Hardware;
Unimportant, running a VM within ESXI 6.7 for reference.

Current git clone of the repository as set out in the instructions

At this step in the instructions;

Run the bootstrap script

cd /opt/selene/selene-backend/db/scripts
pipenv run python bootstrap_mycroft_db.py

The expected output is for the install to continue, however this pops up instead;

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "bootstrap_mycroft_db.py", line 272, in <module>

    with open(doc_path) as doc:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: /opt/selene/documentation/_pages/embed-privacy-policy.md

I suspect this is because some files are missing but

1. it's looking in the wrong directory, the git repo is cloned into /selene-backend
2. no documentation files are downloaded (that I am able to locate)

I encounter the same issue and have no idea where these documentation files should come from. The script might use the environment var MYCROFT_DOC_DIR, but it's also not defined.

[Multigestern]

Same here.
Anyone found a solution, or workaround yet?

[krisgesling]

I was chatting with Thorsten about this today. They found that commenting out lines 266 and 267 where these pages are defined was sufficient to avoid the error and move forward.

Alternatively you could create the two expected files or point them to your own custom policies:

• /opt/selene/documentation/_pages/embed-privacy-policy.md
• /opt/selene/documentation/_pages/embed-terms-of-use.md

[Multigestern]

Thank you.
Actually i was about to post exactly this workaround.
But i also had to comment the lines 273 to 279. The while loop isn't working unless you have "---\n" in your mds.

[chrisveilleux]

Thanks for posting the workaround, @krisgesling. I will make a change that makes these files optional, but that will have to be prioritized.

Hi @chrisveilleux, you can simply add those files for what, the user can add the terms and policy.

It's normal than this take many minutes?

"Building account.agreement table" take many minutes. It's normal?

If the script is stuck at Building account.agreement table, it's likely that the script is getting hung up on parsing either embed-privacy-policy.md or embed-terms-of-use.md. Those files need to contain the line ---\n (where \n is a newline character) twice in order to break out of the while loop responsible for parsing these files.
