Error running mpf monitor

[Owen Underwood]

Hello,

Just installed mpf 0.80 dev6 and Godot on a new computer for my next game

The install appears to have worked (I can run mpf and Godot) but I am getting the below error when running mpf monitor.

Thanks in advance

Hi Owen!

It looks to me like you are attempting to run the command `mpf monitor` from inside the monitor folder, hence the path "home/dune/dune/monitor/config/config.yaml". Monitor should be run from inside the root game folder, not the monitor folder, because it will look for <current_dir>/config/config.yaml by default. If trying from the machine root doesn't fix it, could you post the path of your main config file, the working directory in which you are running the command, and the text of the command you are running?

Alternatively, `mpf monitor` can be run from nonstandard locations if you include the path to the machine folder as a positional argument. Run the command `mpf monitor --help` for more information on arguments and options.

PS: I saw the recent gameplay test video, it looks super fun and I can't wait to play! :)

It's also possible that mpf monitor is not installed in the environment, in which case mpf is interpreting "monitor" as the machine path instead of a command to run. If nothing from Alex's suggestions work, try verifying with pip list that mpf-monitor is installed.

(Also Alex's text came out in white for some reason, so if you can't see it just highlight the empty area :P )

[Owen Underwood]

Yep that was it, didn't have mpf monitor installed :)

Been a while since I set up mpf on a new machine, thanks everyone.

Huh! I was on my phone, and writing posts is a nightmare on there. It must have copied the formatting from the dark mode notes app. Wild stuff, sorry about that!
