Trouble Running for the First Time

[Zackery]

Hello, I'm trying to setup Twitch logging. I configure the config.yaml file and I run ./stats_twitch.rb. Once doing so, I get the error.

./stats.rb:278:in `initialize': No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - /home/Stats/twitch/#timmac.log (Errno::ENOENT)
        from ./stats.rb:278:in `open'
        from ./stats.rb:278:in `<main>'

So, understandable, I create the folder and log file. Once done, I run the program again, which results in

./stats_twitch.rb:348:in `at': can't convert nil into an exact number (TypeError)
        from ./stats_twitch.rb:348:in `<main>'

Troubleshooting, I discovered the database file isn't being created by the script, so I create a database.json file, and put {} in it's contents. Doing this results in

./stats_twitch.rb:282:in `block in <main>': undefined method `has_key?' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
        from ./stats_twitch.rb:280:in `each'
        from ./stats_twitch.rb:280:in `<main>'

From here, I'm not sure what to do. Assistance would be appreciated, thank you!

Have you tried putting something in your log file? I just tested it with two lines in the log, and it worked fine. Try:

[2006-01-02 15:04:05 -0700] <joebloggs> This is a message
[2006-01-02 15:04:05 -0700] * joebloggs is preforming an action

then

$ chmod u+x stats_twitch.rb
$ ./stats_twitch.rb

Adding those contents to the log file, while the database.json file is created results in:

./stats_twitch.rb:282:in `block in <main>': undefined method `has_key?' for nil:                                                NilClass (NoMethodError)
        from ./stats_twitch.rb:280:in `each'
        from ./stats_twitch.rb:280:in `<main>'

Removing the database file, it gives me this error.

[2006-01-02 15:04:05 -0700] <joebloggs> This is a message
[2006-01-02 15:04:05 -0700] * joebloggs is preforming an action
./stats_twitch.rb:417:in `<main>': undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for the help.

Which ruby version are you using, and on what OS?

In your second error what is happening is the script will output the lines in the log that it had trouble with (L187). In this case it's having trouble with each line. My best guess is it's an encoding issue with the log file, but I can't be sure.

If you delete lines 94, 186, 187, 188, it will give you a more detailed description of what is going wrong.

It was parsing the format of the logs from a different project that we work on. I was able to modify the script to handle the different format and clean up some exception handling.

I'm getting this error aswell. Any chance to help? I'm reading the example log but getting this:

./stats.rb
[2006-01-02 15:04:05 -0700] This is a message
[2006-01-02 15:04:05 -0700] * joebloggs is preforming an action
./stats.rb:284:in <main>': undefined method []' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

any help?
