config.ini ignored

[LorisSchmit]

Hi, for some reason my config.ini file is being ignored. I tried adding different configs like the format of the output directory or the Google Photos Plugin, but no change seems to have an effect. I installed elodie in an conda environment, maybe that is causing issues? After I renamed the config.ini-sample to config.ini and left it there in the elodie directory.

What could cause this? Running /.elodie.py import works perfectly.

Thanks for your help!

Can you share more information about your directory structure and where your config.ini file is located as well as the contents of config.ini (removing any sensitive information)?

I figured it out, I didn't install elodie in my home directory and I didn't define the environment variable ELODIE_APPLICATION_DIRECTORY. The config.ini is detected now, however I still have a problem with the Google Photos plugin. When I run /.elodie.py batch --debug the output is Called batch() for GooglePhotos but my browser does not open and there is also no API call in the Google cloud console. While creating the OAuth client ID in the Google Cloud Console, there wasn't an other for the application type so I chose Desktop app, not sure if this is an issue?

This is the content of my config.ini:

[Directory]
location=%city, %state
month=%m
year=%Y
full_path=%year/%month

[Plugins]
plugins=GooglePhotos

[PluginGooglePhotos]
secrets_file=/full/path/to/my/home/src/elodie/client_secret.json
auth_file=/full/path/to/my/home/src/elodie/credentials/auth_file.json

Now the debug output when running ./elodie.py batch --debugis:

{"GooglePhotos": "Could not initialize session"}
{"GooglePhotos": "/path/to/image failed to upload."}
Called batch() for GooglePhotos

You may need to add some log messages in https://github.com/jmathai/elodie/blob/master/elodie/plugins/googlephotos/googlephotos.py.

The message Could not initialize session is from the google photos library which would seem to indicate that it's somewhere in set_session().

I figured it out! I hadn't properly defined the location of the secret file... Everything works perfectly now. Thanks for the hints and kudos for the good work!
