simplebot init fails with "AssertionError: plugin is not registered"

[sysfu]

I'm following the guide posted in the Delta Chat support forum here.

After attempting to initialize the bot it fails with the "AssertionError: plugin is not registered" traceback.

I have reproduced this issue on gentoo, guix and ubuntu systems which have the latest updates.

Same

hello, (sorry the late reply @sysfu, @nudeldudel) I fixed the issue and released v4.1.2 to upgrade:

pip install -U simplebot

then try again and the simplebot init step will work now

note: if you are looking into creating new bots, don't use simplebot library, use this library instead: https://github.com/deltachat-bot/deltabot-cli-py, only use simplebot if your intention is to host some bot with a simplebot plugin that already exist
