the subprocess not work

#

please help me

#

idk why there is an error

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 6:23 PM

#

subprocess.run returns more than just the string output - it returns a process, with the status code (whether it was run successfully), the stdin/stdout/stderr,
the stdout being what you want - the text printed by the program, so you'd get the .stdout of the process
or you could just use subproces.check_output if you only need the output

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 6:51 PM

#

ok thanks

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 6:52 PM

#

frozen axle subprocess.run returns more than just the string output - it returns a process, ...

so should i just replace subprocess.run to subprocess.check_output

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 6:52 PM

#

or add .stdout to the current thing
either will be fine

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 6:52 PM

#

thanks a lot

#

its gonna be useufl for my cubing

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 6:53 PM

frozen axle or add `.stdout` to the current thing either will be fine

my code

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 6:53 PM

#

you dont need capture_output with check_output
its entire point is to capture the output, you dont need to say that again
what you got is basically an implementation issue thingy, it forwarded the arguments and they got reused in an incompatible way

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 6:54 PM

ok thanks

path = r"C:\Users\oraga\OneDrive\Desktop\New folder\nissy-2.0.6.exe"

#

like this?

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 6:54 PM

yeah
that'll give you bytes so you probally still want the text=True or a .decode()

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 6:55 PM

OK

I think this a new error

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 6:57 PM

well, yeah
check the output perhaps, figure out why you could be going out of bounds with the index

ok thanks

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 7:00 PM

#

if you're doing some parsing of the output like get thing between parens you could use str.index or str.partition maybe
or regex

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 7:01 PM

#

wdym

#

i just made it print the output

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 7:01 PM

#

why are the loops there then? what are they doing?

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 7:01 PM

#

does the extra line mean it outputted nothing

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 7:02 PM

#

likely
you could print(repr(nissy_output)) to see it as you'd write it as a string

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 7:02 PM

#

frozen axle why are the loops there then? what are they doing?

the output is formatted
R2 F2 U L2 D2 (5) with the length bracketed at the end

#

OHHH

#

usually there are multiple solutions like
R2 F2 U L2 D2 (5)
F2 D F2 F2 F2 (5)
which is why i used the first while loop

#

but sometimes theres only 1

#

i added or

#

but it doesnt work

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 7:05 PM

#

frozen axle likely you could `print(repr(nissy_output))` to see it as you'd write it as a st...

this is the output

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 7:12 PM

#

so yep, it was an empty string
if you run the program yourself, without subprocess, does it produce any output?

#

i think

command = ["solve -M 20 " + scramble_full]

might be the source of the problem
this is not how you pass command line arguments
each argument should be a separate element in the list, so like, ["solve", "-M", "20"]

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 7:24 PM

#

oh ok thanks

#

let me check

#

it definetly works if i run nissy normally

#

would it be ["solve", "-M", "20", scramble_full]?

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 7:25 PM

#

depends on what is scramble_full

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 7:26 PM

#

its a string variable

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 7:26 PM

#

i know, but what does the string contain?

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 7:26 PM

#

something like R2 F2 L2 D2 R2 U2 F2 B2 D2 F2 L2 U R2 U R2 U B2 D2 U2 R2 L2 F2 D2 L2 but with 1000-2000 moves

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 7:27 PM

#

okay, and does nissy actually accept those each as separate arguments? or you do something like nissy "R2 F2 L2", putting all of the moves in a single string?

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 7:27 PM

#

#

this is what i would type into nissy

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 7:28 PM

#

so each move is a separate argument

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 7:28 PM

#

yeah

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 7:28 PM

#

then you could do something like ["solve", "-M", "20"] + scramble_full.split()

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 7:28 PM

#

ok thanks

#

should i copy and paste

#

like just use ["solve", "-M", "20"] + scramble_full.split()

#

oops it doesnt work

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 7:30 PM

#

what happens?

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 7:30 PM

#

it has an error

#

ill send it

#

#

i had to use word doc because i cant snip it as its too big to fit in one screen and the message is too long

#

it opened terminal

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 7:33 PM

#

maybe its "too much" for it? does it work with fewer moves?

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 7:33 PM

#

ok let me try

oh, right, since it has a space in the path you'd need to quote it, otherwise it treats them as 2 separate things

oh ok thanks

#

let me try

#

it does

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 7:37 PM

#

you should not need it in your python code - the string is a single thing, it will be passed as that by subprocess, i mean when you try to run it in the terminal yourself, if you do thing/new folder/something its actually like (thing/new) (folder/something)

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 7:38 PM

#

#

maybe i have to type #nissy at the start

#

its automatically there when i do nissy nomrally

#

normally

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 7:39 PM

#

no, the #nissy is not part of your command, its just text printed by it

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 7:39 PM

#

ok

#

what does it mean by unexpected token

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 7:40 PM

#

atomic cosmos

i think you might need a & at the start
im not on windows so cant even test

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 7:40 PM

#

oh it works

#

nice

#

but there is an error

#

not really an error

#

but

#

the pruning tables take hours to generate

#

ive already generated them

#

and when i press windows r and the path to nissy it works and i dont need to gen the pruning tables cuz ive done it

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 7:42 PM

#

perhaps it looks for them in the current working directory? which is different in this case

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 7:42 PM

#

should i change the position of the tables?

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 7:42 PM

#

if its like a file and you know where it is you could try to move it and see if that works yeah

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 7:42 PM

#

ok

#

where should i move it

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 7:43 PM

#

see the C:\Users\oraga at the start of your prompt? thats your "current working directory" in the terminal, its like the directory you're in in a file explorer
if a program tries to look for something like data.txt with a relative path, it'd therefore look at C:\Users\oraga\data.txt
you can change your directory with the cd command (change directory)

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 7:43 PM

#

ok

#

#

ive put them there

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 7:46 PM

#

frozen axle see the `C:\Users\oraga` at the start of your prompt? thats your "current workin...

how do i use cd command

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 7:46 PM

#

since you've put them in here - right now just check if running the same command now finds those table files
if it does - that confirms that it uses a relative path to find them

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 7:47 PM

#

it doesnt work

#

it still wants to gen the tables

frozen axle Dec 4, 2024, 7:52 PM

#

if you put them in the tables directory does that work? (still run from C:\Users\oraga though)
because uh, judging by https://github.com/spencerchubb/nissy/blob/main/src/env.c#L27-L45 - thats where it should look

atomic cosmos Dec 4, 2024, 8:00 PM

#

no it doesnt work
