Command fails after build. Database location error?

[rpural]

No matter what command or options I specify I get something like the following:

(base) rpn01@R5057499 ~ 0 $ osxphotos --db ~/Pictures/Photos\ Library.photoslibrary/ info
Traceback (most recent call last):

I just cloned and built the program, so I'm not sure what I've done wrong...

Edit: fixed PyYAML package name
Looks like the error is from yaml.dump() not finding sort_keys option — try this:
python3 -m pip install --upgrade PyYAML
Then try to re-run python3 setup.py install

Note: you should do this in a virtual env. Alternatively, use pipx to install (see the README.md)

Note: You might also try this:
conda update --all

then attempt to install again. If you still have problems, let me know.

I think that the root cause of the original problem was that the photo library was empty. The computer wasn't logged in to my iCloud account. I haven't gotten back to testing with a photo in the database, but this may be enough to locate where in the code to test the edge case of an empty library and stop the program more gracefully.

[RhetTbull]

Thanks -- I'll build a test case for empty library and see if I can replicate your error.

I built a test case for empty database but was not able to replicate your error. In my test case, the empty database opens fine and returns 0 results as expected. See:

osxphotos/tests/test_empty_library_4_0.py

Lines 87 to 92 in 588ba4b

	def test_count():
	import osxphotos
	photosdb = osxphotos.PhotosDB(dbfile=PHOTOS_DB)
	photos = photosdb.photos()
	assert len(photos) == 0

Your error looks like a PyYAML error related to sort_keys which was added to PyYAML in 5.1 (yaml/pyyaml#254). Try updating PyYAML and see if you still get the error.

PyYAML >= 5.1.2 dependency added to setup.py and requirements.txt
