Can't run, AttributeError

[ghost]

When I try to run, I get this error:

INFO:shreddit:Logged in as XXX.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/xxx/.local/bin/shreddit", line 11, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())

    shredder = Shredder(default_config, args.user)
  File "/home/xxx/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/shreddit/shredder.py", line 33, in __init__
    self._recent_cutoff = arrow.now().replace(hours=-self._hours)
  File "/home/xxx/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/arrow/arrow.py", line 622, in replace
    raise AttributeError('unknown attribute: "{}"'.format(key))
AttributeError: unknown attribute: "hours"

Any ideas?

You most likely have a newer version of the arrow package than what is in the requirements.txt here - easiest way to check will be to run pip show arrow; if this is newer than 0.10.0, try the following:

pip uninstall arrow
pip install arrow==0.9.0

That should install either 0.9.0 or 0.10.0, and should work. I was having the same issue and followed these steps and was able to get the script working (Python 3.8.2 on Windows 10).

A true fix would be to update shredder.py to account for the code change between 0.10.0 and newer versions of the arrow package, but at least downgrading it for now will get you working.

I am also having this issue, downgrading to arrow 0.9.0 fixed it for me but it is a bit janky to have to revert an update to get this working.

Yeah, my arrow was 0.15.5, downgrading to 0.9.0 did the trick, thanks for the help! :)

Quite true. I've not had the time to look at it yet but any of us could take a swing at it. :)

Downgrading to 0.9.0 didn't fix it for me. I still get the same error message.

Edit: Version 0.14.4 worked for me.

To save any other complete Python noobs the search, pip install --force-reinstall arrow==0.14.4

Then shreddit magically works
