$ beet imp "my test"
configuration error: verbose not found

I am running win10 latest version Python 3.6_x64 I had beets working, ran a git pull then ran python -m setup.py install in the beets directory then stated getting the above errors.

I have deleted and re-cloned beets but get the same errors…

The missing file is in the “.egg” file.

Any other suggestions?

Sorry you didn’t get a response on gitter!

It’s possible that there’s some sort of path encoding issue affecting Windows that’s preventing the path to the genre.txt file from working as expected. Does that file actually exist if you navigate to the directory it’s trying to use (C:\Python36\lib\site-packages\beets-1.4.8-py3.6.egg\beetsplug\lastgenre\genres.txt)?

Those configuration errors also look suspicious. Could you share what’s in your config file? It also looks like you perhaps didn’t install beets’ dependencies properly, since that RequestsDependencyWarning seems to be saying you have some sort of dependency conflict.

I have uninstalled python, installed 3.7.3 then ran the setup form my git clone and get the same error minus the RequestsDependencyWarning

I tried disabling all plugins with the same error output.

OK about gitter.

Trying to debug, once in ui_init_.py it jumps straight to line 1282 sys.exit(1)

except confit.ConfigError as exc:
        log.error(u'configuration error: {0}', exc)
        sys.exit(1)

Even “beet help” gives the same errors.

Uninstalled beets and tested the following:

pip install beets - works
pip install https://github.com/beetbox/beets/tarball/master - works
pip install -e git+https://github.com/beetbox/beets#egg=beets - works
python setup.py install - fails from a git clone or from the same directory as  "pip install -e git+https://github.com/beetbox/beets#egg=beets"

Hi! I’m not exactly sure what happened, but it really looks like your beets installation is incomplete. I would try to delete it all and reinstall. It may also be the case that you have multiple installations of beets on your system in various states of completeness—if you can, try to manually delete all those beets directories from your site-packages, etc., to make sure everything’s gone. Then use pip install -e as you did before.

6

All installs from source work, except if I run the setup from the git directory, whether that be from a manual git clone or using the pip -e git command.

In my testsing I did a pip uninstall and then manaually deleted any other files.

The following command always fails with the current source.

python setup.py install

I am not sure what is run differently between a

pip install -e git+https://github.com/beetbox/beets#egg=beets

and

python setup.py install

Looking through the output from either install, no errors show up.

Something still looks a bit suspicious with your Python modules. From your original post:

but from your pip freeze output:

The requests version you’re picking up has a dependency on 'urllib3>=1.21.1,<1.25' and it’s warning that it isn’t satisfied at runtime since the urllib3 version you have is too new (1.25.2 >= 1.25). The version isn’t too new in your pip freeze output though (1.24.3 < 1.25), so that means that at runtime it must be picking up a different package from somewhere.

Somehow when you run pip you’re not running in the same Python environment (some combination of PYTHONPATH, interpreter version and/or site.py) as when you’re running beets.

To investigate it you’ll have to be really careful about which environments you’re running in. For example instead of executing beets directly (which would be picking up an interpreter from the #! line) you could try python ./beet to make sure you’re getting the interpreter currently setup in your shell. If that works it could give you a hint about what’s wrong. It’s unlikely we’ll be able to help much more however since this looks like a problem on your system rather than something wrong with beets itself.

I am now runnnig python 3.7.3 so that warning has been removed.

I have 2 python environements 2.7 and 3.7.
Beets is definitely installed in 3.7.

As I said the error seems to be from manually running the setup.py install

9

I’ve had a play around with this myself and I think I understand what’s happening. Beets includes a few data files or “resources” (in particular beets/config_default.yaml and beetsplug/lastgenre/genres.txt) that it normally accesses by assuming that the files are installed alongside the python module with lines like these:

WHITELIST = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'genres.txt')
C14N_TREE = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'genres-tree.yaml')
DEFAULT_FILENAME = 'config_default.yaml'
filename = os.path.join(self._package_path, DEFAULT_FILENAME)
open(filename).read()

The problem is that you’re installing beets as an egg (which isn’t how we normally recommend), and in that scenario the whole beets module and all its data files remain packed in a zipfile, so the above logic fails. The ConfigErrors are because beets isn’t able to read the default_config.yaml file so confit doesn’t have default values for anything.

If we want to support running beets as an egg then we need to change how we access package resources to look more like:

from pkg_resources import resource_string
foo_config = resource_string(__name__, 'foo.conf')

Would you mind opening a bug for this?

Any reason why

python setup.py install

would now swap to an egg file, rather than a directory?

Happy to change to a pip install -e install

11

I’ve opened an issue to look into this. For now since it seems that beets doesn’t work properly when installed as an egg, I would just stick to pip install -e.

12

Thanks. I’ll follow the issue, trying to work through what changed the install from directory to egg file.
