Error updating rosters #74

Closed weixiyen closed 10 years ago

weixiyen commented 10 years ago

Getting this when running update_players.run()

Perhaps NFL.com updated their page to have a different XML structure?

1/32 complete. (3.12%)Traceback (most recent call last):

Hmm. I'm actually not able to reproduce this error. Could you try running it again?

The player scraping tends to get a bit wonky during the offseason because there are a lot of players that haven't been assigned unique identifiers yet. In any case, it does proceed to completion for me.

I'm getting it consistently.

I'm on python 2.7.2 using nflgame 1.2.5, would that affect anything? Which version of python are you on?

Ok got something else, when I print the value of soup_row I get

It has no "td" tags in it. Looks like it's getting the incorrect row?

weixiyen commented 10 years ago

Ok inspecting further, this is what is happening. There are 2 tbody tags and you are getting the first one which is only the header row.

What you need is the 2nd tbody tag.

Output of soup.find(id='result') below from for row in soup.find(id='result').find('tbody').find_all('tr'):

Here's one that's agonstic to both of us and will work for both our cases:

        tbodys = soup.find(id='result').find_all('tbody')
        for row in tbodys[len(tbodys)-1].find_all('tr'):
            roster.append(meta_from_soup_row(team, row))
