Can not start docker with conf.js

[mrzobot]

System information

• Have I written custom code (as opposed to using zenbot vanilla):
• OS Platform and Distribution (e.g., Linux Ubuntu 16.04):
• Zenbot version:
  $ docker-compose exec server zenbot --version
  4.0.5
• Python version:
  $ python --version
  Python 2.7.10
• Exact command to reproduce:
  docker-compose exec server zenbot buy gdax.BTC-USD --ptc=10

My conf.js is actually a directory, I tried removing it and renaming conf-sample.js to conf.js..
This is the error with conf.js

ERROR:
docker-compose exec server zenbot buy gdax.BTC-USD --ptc=10
/app/extensions/exchanges/gdax/exchange.js:21
throw new Error('please configure your GDAX credentials in conf.js')

This is the error with conf.js file vs dir.

You are trying to use conf.js and probably GDAX without having filled out credentials for GDAX.
Please see the README.

Wish that would be the case, but I placed my api key/secret/passphrase in conf-sample.js and renamed it to conf.js as well as copied to conf.js/dir

Remember this is docker..

I had the same issue and was solved by putting the api keys in conf-sample.js for gdax. dont know why it insists on checking this file for api keys instead of conf.js

@yang2lalang I have same issue still, with error above.

var c = module.exports = {}

// mongo configuration
c.mongo = {}
c.mongo.host = process.env.MONGODB_PORT_27017_TCP_ADDR || 'localhost'
c.mongo.port = 27017
c.mongo.db = 'zenbot4'
c.mongo.username = null
c.mongo.password = null
// when using mongodb replication, i.e. when running a mongodb cluster, you can define your replication set here; when you are not using replication (most of the users), just set it to `null` (default).
c.mongo.replicaSet = null

// default selector. only used if omitting [selector] argument from a command.
c.selector = 'gdax.BTC-USD'
// name of default trade strategy
c.strategy = 'trend_ema'

// Exchange API keys:

// to enable GDAX trading, enter your API credentials:
c.gdax = {}
c.gdax.key = '5513866..........'
c.gdax.b64secret = 'blahYAOGIqlP4y444513VitoTfy9dn85c0xXIhsomesad'
c.gdax.passphrase = 'gdaxphrasegoeshere'

do you have another config file in the zenbot root?

Try to call zenbot trade without the --config option

Try to simulate an error by changing something in all conf.js files you have to help you know exactly which of the config filename zenbot is using. This is the file where you put gdax credentials
