get error in testing pyrouge!

[85405115]

Hi,
My problem has been solved.
First I like to tell some basic explanations that may be helpful to the others that are new to summarization and ROUGE-1.5.5 and pyrouge...

pyrouge is a python interface to contact with ROUGE-1.5.5 package that is written in Perl.

So you should first download ROUGE-1.5.5 package.

After that, you should download the latest version of the pyrouge package by this command:
git clone https://github.com/bheinzerling/pyrouge

Now the pyrouge package has been downloaded and you should go to this directory:
cd pyrouge

Install the setup.py file in pyrouge folder by this command:
python setup.py install

pyrouge needs to know where is the path to ROUGE-1.5.5 in your computer by running this command:
pyrouge_set_rouge_path /path_to_ROUGE-1.5.5/
for example in my Ubuntu this is:
pyrouge_set_rouge_path.py /home/mahsa/ROUGE-1.5.5/

Now you should test the correctness of the installation by this command:
python -m pyrouge.test

But when I run this command I get an error and finally:

Ran 11 tests in 3.937s

FAILED (errors=3)

I paid attention to the error and i see this in my error:
Cannot open exception db file for reading: /home/mahsa/ROUGE-1.5.5/data/WordNet-2.0.exc.db

It means that WordNet-2.0.exc.db file can't be read.

To solve this problem I saw this link and it solved my problem.

cd data/WordNet-2.0-Exceptions/
rm WordNet-2.0.exc.db # only if exist
./buildExeptionDB.pl . exc WordNet-2.0.exc.db

cd ../
rm WordNet-2.0.exc.db # only if exist
ln -s WordNet-2.0-Exceptions/WordNet-2.0.exc.db WordNet-2.0.exc.db

It removes that file and reconstruct a new one. After that i run again python -m pyrouge.test and i get:

Ran 11 tests in 8.391s

OK
