auto_rx 1.8.0 – Email notifications are not being sent

[Zdenek OK2SZ]

Hello everyone, I've encountered an issue. I've been using Radiosonde auto_rx in versions 1.7.x for over a year. Recently, I updated to version 1.8.0. I didn't notice any changes (since no sondes had landed in my area) until I decided to start testing another auto_rx installation with an Airspy R2 instead of RTL dongles.

I noticed that although my configuration file is set correctly—identical to previous versions—notification emails are not being sent. At first, I thought there was an error during the auto_rx installation. However, I tried several fresh installations following the instructions in the auto_rx wiki carefully, but with no success.

During my last test, I tried running the email_notification script directly, and the following result occurred:

(venv) pi@raspberrypi:~/radiosonde_auto_rx/auto_rx/autorx $ python3 email_notification.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pi/radiosonde_auto_rx/auto_rx/autorx/email_notification.py", line 16, in <module>
    from .config import read_auto_rx_config
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

  Could someone please advise me on what I'm doing wrong or what the issue might be? Thanks!  

73!

You won't be able to run the e-mail notification test like that.

To run it, see the information here: https://github.com/projecthorus/radiosonde_auto_rx/wiki/Configuration-Settings#e-mail-notifications

Let us know of any errors you find.

  Hello Mark, and thank you for the lightning-fast response. 

I have now started the test according to your instructions:

You will need to enter the python venv first, which you had done previously when trying to run the script.

e.g. source venv/bin/activate

Cheers,

Mark

  Hello Mark, 

thank you very much for your quick help. Based on your advice, I managed to detect the problem, which was between the keyboard and the chair :-) . I didn’t see the error in one line of the configuration file. 

Thanks again!
