Running the Web Application

[KartikKannapur]

I cloned the repository and installed all the requirements, as mentioned in the documenation.

But when I ran 'python recorder.py', it threw the following error:

File "PATH\OpenXC_Vehicle_Simulator\web-logging-example\logconfig\logconfig.py", line 82, in initialize_logging
    'address': syslog_device,
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'syslog_device' referenced before assignment.

The command 'fab runserver', fails at the same point as well.

I had the same experience. Is this project still supported?

This project is intended as a proof of concept, so it's not exactly maintained. The error mentioned should be a quick fix - the logging config is assuming your machine will either have /dev/log or /var/run/syslog:

    if os.path.exists('/dev/log'):
        syslog_device = '/dev/log'
    elif os.path.exists('/var/run/syslog'):
        syslog_device = '/var/run/syslog'

but if you are on Windows (or possibly OS X?) neither device may exist. Two recommendations:

• Delete the syslog handler, since it's likely overkill anyway
• Refactor the syslog handler so it's only created if a valid syslog device path is found

Thank you @peplin I'll try and keep you updated.
