custom labels "value is not a valid list"

Hi,

I would like to specify a set of labels (not all yellow) for a custom recipe. I haven't figured out if I can do that from within the python file, but from the documentation (https://prodi.gy/docs/api-web-app#theme-highlight-colors) it seems I can do that from prodigy.json, which in my case looks like this:

{
  "theme": "spacy",
  "port": 3000,
  "db": "postgresql",
  "host": "0.0.0.0",
  "db_settings": {
    "postgresql": {
        ...blablabla...
    }
  },
  "labels": {
      "LABEL1": "#96abff",
      "LABEL2": "#ffd859",
      "LABEL3" : "#ffe1c7",
      "LABEL4": "#098765",
      "LABEL5": "#c0c0c0"
   }
}

However, I get the following error:
labels value is not a valid list

What's wrong with my configuration?

Cheers,
Riccardo

Oh, I think I figured that out. I misinterpreted the example, so basically the labels are not part of the main theme, but have to be defined under a "custom_theme". If I may suggest, the example in the documentation may reflect this fact, as it is now may be a bit confusing.

Yes, that's correct – sorry if that was confusing! The prodigy.json lets you define all kinds of settings for Prodigy, and one of them is a dict custom_theme with overrides for the theme. And one of the keys in there can be "labels", which maps label names to colours.

So that's what the docs here were trying to get across – but if you have a suggestion for how this could be clearer, let me know :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi Ines,

thanks for your reply. I must say with hindsight the example is clear. My two cents, I believe an example like this would make it more obvious where to place the custom_theme section:

{
  "theme": "spacy",
  "host": "0.0.0.0",
  ...
  "custom_theme": {
    "labels": {
      "VERB": "#ffa9b8",
      "PERSON": "#d1caff",
      "COREF": "#00ffff"
    }
  }
}
