Should it test if installed and/if not prompt the user via a distribution specific method? What about also supporting Xorg dummy devices instead? Perhaps support for Wayland?

A hello-world demonstration is needed for an application which might be connecting and using the IBAutomater.

• Mock config
• Create class, bind event handlers.
• Start IBGateway, Login.
• Print out logs to console. demo.exe
• Wait 30 seconds. Stop.

After version 974 of IB Gateway, IB re-introduced the automatic logoff every day thing that has plagued IB automation with TWS for ages.. now in IB Gateway latest (976 at this time) - It would be great if IBAutomater could support logging in again when this popup appears.

I am able to log in manually to IBGateway 978.

When I run the demo app, IBGateway pops up but I get an "invalid twsInfo" pop-up dialog in IBGateway. Prior to the pop-up, the IBGateway progress bar seems to make it about halfway. I get the following output to console from IBAutomator:

Most likely for myself and I would assume many others, they already have an IB API process running and don't need a new one started and logged into. Can IBAutomater detect, based on a port given, the directory provided and/or a process check. If there is one running, then connect to that one and don't start new.

The check could be done in Lean but as this is an automation tool I would assume the decision could be handled in here.

IBAutomater is point to TWS 974 and we might need to upgrade to TWS 978 because of CBOE ONE datafeed (see TWS 978 Release).

I have sent an email to Interactive Brokers asking whether this change is required since we use the latest IB Gateway version (10.19).

Hi,

I am running into the issue that it seems the automator cannot locate the switch for trading mode. The log is shown as following. Does anyone have similar experience before?

Thanks,

Hi guys,

Yesterday I have tested the changes in the IBAutomater after you merged #18 I see the issues that prevent me from running IBGateway with IBAutomater - gateway restarts. The gateway application goes down on the scheduled logoff/restart time even despite IBAutomater trying to change the restart time in the dialog.

Platform: Win 2012 (x64)

Steps to repro:

1. Schedule the IB gateway for the time T+3 hours (it did not work for me if I set T+1 hours).
2. Run IBAutomater.
3. In three hours IB gateway goes down without recovery.
   I have tried to reproduce this behavior by manually starting IB gateway, scheduling restart for T+3 hours, and trying to keep it alive, but it just restarts.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Wondering if it is possible to download prev versions of IB Gateway as a temporary solution for now?

Best regards,
Pavel

IBAutomater is set to try to connect to IB Gateway as early as Sunday 2 AM EST: IBAutomater.cs#L769
Some users are not awake by that time and will miss the 2FA request.

This restart could be configurable to attend to the user's timezone.

Example:
IBAutomater.bat C:\Jts 978 xxxx yyyyy paper 4002 c:\program files\common files\i4j_jres\1.8.0_152-tzdata2019c

this will fail with:

The system cannot find the path specified.

Currently, this popup window is not detected.

We should detect it via the "Enter security code" window title, add a window handler for it and log an appropriate message so client applications can be notified of this error condition.

Currently, IBAutomater only targets NET Framework 4.5. Would it be possible to support multi-targeting, so that it can be used from NET Standard projects as well?

1. The first step is that the .csproj would need to be modified to use be a SDK-style project instead of a MSBuild one. (PR #16 merged)
2. After that's done, then the .csproj can be changed from targeting net452 to netstandard20

Hello.
Thanks for awesome tool. I've looked into sources, and i understood that its a java program wrapper. I dont know C# and Java tools, and looking to do docker image for that wrapper.I need to know how to build this wrapper to work in docker image in headless mode, if thats possible.
Can you help me?

This GitHub Issue is created in Lean-CLI and IBAutomater because it has not been observed in QuantConnect Cloud or locally, only within Digital Ocean environment.

1. The algorithm crashes with a "no connected" message. the crash is raised, in general, at 5.00 AM UTC.
2. The algorithm is unable to connect with another paper-trading account. IB Gateway gets frozen for 15 mins and crashes because it is not able to connect.

Based on the syslog, it looks like the IBGateway process is still running but not responding, because, after the countdown popups, no other events are received (especially the usual Shutdown/OnExited message, which triggers the restart).

We can see the countdown starting after 2021-09-27T23:41:01.1807775Z:

2021-09-27T23:41:01.1924755Z TRACE:: InteractiveBrokersBrokerage.OnIbAutomaterOutputDataReceived(): Content: Set Auto Restart Time (HH:MM) The application will automatically restart in 4 minutes 30 seconds EXIT SESSION SETTING

After connected to the docker instance about 23.47 UTC, we confirmed that the java process which contains the IBGateway was running. In fact, the memory consumption of that process on top command was about 35% of the 1GB.

IB Gateway's launcher.log, we can verify that IBGateway did actually restart:

2021-09-29 23:45:22.662 [WR] INFO  [JTS-Main] - ------------------------------- IB GATEWAY RESTART --------------------------------

Ref.: QuantConnect/lean-cli#34

Running demo project, and "Settings will not be downloaded from the server because the feature has been temporarily disabled. " msg displayed, login hangs on.
Does this has any problems with my config or my account?
I've tried IBController, this does work.
