RE: drphil.rb - Voting Bot - gem update and bug fixes

[htooms]

Hey @intertia
LTNS in the chatroom.

I just got the bot running since you changed it adding "gems". I did a fresh install and there have been errors.

It works, recognizes votes that need to be made. Then when it comes time to vote it gives me the following error.

{:error_perser_exception=>#<NoMethodError: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass>, :original_response=>{"jsonrpc"=>"2.0", "error"=>{"code"=>-32003, "message"=>"Unable to acquire database lock"}, "id"=>562}}

Any quick solutions come to mind?

That should be an intermittent error. You could also change nodes by editing drphil.yml:

:chain_options:
  :chain: steem
  :url: https://api.steemit.com

... to something else like:

:chain_options:
  :chain: steem
  :url: https://gtg.steem.house:8090

Or pick a different node from this list: https://geo.steem.pl/

Thanks I will try that. Excellent customer service btw.!!! as always.

More info:
You said that the bundler can ask for sudo permission if needed. It didn't.
At first I ran it with sudo (broke the install as you said it would) trashed that VM

Next I read the errors. Gave it read write permission for the directories in could not write to

one: var/lib/gems/

the other was: usr/local/bin

Since the bot is the only thing running - I have no security issues in giving those permissions.

It worked after doing those things. Your work is really interesting. I used to do a lot of programming and would love to see what is under the hood with ruby and gems. Finding the time...

I looked through all my phones and found an installed discord. I was not able to find you or Fyrst, but I will get back to you. Cheers!
