Code Update Issue

[patem2]

Hi,

I'm not sure if there is an issue or if this is something local, but when I try to update when prompted I'm getting the following error:

Update available. Do you want to update? Y/N y From https://github.com/4A47/rpscrape

• branch master -> FETCH_HEAD error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge: README.md scripts/utils/update.py Please commit your changes or stash them before you merge. Aborting Updating 64b1d91..3dde2bc

I haven't made any changes to the README.md file or the update file?

Hopefully it's nothing I'm doing :-)

Can you paste the output of git statusand git diff just for reference.

Then from the main rpscrape folder try git checkout README.md scripts/utils/update.py and then run rpscrape again.

When I tried to run the script again its highlighting the Windows root folder issue:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "rpscrape.py", line 147, in main() File "rpscrape.py", line 106, in main check_for_update() File "rpscrape.py", line 24, in check_for_update update = Update() File "C:\Users\markp\rpscrape\scripts\utils\update.py", line 8, in init self.root_dir = Path.cwd().split('/utils')[0] AttributeError: 'WindowsPath' object has no attribute 'split'

Probably best to just delete the folder and clone again. Move anything you want to keep temporarily and put it back after cloning.

[patem2]

Thanks mate I’ll try that! 😃

[patem2]

All sorted bud :-)

Do I need to do something specific on the user_settings TOML file as when scraping it seems to be picking up the standard fields?

[joenano]

By default all the usual data is scraped, the user_settings is just for some extra fields that were requested, and it enables people to get the exact data that they want. You can set the fields to true or false and change the order, and that will be reflected in the csv.

[patem2]

Thanks for the note, I’m not sure the updated settings are being picked up as I’ve tried to change both files and it’s not being picked up e.g. raceID, horseID etc?

The CSV saved seems to be the default setting when it writes the file (both TOML files have been opened in notepad, adjusted and saved).

Note this is using the command GB 2021 flat as an example.

you shouldnt change the default_settings file as it will be overwritten on any update, its meant as a backup
