Traceback issues with config file

[elabdi]

Hi dear zack, first thing thank you for making this great solution, second thing I'm having issues making it work on ec2, the error I'm getting for the moment is : Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\YouTube-shorts-generator\main.py", line 8, in subreddit = config.subreddit # subreddit wanted here NameError: name 'config' is not defined.

I tried fixing it but no success, also i want to know if i can use it on my lap either than ec2. Best Regards

Yes i did it with quotes, Are you running the main py or the scarper.Py and did you fulfill the config file with credentials?

I am running the main py. I put them in config and redditlogin.txt. Basically everywhere. This script would work awesome without API i guess

I'm using ec2 as he advised on the requirements section, i will try to run it aswell on my machine tonight, if you found any other solution like this one (auto YouTube shorts) let me know and i will let you know aswell.

@elabdi @manashan I'll be happy to go on discord and try fix the issues. I'm currently busy with finals, so I won't be free until next weekend. I'm interested to see the root of the errors.

For the main.py, it was missing import config. The config file was untested when I added to the code. It was my attempt at making the script more universally accessible, since I didn't intend. on publishing it. I did update the file to include the import.

For the error mentioned in this issue thread @elabdi :

line 24, in reddit.url = vid_list[x][0] IndexError: list index out of range

This means that the reddit_scraper.py wasn't able to pull posts into output off the function. Try printing out the output before line 40 in reddit_scraper.py and let me know if that's the case. Otherwise I think x=100 should be changed to x=len(vid_list) in main.py.
