Python Watchdog TypeError：“ bool” object is not iterable

I am writing a script to check for any modifications in a given CSV file and am trying to use watchdog to do this. Following the (almost identical) example from this site, I have the following code:

import time
from watchdog.observers import Observer
from watchdog.events import PatternMatchingEventHandler

def on_deleted(event):
    print(f"what the f**k! Someone deleted {event.src_path}!")

def on_modified(event):
    print(f"hey buddy, {event.src_path} has been modified")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    patterns = ["meetingschedule.csv"]
    ignore_directories = True
    case_sensitive = True
    my_event_handler = PatternMatchingEventHandler(patterns, ignore_directories, case_sensitive)

    my_event_handler.on_deleted = on_deleted
    my_event_handler.on_modified = on_modified

    path = "E:\\COPY\\APPs\\ZoomAutoLog\\Zoommeeting-main\\Ext_Tools\\"
    my_observer = Observer()
    my_observer.schedule(my_event_handler, path)

    my_observer.start()
    print('Watchdog is Monitoring now...')
    try:
        while True:
            time.sleep(1)
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print('Stopping Watchdog...')
        my_observer.stop()
        my_observer.join()

When I add a file or directory to watchfolder, I get a TypeError: 'bool' object is not iterable. Here's the traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: 'bool' object is not iterable

I have tried changing the type of the go_recursively variable to str and tuple and I get the same error. I've also tried setting the recursive argument directly to True and get the same error. Even I tried to google any relevant info on this error but found none. I'd appreciate the help!

The problem is that ignore_directories is the 3rd parameter to PatternMatchingEventHandler, not the 2nd. You're passing that value as ignore_patterns, which is expected to be a list. You can either supply the missing positional param:

my_event_handler = PatternMatchingEventHandler(patterns, None, ignore_directories, case_sensitive)

Or go keyword:

my_event_handler = PatternMatchingEventHandler(patterns, ignore_directories=ignore_directories, case_sensitive=case_sensitive)
