Problem when running torBot binary

[DocKali]

Hi,
When I try to run TorBot binary, I obtain an error and the tool stop. Here is the traceback :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "torBot.py", line 5, in <module>
    import settings
  File "/tmp/pip-install-Xz8Ej3/pyinstaller/PyInstaller/loader/pyimod03_importers.py", line 396, in load_module

Do you know how to solve this?

Thanks for your help!

@KingAkeem Please take a look at this.

@DocKali Its not the issue of binary.
Could you provide us the exact option/input you gave to torBot ?

[DocKali]

@PSNAppz Of course, it was a classical test of your tool. The syntax was python3 torBot.py -u sitename.onion
It test this input with several sites, and I have the result described above everytime.

[PSNAppz]

@DocKali I cannot reproduce this.

[DocKali]

Strange... I'll make more test to see if I can reproduce that.
Oups, I made a mistake in my first response to your demand. The syntax I used is of course ./torBot -u siteadresse.onion, not python3 -u siteadresse.onion.

[PSNAppz]

@DocKali Ok but both has the same effect.

[KingAkeem]

@DocKali Have you tried installing the requirements via pip3 install -r requirements.txt? If you get another error with dot_env then check your requirements.txt and make sure you have the latest requirements. If not, try git pull && pip3 install -r requirements.txt.

[DocKali]

Thanks @KingAkeem for your help.

I did a python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt and all requirements were already satisfied.
I try to run your tool with some random onion sites but always the same error that I described in my first message...

[KingAkeem]

Did you do a git pull beforehand, because I think the requirement was added after your issue was opened. Also try using pip3 install -r requirements.txt rather than python3 -m pip install -r reqiurements.txt

[DocKali]

I just made a git pull and it appears that the version I had of TorBot is up-to-date. Following your recommandations I use pip3 install -r requirements.txt and all requirements are already satisfied. If you need screenshots, I can provide them of course.

Hey @KingAkeem Sorry for this late answer. Here are the requested informations :

Hope this will help you...

The problem should no longer exists, we removed the module using python-dotenv from TorBot. Do you have any files that stlll using python-dotenv? If so then you need to perform a git pull. Does that make sense? If you take a look at the error message, it's tell you that it's an issue with dotenv but we're no longer using this so that message doesn't make sense if you have the latest version of TorBot.

@DocKali #119 Should fix this issue. Please let us know if the problem still exists. Thank you.
