<![CDATA[Install MMM-GoogleAssistant on windows, error: argument --credentials: No such file or directory: "***credentials.json"]]>Hi,

I installed Google Assistant on windows 10 and pass audio and push to talk test, now I got error at the last step:
assistant.py: error: argument --credentials: No such file or directory: “/c/Users/myname/AppData/Roaming/google-oauthlib-tool/credentials.json”
I checked this path, I do have credentials.json there.
And I tried to modify this part in MMM-GoogleAssistant/pi/assistant.py,
def init_googleAssistant():
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
formatter_class=argparse.RawTextHelpFormatter)
parser.add_argument(‘–credentials’, type=existing_file,
metavar=‘OAUTH2_CREDENTIALS_FILE’,
default=‘/c/Users/vellm/AppData/Roaming/google-oauthlib-tool/credentials.json’,
#default=os.path.join(
# os.path.expanduser(“~”), #/AppData/Roaming/google-oauthlib-tool/credentials.json
# ‘google-oauthlib-tool’,
# ‘credentials.json’
#),
help=‘Path to store and read OAuth2 credentials’)
I think the issue happened in this line, but I cannot solve it:
default=‘/c/Users/vellm/AppData/Roaming/google-oauthlib-tool/credentials.json’,

Anyone can tell me how to solve it?
Thanks!

  • virtualbox
  • download linux debian and install it in virtualbox
  • install magicmirror and modules :)

result:

  • full emulation of linux machine
  • all package is compatible with debian because rapsbian Os is make is a modified debian version
  • snowboy works (but not sure this wersion of this module works… because google make a lot of library update)

at begining, i have coded with this method ;)

so i prefer say this: actually there is no way to work under windows environement

I suspect the voice reco tool, snowboy, still does not work on windows
