Stop requiring $USER to be set #3356

Open scottpurdy opened 8 years ago

scottpurdy commented 8 years ago

Clients should not require the USER environment variable to be set in order to use NuPIC.

vitaly-krugl commented 8 years ago

@scottpurdy, some nupic config files reference USER env var, so it needs to be defined. For example:

vkruglikov@vitalys-mbp:~/nta/nupic (devops184-single-build-multi-tests)$ git grep USER | grep '\.xml'
examples/swarm/test_db.py:USER_CONFIG = "nupic-site.xml"
src/nupic/support/configuration_base.py:USER_CONFIG = "nupic-site.xml"
src/nupic/support/nupic-default.xml:  <value>${env.USER}</value>
src/nupic/swarming/hypersearch/support.py:USER_CONFIG = "nupic-site.xml"
tests/unit/nupic/support/conf/testFile1.xml:    <value>${env.USER}</value>
tests/unit/nupic/support/conf/testFile1.xml:    <value>The user ${env.USER} rocks!</value>
tests/unit/nupic/support/conf/testFile1.xml:    <value>User ${env.USER} and home ${env.HOME} in the middle</value>

And you would get an error like this if it wasn't set:

@scottpurdy, I think it was only an issue with our bamboo docker environment configuration. I don't recall ever running into this issue with linux, osx, and windows.

scottpurdy commented 8 years ago

I know we had to work around it in CI pre-Bamboo. Not sure which platforms required it. But it doesn't really matter as I see no reason why we should require any environment variables to be set.

marchezinixd commented 7 years ago

Hello,

I just ran the code 'import os import pprint

from nupic.swarming import permutations_runner from swarm_description import SWARM_DESCRIPTION'

and got the following error: Attempting to use the value of the environment variable 'USER', which is not defined in the line: 'from nupic.swarming import permutations_runner' also this warning show up: 'No handlers could be found for logger "com.numenta.nupic.tools.configuration_base" ' Thanks

rhyolight commented 7 years ago

@marchezinixd Thanks for the update. The quick fix is to set USER to your username:

export USER=yourusername

The 2nd error is a bit more concerning. I might suggest you post on HTM Forum about this.

marchezinixd commented 7 years ago

I was able to solve it setting the Variable, if anyone have the same problema on windows you should run:

setx USER your_computer_username

in my case was:

setx USER guilherme

Remember to run the terminal as admin, to restart the computer after the command and to put the username you are logged to run the code.

For the second error, it solved itself after solving the first.

Thanks @rhyolight for your help.
