UnrecognizedInputFormatException using Chatterbot

Question

I'm getting an 'unrecognizedInputFormatException' while creating a Python Chatterbot instance. I'm using code based on the examples posted here. Here is the code:

from chatterbot import ChatBot


def main():
    from chatterbot.training.trainers import ChatterBotCorpusTrainer
    # create a new instance of a chatbot
    bot = ChatBot("proactive_response1",
              storage_adapter="chatterbot.adapters.storage.JsonDatabaseAdapter",
              logic_adapters=["chatterbot.adapters.logic.ClosestMatchAdapter"],
              input_adapter="chatterbot.adapters.input.VariableInputTypeAdapter",
              output_adapter="chatterbot.adapters.output.OutputFormatAdapter",
              output_format='text',
              database="../database.db"
              )

# set up machine learning training
    bot.set_trainer(ChatterBotCorpusTrainer)
    bot.train("chatterbot.corpus.english.proactive_corpus.proactive_response1")

print('Welcome , I\'m theProActive Response Bot, how are you today?')

while True:
    try:
        bot_input = bot.get_response(None)
        print(bot_input)

    # Press ctrl-c or ctrl-d on the keyboard to exit
    except (KeyboardInterrupt, EOFError, SystemExit):
        break


main()

And here is the stacktrace:

    Traceback (most recent call last):

input_type
Chatterbot.adapters.input.variable_input_type_adapter.UnrecognizedInputFormatException: "The type <class 'NoneType'> is not recognized as a valid input type."

Process finished with exit code 1

Try replacing bot.get_response(None) with bot.get_response('text') — Mike, Aug 15 '16 at 19:51
@Mike...that took care of the error. Thanks. I need another response from you so I can upvote you because I tried to upvote you twice and it un-voted it. — brohjoe, Aug 15 '16 at 20:02

I believe that you can try replacing

bot.get_response(None)

with

bot.get_response(user_input)

The "user_input" variable can be defined earlier
