[Errno 13] Don't have permission to open when opening bot #71

Closed xSLM closed 9 years ago

xSLM commented 9 years ago

On my computer i am an administrator and on checking the permissions i have read/write permissions and what not. When i tried opening this it says I don't have permission to open but I do and on checking it is not open in any other place on my computer. What do I do? Please Help!! This is my bot currently:

from TwitterFollowBot import TwitterBot

my_bot = TwitterBot('***\Documents\TwitterFollowBot-master\TwitterFollowBot-master') my_bot.auto_unfollow_all_followers()

rhiever commented 9 years ago

When you run this line:

my_bot = TwitterBot('***\Documents\TwitterFollowBot-master\TwitterFollowBot-master')

You're telling the bot that the config.txt is the directory TwitterFollowBot-master. You likely want to change that line to:

my_bot = TwitterBot('***\Documents\TwitterFollowBot-master\TwitterFollowBot-master\config.txt')

or wherever your config.txt file is located.

Thank You. That did fix that error, however i got this error i was actually getting before this. this is to do a value being out of the range of a list the text that came up is below:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\sam\Documents\TwitterFollowBot-master\TwitterFollowBot-master\mybot.py", line 4, in my_bot = TwitterBot('C:\Users\sam\Documents\TwitterFollowBot-master\TwitterFollowBot-master\config.txt') File "C:\Users\sam\Documents\TwitterFollowBot-master\TwitterFollowBot-master\TwitterFollowBotinit.py", line 42, in init self.bot_setup(config_file) File "C:\Users\sam\Documents\TwitterFollowBot-master\TwitterFollowBot-master\TwitterFollowBotinit.py", line 82, in bot_setup value = line[1].strip() IndexError: list index out of range

I have no clue why this is happening.

Please copy and paste your config.txt here. You should anonymize your API key entries when posting it here.

Are your keys on a separate line like that? If so, that's likely the issue. They should follow directly after the colon (:).

nope :/

rhiever commented 9 years ago

Well, the gist of what's happening is that it's trying to parse your config.txt and it expects every line to have a : in it. Maybe there's an empty line at the beginning or the end of the config file?

xSLM commented 9 years ago

nope :/ no line anywhere

xSLM commented 9 years ago

here is what my config file looks like: image

rhiever commented 9 years ago

Is the USERS_KEEP_FOLLOWING line missing a colon or is it just covered in that picture?

If that's not it, please email me your config.txt (exactly as it is, with your keys and everything) so I can reproduce the error.

xSLM commented 9 years ago

user_keep_following does have a colon. I will email you the file in question

Thanks for sending your file. I sent you back a working one. For folks looking for the solution to this in the future:
