• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

[quartz hare]

Not sure if you need any more files thats to do with this. But its not getting the list of applicants

[craggy star]

Please react with ✅ to upload your file(s) to our paste bin, which is more accessible for some users.

[quartz hare]

and i cant proceed further

[slender badger]

This is the function that isn't behaving as expected right?

[quartz hare]

its supposed to say applicants.json?

[slender badger]

This is going to be hard to debug since I can't actually run the code (there are missing dependencies), but I will try my best

[quartz hare]

i can send the rest

[slender badger]

what do you mean?

It seems the code you posted has errors

There was a casting error in applicants.py which i fixed

But now the code is raising an InvalidApplicationException

I'm not familiar with your code so I don't know how to work around that

[quartz hare]

no problem, but is it printing applicants

or is it giving error and not printing applicants

[slender badger]

this

[quartz hare]

hmm

[slender badger]

Can you tell me which lines are okay to comment out

[quartz hare]

Any, you can try as I've backups to my original work. If you're willing to experiment

[slender badger]

ok sounds good

I got it to work

Not sure if this will work for you but this is what I changed

[quartz hare]

this is in main.py

[slender badger]

Yes

[quartz hare]

hmm im still getting the same.

[slender badger]

Are we running the same code??

[quartz hare]

are you maybe able to come vc?

[slender badger]

no, sorry

[quartz hare]

can you maybe send the main.py and applicants here

maybe i wrote it in wrong

but i'd get an error

hmm

[slender badger]

alright i can try

[craggy star]

[quartz hare]

[slender badger]

Can you try adding this line in main.py and see if anything prints when you run the code?

[quartz hare]

okay

[slender badger]

This is my output by the way

[quartz hare]

print(f"Adding applicant '{applicant}' to list")

[slender badger]

Damn...

[quartz hare]

[slender badger]

Well I can't replicate the issue so uh

[undone otter]

ah, nvm, found it

yeah

[undone otter]

please remove try-except in ReadJSONFile

it is likely hiding the issue

or at least log it

if the file doesn't exist

[undone otter]

you're running code from a different directory

in your VSCode, go to File, then Open Folder

[quartz hare]

you're right

[undone otter]

then open the folder of your project

instead of opening files in VSC one by one

[quartz hare]

thank you

@slender badger You still there

[slender badger]

yeah

[quartz hare]

File "c:\Users\PC\Desktop\assignment\New folder\tourismvisa.py", line 34, in init
raise InvalidApplicationException("Intended date of entry must be at least 10 days from today.")
invalidapplicationexception.InvalidApplicationException: Intended date of entry must be at least 10 days from today.
PS C:\Users\PC\Desktop\assignment\New folder>
Any Idea about this?

[slender badger]

Thats line 17 and 18 of applicants.py

I didn’t know if you did that on purpose or not so I just commented it out when looking at your code

[quartz hare]

i was trying to make the expiry of 6 months

maybe i did it incorrectly but im only getting error now so i believe its incorrect now

[slender badger]

Oh wait nvm thats not it

Um well I don’t have my computer in front of me anymore

see if someone else can help

[quartz hare]
