Wit.ai Parsing error

[Mahieedaboss]

@Mahieedaboss

Maybe I should have explained a bit more:

I was following the yt vid by HackerShack and got to the bit where he creates an app using wit.ai. In this, he presses New app+ and then types a name, description and as his bkup file, inserts wit_training_data.zip
this can be found at
https://github.com/HackerShackOfficial/AI-Smart-Mirror/tree/master/models
I pressed +create app and then the error popped up “failed parsing app.json”
I troubleshooted and found this:
https://github.com/wit-ai/wit/issues/1538
I try to change
“zip-command”: “zip smart-mirror.zip smart-mirror/app.json smart-mirror/entities/.json smart-mirror/actions.json smart-mirror/stories.json smart-mirror/expressions.json”,
to
“zip-command”: “zip smart-mirror.zip smart-mirror/app.json smart-mirror/entities/.json smart-mirror/actions.json smart-mirror/stories.json smart-mirror/expressions.json”,
but i still get the error notification. any suggestion?

Like many others, this change did not work.
I copied the saved contents off app.json into
https://jsonlint.com/
and the json was valid

what do i do??

Right,Update

I solved this issue

1.Extract files from “smart-mirror”
2.edit app.json:
{
“version” : 20160513,
“zip-command” : “zip smart-mirror.zip smart-mirror/app.json smart-mirror/entities/*.json smart-mirror/actions.json smart-mirror/stories.json smart-mirror/expressions.json”,
“data” : {
“name” : “smart-mirror”,
“description” : “smart mirror assistant”,
“lang” : “en”
}
}

BECOMES

{
“version” : 20160513,
“zip-command” : “zip smart-mirror.zip smart-mirror/app.json smart-mirror/entities/*.json smart-mirror/actions.json smart-mirror/stories.json smart-mirror/expressions.json”,
“data” : {
“name” : “smart-mirror”,
“description” : “smart mirror assistant”,
“lang” : “en”,
“timezone”: “Europe/London”
}
}

3. Compress the newly updated “smart-mirror” file
4. Do the whole wit.ai thing but insert this new zip

I’m pretty sure this should work

New problem

Failed parsing entities/

I guess we have to edit some more but what exactly??

@Mahieedaboss is the entities folder in the new zip file?
