tbot installation about tbot

[Rahix]

Hello @srnae05,

I am a beginner in linux.

Not sure how much beginner, so if you know most of this already, ignore it: On Linux (or more generally, in all POSIX systems) the shell searches for commands in the directories given in the $PATH environment variable. You can take a look at this list using this command:

❯ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin

Now, in the installation instructions of tbot, you were supposed to run the install command like this:

❯ python3 setup.py install --user
[...]

Without the --user, this command would have installed tbot to /usr/local/bin, but your user does not have access rights to that directory. So instead, using the --user flag, it is installed in your home-directory, more specifically into ~/.local/bin. This directory is not in your $PATH by default so you need to add it manually.

To do this, you have to add another command to your .bashrc:

export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH

Once you then open a new shell session you should be able to run tbot :)

Hello @Rahix

Thank you for the reply.

It runs now, I did not add export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH to ~.bashrc

I have another point,

• In the documentation, there is a step that say source /path/to/tbot/completions.sh to ~.bashrc.
  This is how I did it. In the terminal, I used the source /mypathToTbot/completions.sh. However when I open the ~.bashrc, this is not reflected.

I believe I am doing something wrong here since my self test is failing

-------------------------Another Issue---------------------------------------------------------
When I execute other .py files, i get the same error KeyError: 'hello_world'. I believe that tbot is not able to find the function definition of hello_world in a .py file. How do I fix this ? Thanks !

You have to add the source command as a line in your ~/.bashrc file:

source /mypathToTbot/completions.sh

Can you please post the entire output tbot gives you?

What exact command were you running? What was the name of the python file?

[srnae05]

source /mypathToTbot/completions.sh

After adding this, the self test passes. Thanks !

I created a file tc.py with hello_world function in my home folder. When I execute using tbot hello_world, it fails. Here is the output
`(base) root@srnae05:/home/srnae05/ACC/testCases# tbot hello_world

The command-output already points to the issue. tbot complains that it can't load your testcase file:

Warning: Failed to load /home/srnae05/ACC/testCases/tc.py:

Below that you can see the traceback of the failure, which ends with an error message:

File "/home/srnae05/ACC/testCases/tc.py", line 4
   def hello_world()
   ^
   SyntaxError: invalid syntax

You'll have to figure out what you did wrong, but from the output I suspect you forgot the : after the function definition ;)
