Error when Deploying the Robot - Robotpy

Technical Python
1

Just recently, my team has run into problems when deploying our robot. Running the command ‘python -m robotpy deploy’ no longer works. Since our last successful deploy, we have not edited anything other than robot.py and maybe another component. here is the error we receive when attempting to deploy:

$ python -m robotpy deploy
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 198, in _run_module_as_main

Any help would be appreciated, Thank You!

Do you have a link to your code?

GitHub - km-otternauts-6758/robot-2024 here you go.

That seems like it should work. What’s the output of python -m pip list?

That’s really strange. I think I would recommend uninstalling/reinstalling these two packages:

python -m pip uninstall robotpy-cli robotpy-installer
python -m pip install robotpy-cli robotpy-installer

If that doesn’t address it, I can write a script to try to figure out why it’s breaking in your environment, since it seems to work everywhere else.

Which exact version of Python are you using? I see it’s 3.12, but 3.12.what?

7

We are using Python 3.12.2

Running these two commands did not work when we tried to re-deploy the robot.

8

Do any of the other commands work, or is it just deploy that’s broken? If you do python -m robotpy, it shows a bunch of other commands you can execute. For example, python -m robotpy sim

9

trying other commands like ‘python -m robotpy test’ returns similar errors.

‘python -m robotpy sim’ returns a different error:

17:07:03:185 INFO : halsim_gui : WPILib HAL Simulation 2024.2.1.2
HAL Extensions: Attempting to load: halsim_gui
Simulator GUI Initializing.
Simulator GUI Initialized!
HAL Extensions: Successfully loaded extension
17:07:03:284 ERROR : pyfrc.physics : User physics module does not have a PhysicsEngine object

10

I tried Python 3.12.2 on Windows and wasn’t able to reproduce your error, so it must be something weird about your environment. Feels likely that something got corrupted during upgrades, but it’s hard to say what. pip is… challenging to work with sometimes.

More curiosity, does python -m robotpy deploy --help show a bunch of different arguments or nothing?

Here’s a script – if you could run it then that’ll tell me a bunch about your environment and see what we’re missing.

import argparse
import importlib.metadata
import inspect
import sys

for ep in importlib.metadata.entry_points(group="robotpy"):
    if ep.name == "deploy":
        cmd_class = ep.load()
        print("cmd_class", cmd_class)
        break
else:
    print("ERROR")
    sys.exit(1)

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
cmd = cmd_class(parser)

#
# parser.print_help()

signature = inspect.Signature.from_callable(cmd.run)
for k, v in dict(signature.parameters).items():
    print(f"k={k} v={v} kind={v.kind}")

After you run that, if you could paste the output here that would be great. You don’t need to be connected to your robot to run it.

Finally, I think it’s an environmental problem, so I would force pip to reinstall everything. You could manually uninstall all your packages, but that sounds annoying. I would start with python -m pip install --force-reinstall -U robotpy and see if that addresses it.

11

“python -m robotpy deploy --help” returns the correct message.

Here is what your script returned:

$ python -m robotpy deploy

ERROR: C:\Users\kmott\OneDrive\Documents\GitHub\robot-2024-0\robot.py does not contain any robot classes

At least one class must inherit from wpilib.RobotBase or its descendents
I will try force reinstalling shortly, thank you!

Ok, I attempted the reinstall and it seemed to work at first then encountered some errors.
$ python -m pip install --force-reinstall -U robotpy

The errors are just because those packages need updates. The bigger question is whether deploy works now?

14

Update, we figured it out! We tried a separate, empty file, and put basic code in it to see if it was just the file itself. Somewhere along the line, our original project file got corrupted apparently, or something. We thankfully had the code on a separate computer, committed it to git, and recloned it. Thank you so much for your help!

15

… that’s really strange. Do you have the original file that caused the issue? Can you zip it up and send it to me, I’d love to look into this more.

Sorry for getting back so late, we had to leave early last night. Here is the non-working file.

I suspect you’re referencing an old version of Phoenix5
