Unable to initialize knowledge repo

Hello,

I am attempting to spin up knowledge repo locally. So far, I have:

• Created and activated virtual environment
• pip install --upgrade "knowledge-repo[all]"

Yet, when I follow the next command:

knowledge_repo --repo C:\Users\sperkins\Projects\repo init

I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File “C:\Users\sperkins\Projects\repo\repo-env\Scripts\knowledge_repo”, line 96, in <module> repo = knowledge_repo.KnowledgeRepository.for_uri(args.repo) File “c:\users\sperkins\projects\repo\repo-env\lib\site-packages\knowledge_repo\repository.py”, line 46, in for_uri return cls._get_subclass_for(scheme)(uri, *args, **kwargs) File “c:\users\sperkins\projects\repo\repo-env\lib\site-packages\knowledge_repo\utils\registry.py”, line 24, in _get_subclass_for return cls._registry[key] KeyError: ‘c’

Am I missing something?

@stephperk try using a relative path instead of an absolute path, such as:

knowledge_repo --repo .\test init

I was having the same issue as you but this worked for me. Hope this helps!

I got this error when I try to launch the server.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/path/to/my/repo", line 263, in <module>
    raise RuntimeError("Could not initialise knowledge repository for uri `{}`. Please check the uri, and try again.".format(args.repo))
RuntimeError: Could not initialise knowledge repository for uri `/path/to/my/repo`. Please check the uri, and try again.

Solution:

The issue was I was not initializing the repo correctly.

this is how I initialize the repo (and this is the wrong way to do it)

knowledge_repo --repo /path/to/my/repo init

Even this is wrong, it did not give me any errors and created the dir with .knowledge_repo_config.yml file, so I thought it was created properly

The CORRECT way to initialize it

knowledge_repo --repo git:///path/to/my/repo init

Please not the git:// and then the path to the location on your machine.

After creating the repo this way, I was able to run the server.
