Configparser error

[firasm]

I just tried running md2canvas, but I ran into an error:

The command I ran was:

md2canvas -t <RedactedCanvasToken> -c 45445 ~/Sync/Teaching/utilities/md2canvas/examples/sample_quiz/SampleQuiz.md

The error I got was:

Haven't had a chance to debug this yet... let me know if you have any ideas.

What OS are you on? I have only tested on Windows.

You didn't provide the program a Canvas URL, so it tried to check the settings (md2canvas/config.ini) but didn't find a section called settings. I just tried cloning and running it fresh and didn't get this (even without supplying a URL).

I'm on macOS 10.15.6.

Ah, missing -u flag was my bad! New error now.

Do I need to have the quiz created already in Canvas with the same name?

It should be able to create an entirely new quiz. It will only attempt to update an existing quiz if you give it a quiz ID. It looks like it failed to get the course, are you sure that the course ID you used is correct?

[firasm]

Hmm - yea, looks correct to me (screenshot below): 45445

[marasolen]

Oops I missed it in your previous comment, the URL shouldn't include the course, just https://canvas.ubc.ca

[firasm]

aha! That worked!!

Thank you, I will update my instructions in #9
