@ZumiYumi thanks for reporting. I will look into in when I am back from vacations

@ZumiYumi On my second laptop (Linux, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, amd64) I get a different error. Not sure what is the problem in your issue/how to replicate it (please use your Python knowledge to troubleshoot)

I also added checkmate parameters/options descriptions for more customizations/better description vs just in code and shell script.

[ZumiYumi]

Hmmm, okay @marcinguy :) I'll try to investigate it this weekend. Thank you for your time

[marcinguy]

@ZumiYumi u can try llm to debug the issue (uploading source zipfile to OpenAI gpt 4o or Claude or other llm of choice)

vscode has now llm integrations (many models I read) or cursor ai or GitHub copilot

Was pretty good when I used it

I am getting a related error on the latest on VMWare guest Debian 12 The error is the same whether I use the sh < curl or run the worker-cli manually

user@debian:~/projects/ttt/src/.checkmate$ sudo docker run -e CODE_DIR=$CODE_DIR -e OPENAI_GPT_API -v ${CODE_DIR}:${CODE_DIR} -ti tcosolutions/betterscan-worker-cli:latest /bin/sh -c "cd $CODE_DIR && git config --global --add safe.directory $CODE_DIR && checkmate init --backend sqlite --backend-opts \"sqlite:////${CODE_DIR}/.checkmate/database.db\""

As if the sqlite directive isn't really sticking, blitzdb isn't sqlite?
