Detailed Explanation Of Your Highrise bot Launcher Script :
Header and Description
Python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
Quick launcher script for the Highrise bot.
This script helps you run the bot with your credentials.
"""
#!/usr/bin/env python3: This tells the system to use Python 3 to run the script, no matter where Python is installed.
Importing Modules
import sys
import subprocess
import os
sys: Provides access to system-level functions (not used here directly but may be useful in future).subprocess: Allows you to run external commands (like launching your bot).os: Helps with file and path operations (e.g., checking if your bot file exists).
Main Function Definition
def main():
- Defines the
main()function that contains the full logic for launching the bot. Python runs this function only when the script is directly executed.
Startup Print
print("🤖 Highrise Bot Launcher")
print("=" * 40)
- A simple welcome header.
("=" * 40)prints 40=signs to separate content visually.
Bot File Check
if not os.path.exists("my_highrise_bot.py"):
print("❌ Error: my_highrise_bot.py not found!")
print("Make sure you're in the correct directory.")
return
- Checks whether the
my_highrise_bot.pyfile exists in the same folder. - If it’s missing, it prints an error and stops the script early using
return.
Hardcoded Credentials
room_id = "Your Room Id"
api_token = "Your Bot Api Key"
- These are your pre-set Highrise room ID and API token, so you don’t have to enter them every time.
Credential Display
print("\n✅ Using saved credentials:")
print(f"🏠 Room ID: {room_id}")
print(f"🔑 API Token: {api_token[:10]}...")
- This prints the room ID and only the first 10 characters of the token (for privacy).
- Shows the user which credentials are being used.
Pause Before Launch
print(f"\n🚀 Auto-launching bot in 2 seconds...")
import time
time.sleep(2)
- Adds a 2-second delay to give the user a moment to review the credentials before launching.
import timeis done here locally (can also be imported at the top).
Try to Run the Bot
try:
print("\n🚀 Starting bot...")
print("📝 Bot output:")
print("-" * 40)
- A
tryblock is used to catch any errors that occur while launching the bot. - Displays some visual output before running the actual bot command.
Run Highrise Bot Using Subprocess
cmd = ["highrise", f"my_highrise_bot:Bot", room_id, api_token]
subprocess.run(cmd, check=True)
- Constructs a command list:
highrise my_highrise_bot:Bot <room_id> <api_token>. subprocess.run(..., check=True)executes the command and raises an error if it fails.
Handle Errors Gracefully
except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
print(f"\n❌ Error running bot: {e}")
print("\n🔧 Troubleshooting tips:")
print("1. Make sure you have installed: pip install highrise-bot-sdk==24.1.0")
print("2. Check your room ID and API token are correct")
print("3. Ensure you have permissions for the room")
- Catches errors from the bot command (like wrong token, room ID, or no SDK installed).
- Suggests common fixes.
Handle Keyboard Interrupt (Ctrl+C)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print("\n\n⏹️ Bot stopped by user.")
- If the user manually stops the bot using
Ctrl+C, this message is printed instead of a crash.
Handle Missing Command
except FileNotFoundError:
print("\n❌ Error: 'highrise' command not found!")
print("Please install the SDK first: pip install highrise-bot-sdk==24.1.0")
- This catches the case where the
highriseCLI tool is not installed and gives a direct fix.
Run the Main Function
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
- This makes sure the
main()function runs only if this script is executed directly (not imported as a module somewhere else).
Summary :
This script is a convenient auto-launcher for your Highrise bot. It:
- Checks for the bot file
- Uses hardcoded credentials for instant launch
- Runs the bot using the
highriseCLI- Handles missing files, bad credentials, and user interrupts gracefully
- Waits for 2 seconds before launch so you can confirm the details
