I am french and i will do my best in english
I bought prodigy yesterday, installation worked but prodigy.json is not present.
I tried to create it but when i start :
python3.6 -m prodigy news_headlines test_dataset “Silicon Valley” -F /home/a.dumas/python/code/prodigy/recipe_test.py
if i create my own prodigy.json file :
Traceback (most recent call last):

if not => prodigy say “Error : Can’t fetch project and tasks, make sure the server is running correctly”
Thanks for the report! I think the problem here is that Prodigy will look for a .prodigy directory in your user home that contains a file prodigy.json. If it doesn't exist, Prodigy will try to create it – and for some reason, this seems to fail in your case. (Maybe it's something related to user permissions?) You can always use the PRODIGY_HOME environment variable to specify a custom home directory for Prodigy.
Did you copy-paste the prodjgy.json defaults from the docs? I think we made a mistake in our prodigy.json docs and/or the way the server reads in this value of "instructions". So if your prodigy.json has "instructions": false or something similar, try removing that!
We currently check if "instructions" exists and then assume it's a file – instead, we should check if it exists and is a string (and not false) before using it. That's why it fails on this line:
