Missing Hangouts.json file error [solved]

[gotdown]

This was so helpful! I had to debug a problem where the script (or Windows or my Python environment?) used the Python program directory rather than the script directory as the working directory.

I don't know the cause, but I worked around it by copying my Hangouts.json file to the Python directory prior to running the script.

I had to change lines 6 & 7 to hardcode the location of my file:

HANGOUTS_JSON_FILE = 'C:\hangouts_to_sms-develop\Hangouts.json'
OUTPUT_FILE = "C:\hangouts_to_sms-develop\messages.xml"
