[Dev] Not catching any pokemons or taking pokestops

[firzzen]

Expected Behavior

Bag full or not full, bot should catch pokemons when walking.

Actual Behavior

Bot says:

[22:23:17] Not spinning any forts as there aren't enough space. You might want to change your config to recycle more items if this message appears consistently.
[22:23:17] Not moving to any forts as there aren't enough space. You might want to change your config to recycle more items if this message appears consistently.

The bot just keeps walking and walking....

[22:38:03] Walking from (34.013863560994714, -118.4940364734424) to [34.013863560994714, -118.49466583492193] 0.06km
[22:38:10] Walking from (34.013863560994714, -118.49466583492193) to [34.01323051338843, -118.49466583492193] 0.07km

And keeps running to next pokestops but not catching any pokemons in the meantime.

The bot just keeps walking and walking....

[22:38:03] Walking from (34.013863560994714, -118.4940364734424) to [34.013863560994714, -118.49466583492193] 0.06km
[22:38:10] Walking from (34.013863560994714, -118.49466583492193) to [34.01323051338843, -118.49466583492193] 0.07km

Doing nothing else in between, only walking...

Same issue observed. After setting debug: true, I can only see some issue with protoc:
2016-08-04 01:17:30,819 [pgoapi.rpc_api] [DEBUG] Decode raw over protoc (protoc has to be in your PATH):
Couldn't find protoc in your environment OR other issue...

But Protoc is present in my PATH.

I'm not using any configs besides the modified config.json.pokemon.example. Should i be altering some other configs and running them as well?

Right now i've got three bots running with same configs (different location) and all have the same issue.

Please help!

[firzzen]

Ok i think this is related to the unstable servers at the moment because i'm running one other piece of software (with the same goal) as well and it has the same thing, just walking around and looking for pokemons but not finding anything.

Anyone else?

[tarpan2]

same for me

[ChrisHaPunkt]

same here,
http://ispokemongodownornot.com/

[jomarocas]

ok same here, any update of api

[Yutsa]

I have the same issue, the bot is just wandering without spinning forts or catching pokemons.

Walkin and walkin...
Same problem
I think need an upgrade.

[jcleigh]

I did a fresh pull of dev a few hours ago and it was working fine; now it is only walking like mentioned above.
