;repository download dependency.lic failing

[robbintt]

I've set this up on a linux machine and connected a custom python client doing normal client stuff.

lich is currently living in /root/clones/lich/ and being run as root -- it's a single purpose machine, probably will be dockerized eventually...

pylanthia.py, the client, is running as a user.

I'm running into a strange issue:

> ;repository download dependency.lic
--- Lich: repository active.
[repository: error: file not found]
--- Lich: repository has exited.

[robbintt]

I tried re-extracting the lich zip and got the same thing.

[Sarvatt]

you're running a client as a user in a root owned directory it can't write to? it can't even create the database of scripts in lich.db3

[robbintt]

I tested running the client as root and it didn't have any effect.

I also think the lich process would be the one writing to the lich scripts directory, and the error doesn't reflect that (although the error is pretty low information).

[jandersson]

Just spitballing here, but it might be related to which repository... ;repository is checking. Try specifying --game=DR

[robbintt]

Manually specifying that helps some detection stuff, for example links works.

However, the original info in this ticket is still the same.

Maybe it is an authentication issue against the lich servers?

Do you know how lich goes about authenticating and pulling down new data?

I can say for certain that lich.rbw gets replaced every time I run it. I comment out the line that pulls in the the gtk gem, around line 600, and it gets uncommented whenever I run lich.

Interestingly, dependency.lic is not in ;repository list

Odd, Someone else can upload a new version of dependency if they want. Maybe because I haven't logged into lich in so long it poofed since it was under my control? Someone could have deleted it if I lost authorship as well. I mean downloading it via dependency is identical to just downloading it from git, it's just simpler for most users and reduces the risk of naming the file incorrectly or messing up line endings or a myriad of other copy and paste errors that can arise.

[robbintt]

I manually added dependency.lic to the scripts directory and ran it. I think I am nearly 100% up and running now. I will have to revise my install process until it is reproducible and have some rough edges around the lich update process and the require gtk GTK dependency.

[jandersson]

Its in ;repository still. It looks like theres still some filtering going on there on your end. Look at the dates and authors (assuming thats the full list). Another thought is to wget it from github (wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rpherbig/dr-scripts/master/dependency.lic)

[robbintt]

@jandersson putting it there manually seems to have worked. i might be totally fixed now, or not.

One side effect is that I had to manually download maps with ;repos download-mapdb

[jandersson]

Got it, wasn't sure if you were trying to automate this. Though i suppose once dependency runs itll update.
