Help needed in setting up TCAT commissioner

[RexPat]

We are attempting to setup TCAT commissioner in RPi, referring README.md
poetry install command was successful, but the following command ended up in the error, below is the screenshot of CLI

The import is being refered in base_commands.py#L34 and some other places too.

Error in above due to a missing reference. when checked there is no file named tlv.py was found in tlv folder.

Am i missing any step??

#9857 should fix the issue

@maciejbaczmanski Thank you. The PR fixed the issue.

When I tried running the commissioner code on a Raspberry Pi 4 B with Raspbian OS built from ot-br-posix, it failed due to issues with Bluetooth drivers. Attempts to install the drivers were unsuccessful as well. However, while using the latest official Raspbian OS (without otbr posix environment), the built-in Bluetooth was enabled, and I was able to discover the "Thread BLE" client dongle and other BLE devices too. Does the commissioner code require otbr-agent or ot-br-posix environment to work? What is the recommended environment to make the TCAT commissioner work?

@RexPat the commissioner doesn't require any of OTBR env. In fact it just requires Bluetooth capabilities on you device. We have been So all in all You can have two approaches in the cert environment. Either put a BLE interface accessible from host running the test env and use the commissioner natively, or put raspberry Pi with working BLE and commissioner into the test setup and communicate with it via eg. ssh.
