TypeError: object() takes no parameters

I am getting "TypeError: object() takes no parameters" after running following command:

python -m weatherterm -u Fahrenheit -a USNY1192:1:US -p WeatherComParser -td

I could not solve the problem after several hours of checking every bit of the codes in the book and finally submitted to stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49393703/typeerror-object-takes-no-parameters-python-3-6-3 to possibly free myself from frustrations.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Kind regards

Hi @armaanreza

Sorry to hear that you are having problems with this example. I've just fetched the code that is here in the repository and I couldn't reproduce the error. I'm running the exact same Python version as you 3.6.3. Do you have phantomJS in phantonjs/bin/?

Looking at the call stack that you posted on StackOverflow, it seems to me that it is something wrong in the Request class in weatherterm/core/request.py. The Request class in this example takes one parameter, and it should look like this:

class Request:
    def __init__(self, base_url):
        self._driver_path = os.path.join(os.curdir, 'phantomjs/bin/phantomjs')
        self._base_url = base_url
        self._driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(self._driver_path)

    def fetch_data(self, forecast, area):
        url = self._base_url.format(forecast=forecast, area=area)
        self._driver.get(url)

        if self._driver.title == '404 Not Found':
            error_message = ('Could not find the area that you '
                             'searching for')
            raise Exception(error_message)

        return self._driver.page_source

Let me know if that works for you.

Best regards

Dear Daniel, Thank you so much for leading me to the correct file (request.py) and solve the problem. There was a typo in my file because I have typed all the codes myself and did not just copy paste. Now, the app is working. Thank you once again for your prompt response. Regards, Syed
