OS Attribute Error while using Crawler

[jais001]

Hi, I am getting an OS attribute error while intializing Crawler locally in windows. Is there a way to solve this error?

haystack/haystack/nodes/connector/crawler.py

Line 104 in 5b0b338

IS_ROOT = True if os.geteuid() == 0 else False

The method os.geteuid() only works on Linux.

Similar issue: jupyterhub/repo2docker#889

In my opinion, this discussion should be converted into an issue, to be solved.

Done!

Hello @JaisVJ we just merged a PR that fixes the problem you reported. If you install Haystack from the main branch you should be able to use the Crawler on Windows thanks to @anakin87 🎉
