'NoneType' object has no attribute 'encode'

[eqimd]

After installing the plugin with Neovim and Vim Plug and running :AirLatex, it gives error " 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'encode' ". Maybe I don't have some python dependencies installed? (except for those specified in the readme)

Short questions:

• If possible, could you please send me the complete error message? Typically there should be a file named AirLatex.log in the folder where you have started nvim.
• Did you use version I have just pushed to github? (Commit 48fb73f)

Yes, I re-installed the plugin but nothing happened.
I'm starting nvim from home folder and it doesn't create file AirLatex.log. I tried to do it in new folder, but it didn't help. And because I can't show the complete error message. Maybe there is another way?
Minimal init.vim:

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')

Plug 'da-h/AirLatex.vim', {'do': ':UpdateRemotePlugins'}

call plug#end()

let g:AirlatexDomain="www.overleaf.com"

I have indeed forgotten some of the python packages that are required.
I have just adapted the Readme.md to contain the missing requirements.

To let AirLatex generate the AirLatex.log files, please add let g:AirLatexLogLevel="DEBUG" to your vimrc file.
(I forgot to mention this, sorry).

However, I am still unsure about this error. What python version are you currently using?

[eqimd]

So, I have requests and pynvim installed, I thought maybe there are some other dependencies, but apparently not.
I'm using Python 3.8.5. version.
There's logs:

So...I solved the problem ;)
I noticed that browser_cookie3 tries to load cookie from Chrome, but I didn't have Chrome, only Firefox.
So, I installed Chrome, but nothing happened again.
Later, I logged in on oveleaf.com (on Chrome, I've been already logged in on Firefox) and now the plugin doesn't show the error message and it works as well.
I think it's kinda browser_cookie3 problems, and we should have an option to set another browser for cookies. Think this should be described in Readme.md.

Hi!

I just reproduced your error using Chromium Browser (I was using Firefox for testing).

It seems like for chromium, browser_cookie3 fails to retrieve the cookie file & encryption keys. However, I could not manage to configure the tool for chromium, yet.

[da-h]

Great, you solved the problem. 😅

Maybe I should switch directly to a keyring instead and let AirLatex do the login itself.

[eqimd]

But the problems doesn't end there :)
May I have your email or telegram or something to contact? Think creating new issues for all new problems isn't a good idea.

[da-h]

Sure, go ahead!
The issues on github are somewhat a project specific todo list for me.

I am very happy to receive help from users in the form of issues/feature requests.
I would very much like to at least make this project usable / bring it out of WIP status.
