Harmonize sees the Hue Hub but cannot sync + NameError: name 'baseurl' is not defined about harmonizeproject HOT 3 CLOSED

@SeattleSi and @evangryz confirmed seeing the second error listed.

On August 14h SeattleSi commented:

I'm seeing issue #2 as well.

Traceback (most recent call last):

However, after restarting ./harmonizeproject/harmonize.py I'm seeing:

On August 17th I replied:
For your # 1, I think this is the expected behavior. You gotta install the dependencies it before you can run it! I think it also generates client.json where your terminal session 'is'; but then always looks for it in the root directory. We can update the instructions to clarify you must cd into the directory first, thanks!

For your # 2, I can see this bug in the code now. The issue is we only define 'baseurl' IF client.json is found. If you haven't set it up yet, there is no client.json and thus you see the error you saw. I think it should run on the second try though, as SeattleSi pointed out. I'll label this a bug and get to fixing it as well.

Regarding SeattleSi 's issue, first off, try again. Sometimes one thread gets ahead of another and doesn't define the video shape in time. If that doesn't work, you may have an issue getting video input. Does the videotest.py script work for you?

On August 18th I closed the issue with:

I have some updates on this.

Sub-Issue # 1 has been clarified in the Readme, telling users they must CD into the directory to generate the clientdata properly.

To clarify the issue with # 2 in this issue - it is that the below code which defines the baseurl is only triggered if Path("./client.json").is_file(): {See line 122}. To fix this we need to include the below code in the 'else' tied to the same IF statement

    global baseurl
    baseurl = "http://{}/api".format(hueip)

For now I've included the workaround instructions in the Readme, but I will fix this in the code sometime soon. Thanks again for calling these out!
