ImportError: cannot import name 'RocketMissingParamException' after upgrade in pip

[cesarandreslopez]

Hello!

After using this Python Wrapper for a while during several months without issues I find that after updating today using

pip install rocketchat_API --upgrade

I get:

File "xxxx.py", line 13, in <module>
from rocketchat_API.rocketchat import RocketChat
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/rocketchat_API/rocketchat.py", line 5, in <module>
from rocketchat_API.APIExceptions.RocketExceptions import RocketConnectionException, RocketAuthenticationException, \
ImportError: cannot import name 'RocketMissingParamException'

In:
Python version: 3.6.4 (default, Dec 21 2017, 01:29:34) [GCC 6.3.0 20170516]

Same identical source code and enviroment was working till today after this upgrade.

Any tips?

hi @cesarandreslopez, can you share the version you updated to?

I can confirm the exact same error with a fresh install of Version „rocketchat-API (0.6.8)”:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./foobar.py", line 4, in <module>
    from rocketchat_API.rocketchat import RocketChat
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/rocketchat_API/rocketchat.py", line 5, in <module>
    from rocketchat_API.APIExceptions.RocketExceptions import RocketConnectionException, RocketAuthenticationException, \
ImportError: cannot import name 'RocketMissingParamException'

is there any solution for this issue?

[cesarandreslopez]

@Bart274 while this gets resolved on the most recent version you can do:

pip install rocketchat_API==0.6.7

Sorry for the delay in my answer. I'm working on it but I'm having serious internet connection issues. The only thing that changed from the previous version is that I was trying to show markdown description on the new pypi so I added this line long_description_content_type="text/markdown" to setup.py and uploaded using python setup.py bdist_wheel upload.

[jadolg]

well, I installed the wheel on a clean environment (from my harddrive, not from internet) and seems to be working perfect. This is what's installed on the environment:

chardet==3.0.4
idna==2.6
requests==2.18.4
rocketchat-API==0.6.8
urllib3==1.22

and this is the code I tried:

from rocketchat_API.rocketchat import RocketChat

rocket = RocketChat('user', 'password')
pprint(rocket.channels_list_joined().json())

[jadolg]

Now I installed from internet and I'm getting the same error as you. I think this might be related with the new PyPi and the way I uploaded my package.

[jadolg]

Well, seems that the problem was related to the way I was packaging/uploading to new PyPi. It does not seem to be compatible with good old python setup.py bdist_wheel upload. I uploaded a new version using Twine and it's working fine for me. Can anyone confirm after installing 0.6.9 ?

[pschmitt]

0.6.9 works fine for me.

[jadolg]

perfect! I will close this issue then. Thanks for your cooperation and support @ALL :)
