I found a work around for now. For some reason, it seems like the extension loader pkg is loading en variables & including None in the list of paths passed to importlib.

I added a line to take out the ones that wont work in importlib

[deeleeramone]

Hmm.. I'm not able to reproduce. What versions do you have installed?

Sonoma 14.6.1

conda 24.9.1

importlib_metadata      8.5.0
openbb                  4.3.4
pip                     24.3.1

[deeleeramone]

What are the exact steps in recreating your complete environment?

[piiq]

@Chidifinance from the error log I assume that it starts failing when importing your user settings. Can you look into the ~/.openbb_platform folder and show the contents of your user_settings.json? You will need to remove the credentials before sharing

[piiq]

Also an output of pip listwould be helpful

Version of what?

[Chidifinance]

@Chidifinance from the error log I assume that it starts failing when importing your user settings. Can you look into the ~/.openbb_platform folder and show the contents of your user_settings.json? You will need to remove the credentials before sharing

{
"credentials": {},
"preferences": {},
"defaults": {
"commands": {}
}
}

This is what i see in the file. Moreover, something I noticed in the error is that it might be somehow loading my environ file. Cause the issue originates from when importlib is trying to find packages from paths. These paths are gotten from openbb somehow. Checking the paths holder which is a lost, I saw environ type & nonetype which shouldn't be there

[Chidifinance]

What are the exact steps in recreating your complete environment?

Literally just importing it. It's quite unstable so I really dunno how to produce it consistently. Idk if load_dotenv may be affecting it?

Also an output of pip listwould be helpful
