mergeparameters AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'move_to_end'

[corrpel]

Hello,
I am trying to use the merge tool for metadata, but i receive the following errors:

'''
pi@raspberrypi:~/phat $ mergeparameters dsc_phat.xml dsc_phat.params
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/hifiberrydsp/parser/xmlprofile.py", line 253, in update_metadata
beometa = self.doc["ROM"]["beometa"]
KeyError: 'beometa'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Running python3.9 and and latest dsptoolkit from pip

I just experienced the same problem. Two years ago when I last used the tool there was no such a problem. Maybe there is a problem with new python versions?

Just hit this issue myself, it is due to backwards compatible change in xmltodict v0.13 (xmltodict is dsptoolkit dependency)

Fix is simple: xmltodict.parse() needs additional parameter dict_constructor=OrderedDict. In parser/xmlprofile.py:

self.doc = xmltodict.parse(fd.read(), dict_constructor=OrderedDict)

Thanks for the reply. But where is the file when installed on my Raspberry Pi?

You can see it in the error message
