Contributing

If you want to help and add a new feature, you can create a pull request to merge in the develop branch and not in the master. As the name says, the develop branch is for developing where we'll add new features, with your help; instead we'll update the master every now and then, and from that we'll release a new jar.

Known issues

I got BUILD FAILED

Most of the time it's because the you didn't execute step 2 of the README.

After that, just try gradlew clean build.

If there's still a problem, open an issue.

The bot doesn't catch Pokemon

Currently not reproducible so can't be reliably fixed. Look here for some people that managed to get it fixed: jabbink#21

Some possible issues:

• Make sure your system time is (semi-)correct (let it autosync with an online server)
• Make sure the mobile app is not on (kill the process if need be)
• Make sure the account you're botting on did do the initial tutorial (mainly catching a starter Pokemon)

Immediately after starting I get a LoginFailedException

• Make sure the provided credentials in the config.properties file are correct.
• If you're using PTC, your credentials are correct and your password is longer than 15 characters, only enter the first 15 characters of your account and the login should work.
• If there is a token present, remove it and retry.

After 1.5 hours I get a errors with Google login

Known issue with the Java API handling login for Google.

I get a RemoteServerException or something about "502"

The Pokemon Go servers are offline/too busy. Check IsPokemonGoDownOrNot.com

The GUI only loads the command line.

Separate the windows as they're conjoined together.

Where did the GUI go?

The GUI is now hosted on http://pogo.abb.ink/RocketTheme/

This URL is also shown in the console when you launch the bot.

The bot refuses to login to my Google account

Make sure you enter the full emailaddress (including @) in the username= property.

Error: unable to access jarfile xxxxx

Make sure you are working in the directory where the JAR file is located

CreateProcess error=206, The filename or extension is too long

Known Windows issue, build the bot from a directory close to rootdir eg. C:\pogobot\

FileNotFoundException: config.properties (No such file or directory)

Make sure windows didn't add .txt to the filename.
