What to do here?

[schroepfer]

Hello,
i can't understand these errors:

juergen@PI2W-Netatmo:~/netatmo-api-python $ sudo python3 lnetatmo.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/juergen/netatmo-api-python/lnetatmo.py", line 1183, in
authorization = ClientAuth() # Test authentication method
^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/home/juergen/netatmo-api-python/lnetatmo.py", line 253, in init
with open(self._credentialFile, "r", encoding="utf-8") as f:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/root/.netatmo.credentials'

---

PS: the credential-file is in my home directory.... with brand new refresh-Token.
Please can you explain, what to do?

Regards
Jürgen

As the error messsage said " FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/root/.netatmo.credentials' "

So you are using the default credential file name. You should check :

1. Whether the file /root/.netatmo.credentials really exists
2. If the actual user running the library is allowed to access this file
3. If the file is readable (it should be, a media error would trigger an other error)
4. If you are running in an isolated environment (containerized or chrooted process), does it can reach the above absolute file path

And finally, if you want to be in better control of file name/location, use credentialFile named parameter to clientAuth initialisation to define it.

Happy new year !
