I'm using quickfix with python bindings. Upon initialization while using FIX44.xml
I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\dev\my_proj\quickfix_app.py", line 1227, in start_app
initiator = fix.SocketInitiator(self, storeFactory, settings, logFactory )
File "C:\Users\Me\virtual_environments\my_env\lib\site-packages\quickfix.py", line 34432, in __init__
SocketInitiatorBase.__init__(self, application, storeFactory, settings, logFactory)
File "C:\Users\Me\virtual_environments\my_env\lib\site-packages\quickfix.py", line 34316, in __init__
this = _quickfix.new_SocketInitiatorBase(*args)
ConfigError: Configuration failed: FIX44.xml: Configuration failed: <message> contains no fields
The error originates from the last line in the following code:
settings = fix.SessionSettings('FIX44.xml')
storeFactory = fix.FileStoreFactory( settings )
logFactory = fix.ScreenLogFactory(settings)
initiator = fix.SocketInitiator(self, storeFactory, settings, logFactory )
I get the same error for using FIX43.xml
, however FIX42.xml
works fine. These xml files check out using an XML validator. As I'm using example xml files from the quickfix site I doubt the problem is with the files.
What could cause this error?
