Lichess Bot not working?

[MarkZH]

The first error occurs when lichess-bot first tries to connect to lichess.org:

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 502 Server Error: Bad Gateway for url: https://lichess.org/api/token/test

The 502 error indicates something went wrong when connecting to https://lichess.org. Can you access lichess.org through a web browser?

Sorry for not replying for so long. I just noticed that the 502 error only happens in the recent.log file. In the old.log file, the problem is due to the greeting configuration.

greeting:
  hello: Hi! I'm {Wanda!}. Good luck! Type !help for a list of commands I can respond
    to.
  goodbye: Good game!
  hello_spectators: Hi! I'm {Wanda!}. Type !help for a list of commands I can respond
    to.
  goodbye_spectators: Thanks for watching!

First, the exclamation point needs to go outside the curly brackets: {Wanda}!. Next, instead of "Wanda", the name inside the curly bracket should be me. This variable will be filled in by the name of your bot's account.

I actually just now came back, so I did what you told me, and I'm probably doing something wrong, but it's still not working.

                         I think it might have to do with the _common.py file, supposedly on line 105? Not sure though. The greeting wont even show up, and I can indeed access lichess.

According to the logs, the greeting section of your config file doesn't work. Replace the greeting section with this:

greeting:
  hello: Hi! I'm {me}! Good luck! Type !help for a list of commands I can respond
    to.
  goodbye: Good game!
  hello_spectators: Hi! I'm {me}! Type !help for a list of commands I can respond
    to.
  goodbye_spectators: Thanks for watching!

Notice that {Wanda!} has been replaced by {me}! with the exclamation point moved outside the curly braces.

Another option: If you want your original message, delete the curly braces entirely.

greeting:
  hello: Hi! I'm Wanda! Good luck! Type !help for a list of commands I can respond
    to.
  goodbye: Good game!
  hello_spectators: Hi! I'm Wanda! Type !help for a list of commands I can respond
    to.
  goodbye_spectators: Thanks for watching!
