When I created a bot, I ran into an error b/c it couldn't find a conf_client.yml file. I looked at the code in docker_manager.py and it appears that it should be copying a conf_client.yml file from the /data_downloader/conf folder and changing instance name to the name provided by the user. Therefore, I added a commit to add this conf_client.yml file.

Afterwards, I was able to use the broker to create an instance. However, when I attached to it, it didn't print a MQTT Connected message as in the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKnWRpq9qW8).

I see this error in the Dashboard:

I suspect my broker isn't connected to the bot

@fengtality I think you need to run mqtt start in the client instance manually. It looks like the bot doesn't automatically start mqtt when it starts up. There's an mqtt autostart config but it looks like it's set to False by default.

After the last commit, bot instances should now auto-connect to Broker, allowing you to test the strategy start/stop controls.

To test a script, copy simple_pmm_example.py into the hummingbot_files/bot-configs/[instance-name]/conf/strategies folder.

You may need to stop and start the instance, the bot can only access script available at startup.

Afterwards, you should be able to start, get status, and stop the script from the dashboard!

Latest commit 1658290:

Test performed:

• Created bot1,bot2,bot3 successfully using dashboard
• Review user could stop and exit bots successfully
• started dca_example.py using dashboard successfully
• created bot1, bot2, bot3 successfully
• started dca_example.py using dashboard successfully
• check status successfully
• attached bot1,bot2 review script actually running
• copy simple_pmm_example.py to hummingbot_files\bot_configs\hummingbot-bot3\conf\strategies folder
• started successfully and review status

redundant .yml file in strategy start:
Steps:

1. copy papertrade.yml strategy to hummingbot_files\bot_configs\hummingbot-bot3\conf\strategies folder
2. exit and start the bot3
3. Run strategy from dashboard

failed to start the .yml file from dashboard

In the client:

to previous bug:
if you Enter without .yml Client will import the startegy but failed to Run/start it

Steps:
copy paper.yml strategy to hummingbot_files\bot_configs\hummingbot-bot3\conf\strategies folder
exit and start the bot3
Run strategy from dashboard (without typing .yml, i.e. for paper)
