Claiming Reward Balance gives MissingKeyError

[camponez]

I was trying to use the claim_reward_balance(). It worked for sometime, but two days ago it stops working.

The code:

from steem import Steem
from steem.commit import Commit

c =  Commit(steem=Steem(keys=[POST_KEY, ACTIVE_KEY]))

 c.claim_reward_balance()

MissingKeyError                           Traceback (most recent call last)

    912                 "reward_vests": reward_vests,
    913             })

    131             tx.appendSigner(account, permission)
--> 132             tx.sign()
    133
    134         return tx.broadcast()

    122
    123         signedtx.sign(self.wifs, chain=self.steemd.chain_params)

MissingKeyError:

I am not getting a missing key error, but also Bad Cast on claiming reward balance, see #187 . I think new changes affect all 'call' operations where parameters are passed. I am not sure how to restructure them to work at this point in time

[Boontjie]

See my issue, try not using api.steemit node

[camponez]

I can't even get the error anymore. stempy config just hangs there as does c = Commit(steem=Steem(keys=[POST_KEY, ACTIVE_KEY])).

Where do I clear the steempy configuration?

[cyon1c]

This is due to our switch to appbase on api.steemit.com, and those changes not being included in steem-python. I will be working to get this resolved today.

[bobinson]

@cyon1c - thats some exciting news!

[camponez]

I get this error on different api...

@camponez try using this code as reference: https://github.com/steemit/steem-python/pull/195/files#diff-94ce5c94e607bee610742036bb262f0eR23

I can't get s.claim_reward_balance(account='accountnamehere') to work with any node. This functionality stopped working for me a few weeks ago

[cyon1c]

Do you have a list of nodes you've tried against? @firemouse604

[camponez]

Weird... I'm still seeing this problem but just with one of my accounts...

[camponez]

Weird... I'm still seeing this problem but just with one of my accounts...

On the account that it's working I get the error: ERROR:root:Downgrade-retry steemd.minnowsupportproject.org

[roadscape]

Is anyone able to confirm this issue is resolved on master branch?

[devopsjourney1]

Yes, just updated and it seems to be resolved now. Thank you.

[roadscape]

@camponez if it only affects 1 account it's probably due to a WIF/config issue.

I believe the other concerns in this issue should be resolved now, please leave a comment if this is not the case.

[camponez]

@roadscape Yes. Same problem. It only works for one account, not work for two others....

if it only affects 1 account it's probably due to a WIF/config issue.

I'm able to call check_reward(). Only claim(), does not work. I can also vote with those accounts. Only claim() has the problem. Very weird to be for 1 of 3 accounts only.

btw, steempy always say 1.0.0. Is there a way to find if I'm using the latest? maybe add part of the sha to the version?

[roadscape]

@camponez you might be using an old version. We need to update the pypi repo still. I recommend checking your script against master on this repository.

[camponez]

@roadscape I thought that I was running master. I'm doing sudo python setup.py install in the master branch.

$ steempy --version
steempy 1.0.0

is there another way to check which version I'm running?

[cyon1c]

Hey @camponez, I want to trouble shoot a couple things did you use git to clone the repo? If so, can you run git pull origin master and then git log to check that you have all the newest changes by comparing the last commit hash with the tip of master on github.

I noticed your command is sudo python setup.py install, which means you've installed steem-python as a Python 2 library. In your original logs, your traceback shows you are using Python 3.6. I would recommend trying python3 setup.py install and then try this again.

If this still does not work, re-importing the account should solve the issue. In the event that still does not, please report back and I can re-open and investigate further.

@cyon1c

• I'm pretty sure I'm on master (a2a5e58ad67f75829add)
• My python is 3.6

  $ python --version
  Python 3.6.3

  Also

  ls /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/steem-1.0.0-py3.6.egg

However, when I run on ipython:

I found the error!

It's strange because it had worked before. Problem was on my code. I needed to pass accountto c.claim_reward_balance()

Look good now! :)
