BitMEXWebsocket error

[spoonwzd]

I'm a new user trying to get Market Maker to work.

Have tried on both Ubuntu and Windows with Python v3.5 / 3.6 / 3.7 all with the same result:

2018-08-14 22:26:00,751 - INFO - market_maker - BitMEX Market Maker Version: v1.4

...and then it repeats the missing positional argument line forever more.

My Google-fu is failing me. Anyone have any ideas?

I second this. Happens as above on Ubuntu 18.

I third this, having the same problem on windows 10.

EDIT: I've now made some progress and can get it to run consistently on my windows 10 laptop in a janky way, I still can't get it to work on an ubuntu 16.04 ec2 instance however.

I created a file in the directory above the working directory where I ran 'marketmaker setup', all the file is is

import market_maker.market_maker
market_maker.run()

I had an issue running it in anaconda prompt using a conda env that had everything installed in it, but running this file in anaconda prompt after deactivating the env is working.

Exactly the same problem for me on OSX El Capitan version 10.11.6.

Same issue on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6, and Windows 10

so it's just broken, and I assume nobody will/can fix ...

Same issue in Ubuntu 16.04/18.04, was working before , triggered when i made some changes to my config parameters not related to the web-socket, issues persists even if i revert my changes

Any updates on this issue?

For what it's worth, if you take a look at https://github.com/BitMEX/api-connectors/blob/master/official-ws/python/bitmex_websocket.py you'll see that there is a positional argument for 'message' on line 107. Putting that into the ws_thread.py no longer gets the error above but now it's giving me the following error instead:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/wahabkazi/mm_test/sample-market-maker-master/market_maker/ws/ws_thread.py", line 38, in del
self.exit()

self.ws.close()
AttributeError: 'BitMEXWebsocket' object has no attribute 'ws'

I've gotten it fully working now on windows 10 and ubuntu 16.04 using a conda enviroment with python 3.6. I'm pretty sure someone updated the pip installed version of the bitmex-market-maker, but I'm new to github so I'm not sure how to check. Also I'm pretty sure the issue causing this is a result of whatever bitmex websocket version is coming with the bitmex-market-maker pip install right now. Anyway, this is how I made it work.

how to:
1.) create enviroment with python 3.6
2.) pip install bitmex-market-maker
3.) pip install bitmex-ws
4.) navigate to a working directory, run 'marketmaker setup', update the settings.py file with your api info
5.) to run do 'marketmaker XBTUSD'
(not list format 'marketmaker [XBTUSD]' as mentioned in the getting started section)

The [XBTUSD] part is an optional parameter (hence the square brackets), meaning if you leave it out it will run with the default (which is XBTUSD)

[spoonwzd]

The missing part was 'pip install bitmex-ws'

Thanks @wschneller !

[NogbadTheBad1]

The missing part was 'pip install bitmex-ws'

Thanks @wschneller !

Yeah this is it. This should be in the readme. Thanks!

Im surprised they havent resolved this issue yet in 2 years. Makes me wonder if they are capable of anything big. 'pip install bitmex-ws' is the easy solution.
