Isn't data folder created before installing?

[Jeiwan]

Hi,

I'm trying to install EOSFactory on my Mac and getting this error when running ./install.sh:

Configuring the eosfactory installation...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "eosfactory/install.py", line 18, in <module>

  File "eosfactory/install.py", line 13, in install

    map = config_map()

TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType
ERROR!
Cannot determine the version of the installed 'eosio' package.
The error message:
expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType

This is the line that raises the error: https://github.com/tokenika/eosfactory/blob/master/eosfactory/core/config.py#L164 It calls get_app_data_dir function which returns None because this path – https://github.com/tokenika/eosfactory/blob/master/eosfactory/core/config.py#L17 – doesn't exist on my machine.

If I create this folder manually, it keeps raising other errors:

Configuring the eosfactory installation...

ERROR /Users/Jeiwan/.tmp/eosfactory/eosfactory/core/config.py 169:
Cannot find the configuration directory
/Users/Jeiwan/.local/eosfactory/config

The error message:

The error message:

Seems like the install script should create all the necessary folders first.

P.S. I'm using the latest version (v3.0.2) and installing it as described in the docs.

Strange, we have tested EOSFactory with Mac. Please, give me time to evaluate the issue.

[stefanzarembinski]

Please, try:

./uninstall.sh
./install.sh

Let me know the result.

[stefanzarembinski]

Next:

python3 -m eosfactory.config

Let mi know the result

[Jeiwan]

./uninstall.sh
./install.sh

This didn't help. Exact commands that I run:

$ rm -rf ~/.local/eosfactory
$ cd ~/.tmp
$ git clone https://github.com/tokenika/eosfactory.git
$ cd eosfactory
$ ./uninstall.sh (and "cmod +x ./uninstall.sh" before that)
$ ./install.sh

Here's the full output of ./install.sh: https://gist.github.com/Jeiwan/04c0bb66282b76f6f7175c005a62fe69 And here's what python3 -m eosfactory.config prints out: https://gist.github.com/Jeiwan/a90cb08d21217775fd82ae2bd3f04ae4

It feels like it expects that eosfactory is cloned to a certain directory, like ~/.local/eosfactory.

[Jeiwan]

And here's another thing: when I install eosfactory via pip3 (pip3 install eosfactory-tokenika --user) and run reset() in ipython, I get the same error: https://gist.github.com/Jeiwan/88b6d8c0764f1926ffa00e8990502c9b

[stefanzarembinski]

EOSFactory uses this directory if it is instaled with pip from PyPi.

Please do

python3 -m eosfactory.config

Let me know the result.

[Jeiwan]

I posted output of python3 -m eosfactory.config above, the same error actually.

[stefanzarembinski]

Thank you for your persistent cooperation.

We have published EOSFactory v2.0.3. There I try an improvement that can work. If it fails, better error control wil provide new information.

Will you, please, reinstall and run python3 -m eosfactory.config. Let me know the result.

[Jeiwan]

Sorry for the delay.

It now fails with:

ERROR!
Cannot determine the version of the installed 'eosio' package.
The error message:
ERROR /Users/Jeiwan/.tmp/eosfactory/eosfactory/core/config.py 90:
Cannot determine the directory of application data. Tried:
/usr/local/eosfactory/
/Users/Jeiwan/.local/eosfactory/
/Users/Jeiwan/.tmp/eosfactory

After I created ~/.local/eosfactory, it fails with:

ERROR!
Cannot determine the version of the installed 'eosio' package.
The error message:
ERROR /Users/Jeiwan/.tmp/eosfactory/eosfactory/core/config.py 178:
Cannot find the configuration directory
/Users/Jeiwan/.local/eosfactory/config

And it works fine after creating ~/.local/eosfactory/config. Thus, error messages make sense now, but the config folder is not created automatically.

[Jeiwan]

And it fails when running python3 tests/hello_world.py:

ERROR: test_functional (__main__.Test)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
eosfactory.core.errors.Error: ERROR /Users/Jeiwan/.tmp/eosfactory/eosfactory/core/config.py 188:

[stefanzarembinski]

From the previous information, I understand that you have installed EOSFactory as a clone of its repository, and not as a PyPi package (with pip3).

Now, eosfactory.config cannot determine where sits the installation. I guess, it is at /Users/Jeiwan/.tmp/eosfactory. If so, it may be access rights problem. Will you change chmod 775 /Users/Jeiwan/.tmp/eosfactory?

[Jeiwan]

The folder already has 755 permissions, it's so by default.

[Jeiwan]

Cannot determine the directory of application data. Tried:
/usr/local/eosfactory/
/Users/Jeiwan/.local/eosfactory/
/Users/Jeiwan/.tmp/eosfactory

I noticed that the last folder (my current folder) in this list misses a trailing slash. Probably this is why the script doesn't recognize it.

[stefanzarembinski]

Still, I do not understand what is wrong.

Will you, please, replace the function definition 'def get_app_data_dir()` in the file 'eosfactory/core/config.py' with the following version involving debugging information:

def get_app_data_dir():
    if APP_DATA_DIR_SUDO[1] in __file__:
        app_data_dir = APP_DATA_DIR_SUDO[0]
    elif  APP_DATA_DIR_USER[1] in __file__:
        app_data_dir = APP_DATA_DIR_USER[0]
    else:
        app_data_dir = eosf_dir() + "/"

    if app_data_dir and os.path.exists(app_data_dir):
        return app_data_dir

    msg = '''
    __file__: {}
    APP_DATA_DIR_SUDO[0]: {}
    APP_DATA_DIR_SUDO[1]: {}
    APP_DATA_DIR_USER[0]: {}
    APP_DATA_DIR_USER[1]: {}
    eosf_dir(): {}
    '''.format(
            __file__, 
            APP_DATA_DIR_SUDO[0], APP_DATA_DIR_SUDO[1], 
            APP_DATA_DIR_USER[0], APP_DATA_DIR_USER[1], 
            eosf_dir())
    raise errors.Error( msg + '''
    Cannot determine the directory of application data. Tried:
        '{}',
        '{}',
        '{}'.
    The chosen path is
        '{}',
    but it does not exist, seemingly.
    '''.format(
            APP_DATA_DIR_SUDO[0], APP_DATA_DIR_USER[0], eosf_dir() + "/",
            app_data_dir),
            translate=False)

Run python3 -m eosfactory.config.

I appreciate your patient cooperation.

[stefanzarembinski]

The new edition v.3.1.0 fixes the issue, hopefully.
