  • Can you send the command you are using
  • Does the default starter-algo work?

If the default starter-kit works for you, a reasonable way to find the issue is to strip away your changes and add your changes back to it one by one to identify what change is causing the breakage.

3

./run_match.ps1 algos/python-algo algos/python-algo is the comand and it also isnt working with the starter algo

4

I think the script expects to be run from the starterkit root. Try this for example:

scripts\run_match.ps1 java-algo/algo-target python-algo

While your working directory is the root of the starterkit.
Also, try downloading a fresh starterkit download.

If these suggestions dont work, you can try the python version of the script:

 py -3 run_match.py

p1-30-03-2021-14-26-27-1617107187392–273083257.replay (58.6 KB)
so i got it to run the matches with this comand: scripts\run_match.ps1 algos/python-algo algos/python-algo and a new startrekit but im getting those replay files and i think those mean the algos arent doing anything.it also still gives the same error

6

Did you try all of the suggestions given in a fresh starterkit? Based on the command you shared it seems like your directory structure was edited, as there is no ‘algos’ folder by default. I also don’t know what else has been edited, and have not been able to replicate the issue locally.

If you could try the suggestions above in a fresh starterkit and let me know what happens that would be the most helpful next step
