Hive-Nectar v0.0.6 - WTF do you mean error?
Alright, pleased to announce a new release for the hive-nectar Python library today – version 0.0.6 is now out!
One of the long-standing frustrations many of us have probably encountered, particularly when dealing with the underlying beem nectar library or node interactions in general, has been the error messages. Let's be honest, sometimes they were vague, at best. When something went wrong, maybe a node acted up during a blockstream or an API call failed, you'd get an error, but figuring out the actual specific reason 'why' could sometimes feel like guesswork.
Well, I'm happy to report that this release makes significant strides in fixing that! Thanks to some absolutely awesome work contributed by @brianoflondon, the error handling in hive-nectar v0.0.6 is now far more verbose.
What does this mean for you? When (not if!) things go sideways now – maybe a node gives a bad response during a blockstream, or a transaction fails for a specific reason – you should get a much clearer, more informative error message telling you pretty much exactly what failed and why. No more scratching your head over cryptic responses when a node borks on you! We used to see nodes erroring out on blockstreams and not really know the root cause; now, those reasons should be much more apparent.
So, if you're using hive-nectar for your Python Hive projects, I definitely recommend updating to v0.0.6 to benefit from these clearer errors. It should make debugging quite a bit easier.
You can grab the latest version from PyPI as usual:
pip install --upgrade hive-nectar
And you can check out the code and release details on GitHub.
Hopefully, this makes building and troubleshooting your Hive applications with hive-nectar a smoother experience. A huge thanks again to @brianoflondon for tackling the error verbosity and making this significant improvement!

Thank you so much for doing that! While it seems logical and common sense that error messages would actually be informative, I've also found this not to be the case far more I'd like to admit. This will be a a major help for project devs! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
You get it! Thanks for that!
You're always very, brother, of course! I may not be a coder yet, but I've troubleshot lots of scripts and applications, so I certainly get it. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
Hopefully, I can put this into use to get this darn trading bot to make its transactions, or at least figure out why it's doing everything. Any input would be great. I really don't know what I'm missing, though. It's running and giving me no errors, but it's not processing on the Hive Engine side. The struggle is real, lol.

I put in a pull request with the fix if you want to see what is different. You were on the right path, wrong key. Also, it's the hive-nectar library you are wanting to use in place of beem, nectarengine does a lot of what you have coded automatically if you want to look into it at a later date. But for the transaction builder, signer, etc, it's hive-nectar
pip install hive-nectarand basically anything that used to saybeemreplace with nectar.I'm not exactly familiar with how GitHub works...
So we're removing the posting key...
and each bit of inputs would be "from hive.nectar input ______"
