Getting error: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'storage'

[kbose02]

I am running the below code:

from chatterbot import ChatBot #import the chatbot
from chatterbot.trainers import ListTrainer # Method to train chatterbot
from chatterbot.trainers import ChatterBotCorpusTrainer
import os

bot= ChatBot('Bot')
#bot.set_trainer(ListTrainer)
trainer = ListTrainer('Bot')

for files in os.listdir ('C:/Users/XXX/Desktop/chatterbot-corpus-master/chatterbot_corpus/data/english/'):
data = open ('C:/Users/XXX/Desktop/chatterbot-corpus-master/chatterbot_corpus/data/english/' +files, 'r').readlines()
trainer.train('Bot')

while True:
message =input('You:')
if message.strip() != 'Bye':
reply =bot.get_response(message)
print('ChatBot:',reply)
if message.strip() == 'Bye':
print('ChatBot: Bye')
break

I am getting the below error while running the code Test1.py:

I am using the latest version of chatterbot
C:\Users\XXX>python -m chatterbot --version
1.0.0

Hi @kbose02, I made a few changes to your code, try this:

from chatterbot import ChatBot #import the chatbot
from chatterbot.trainers import ChatterBotCorpusTrainer
import os

bot= ChatBot('Bot')
trainer = ChatterBotCorpusTrainer(bot)

corpus_path = 'C:/Users/XXX/Desktop/chatterbot-corpus-master/chatterbot_corpus/data/english/'

for file in os.listdir(corpus_path):
    trainer.train(corpus_path + file)

while True:
    message = input('You:')
    print(message)
    if message.strip() == 'Bye':
        print('ChatBot: Bye')
        break
    else:
        reply = bot.get_response(message)
        print('ChatBot:', reply)

Also, please make sure to download the latest copy of the corpus data. I have made changes that fix a few lines of invalid data.

Thanks.. I am able to run the bot now.
However, the following line always keeps coming up "No value for search_text was available on the provided input". Any idea how to suppress this.
++++++++++++
You:Hi
Hi
No value for search_text was available on the provided input
ChatBot: How are you doing?
You:I am doing fine
I am doing fine
No value for search_text was available on the provided input
ChatBot: Good Morning
You:Hello
Hello
++++++++++++

Similar to @capaximperii's response in gunthercox/ChatterBot#1589, you can set the following logging level to suppress that warning.

import logging
logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel(logging.CRITICAL)

I am not sure, this is not an error that I have encountered before. However, I was able to Google the error message that you encountered, and I found this Sack Overflow answer that look like it might help explain the error that you are seeing: https://stackoverflow.com/a/50868994/1547223

I hope this helps.

hey @gunthercox

I'm getting an error " No module named 'chatterbot_corpus' " for the same code.

Try to install chatterbot-corpus manually using following command
pip3 install chatterbot-corpus
