of those messages it retrieves is a trigger command then it fires a predefined message?

[iopred]

If you're using this for YT, you should run the bot:

Now you're authed you can just do:

./bruxism -youtubechannelids <yourchannelid>

The bot will then respond to:

@<botname> <command>

Because my bots name is Septapus I usually test with:

@Septapus topstreamers

[annareinike]

But the YouTube API only allows me to get data from my own livestream right? So I have to do a livestream and then test the bot?

[iopred]

bruxism works fine as a chat bot in other peoples chats, as it only needs to read public messages, however it's recommended to give the bot moderation privileges so that it isn't rate limited.

The YouTube API flow you did allows bruxism to post messages as your account.

[annareinike]

Got it. Should I do an extra account for the bot or is it possible if I allow bruxism to post on the behalf of the streamer's account?

[iopred]

It's usually good to make an extra account, then you get to name it :)

PS. if you really just want Septapus and don't want the hassle of hosting it yourself, you can visit: youtube.septapus.com and invite it to your streams.

[annareinike]

Yeah thanks but at the moment my ambition is to host and configure it on my own. One of reasons why I promise myself not to use Nightbot ;). Seems that I have to stream to test the bot. What is the purpose of that livechat window in the Livechat Dashboard?

[iopred]

It's there so you can have one window open on another monitor so you can view chat and stream health etc.

[annareinike]

That makes sense - mostly used the live chat popup. Shouldn't the bot respond to my command in that live chat dashboard if I write for instance @annareinike topstreamers?

[iopred]

The bot is made to monitor channels, so it polls the streaming state of all the channel id's you provide every 5 minutes, it won't be able to find streams to join if they are not live. (unlisted won't work either sadly).

If you wanted to make code modifications, in main.go, right after bot.Open() you could call youtube.Join('videoid') and use your current stream now video id.

You get that video id from your offline stream now page, so for example mine: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGmC0A8mEAPdlELQdP9xJbw/live

Right click the player: copy video url: https://youtu.be/27jl9d1oc1g

You take the last bit, so the line of code would be:

youtube.Join('27jl9d1oc1g')

[annareinike]

Finally the bot works without any errors but the terminal window only outputs <videoid> annareinike: @annareinike topstreamers. But the chat didn't receive any answer from the bot?

[iopred]

annarenike is the account you oauthed?

You can also try @<botname> help or @<botname> info etc.

[annareinike]

Exactly. None of those commands worked for me. I only receive the messages. But doesn't that mean the oauth worked? Otherwise the bot coudn't listening right?

[iopred]

Yeah if the bot is seeing messages it should be able to respond to them. The only thing I can think is that you're spelling the bots name wrong, or maybe the bot's name has a space in it? (I've never tested that)

Easiest thing to do is to change the command prefix to !, change the following function in youtube.go

func (yt *YouTube) CommandPrefix() string {
    return fmt.Sprintf("@%s ", yt.UserName())
}

to:

func (yt *YouTube) CommandPrefix() string {
    return "!"
}

Then you can do !topstreamers or !help

[annareinike]

But the bots name is the oauthed accounts name isn't it? So I oauthed with the account ’annareinike’ it should be working with ’@annareinike !topstreamers’?

[iopred]

if you don't make the code modification: @annareinike topstreamers if you make the modification: !topstreamers

When you did the oauth flow, did you perhaps click on a different YT account?

The account could also be unable to comment I guess, if you sign in to that YT account, can you send messages?

[annareinike]

Alright. Hm do you know how those brand accounts behave in that case? Because I have a main account but without a YouTube channel and with that account I maintain the brand account which has a YouTube account.

[iopred]

Yeah, you need a YT account to send messages, my guess is you selected your main account when you oauthed, instead of your brand. Redo the original steps to generate a new auth key.

[annareinike]

Pretty sure I selected the right one but I'll give it a try. What is with the oauth credentials which I got from the Google Console? Are these independent from the YouTube accounts?

[iopred]

That's linked to your Google account, basically your account has a certain amount of Quota, but it doesn't restrict the accounts you can use. With those credentials, you could post on behalf of any account (if you convinced them to do the oauth flow)

[annareinike]

Now I selected the right account and change the command prefix to "!" but the bot doesn't respond. Man it's frustrating - you helped me out so much and it will not work.

[iopred]

In main.go you could try sending a message not tied to a command:

youtube.SendMessage('', 'message')

That should debug whether or not it's the command system.

You could also do:

fmt.Sprintf(youtube.UserName()) to make sure the bot is acting as the right account.

But if you're seeing messages in the console, I think it's something with your account.

[iopred]

(also try !help or !info)

[annareinike]

I pasted both code snippets after bot.Open() in main.go and nothing happened. fmt.Sprintf(youtube.UserName()) the bot should output its own username in the console right? Do you have a suggestion whats wrong with my account so I can't send messages?

[iopred]

Did the bots username print?

All I can think is that the account is being rate limited, so I would suggest triggering the command with a different account.

Other than that, I can't really explain why it's not posting, I could try post on that video with my own bot? Likely not tonight though sorry :(

[iopred]

Also sorry: fmt.Println(youtube.UserName()) is the right code, sorry again, remote debugging is hard as heck.

[annareinike]

No the username didn't print :( For explanation:

src/github.com/iopred/bruxism/cmd/bruxism/main.go

// Start all our services.
bot.Open()
youtube.SendMessage('<videoid>', 'test')
fmt.Println(youtube.UserName())

What do you mean with rate limited? I trigger the command with the streamers account so why am I limited? Yeah sure. Our time difference is about 10 hours so good night. Maybe I can contact you on Discord instead of spamming the comment section?

[bwmarrin]

@annareinike yeah, hop on Discord. There's a Go server and iopred and many others are there that can help get you going if you want. https://discord.gg/0f1SbxBZjYq9jLBk

[iopred]

Yeah join the discord would be right.

For the SendMessage thing, you need to actually send the message to the video:

youtube.SendMessage('oe34snthuoe', 'test')

As for rate limiting, if you're the owner of the video, then that is not the case.

[iopred]

Worked it out over Discord. Updated the README to reflect pain points we found setting up for YouTube.
