Error opening database directory #64

Closed mehdideveloper closed 7 years ago

mehdideveloper commented 7 years ago

Hi @kpreid Whenever I install shinysdr for the first time on a system, it gives this error in the log:

INFO:shinysdr:dbs/: Error opening database directory: OSError(2, 'No such file or directory')

I have to copy the folder "dbs" from "./shinysdr/data" to "." (root folder of shinysdr) to solve the problem

I am confused about why it is opening 'dbs/'. The default config-relative directory for databases is dbs-read-only/. What version (git commit id) of ShinySDR is this? What are the contents of your config file?

I was using the "240a39970f10f3c47e8762f610587f7834acf4f2" (the latest version before your yesterday's commits) Oh, I found what's wrong! I have this line in my config which is obviously what I'm experiencing:

config.databases.add_directory('dbs/')

Thank you @kpreid

Thanks for the followup. That line used to be in the default config before I switched to the 'config directory' scheme, and in fact everyone would get that message. The intent was that you would make that directory if you need it, but I admit 'IOError' isn't a particularly friendly thing to say there.

Now, dbs-read-only/ is checked only if it exists, and also created automatically as a hint that you can put things there.
