GoodReads failing to find books that I know are on Goodreads because I can find them

mstrdraco commented 5 years ago

To help with identifying and fixing issues, please include as much information as possible, including:

LazyLibrarian version number (at the bottom of config page) Current Version: a4fd6e6241cb9cb8427ffd732fa53a6abd13a68b

Operating system used (windows)

Interface in use (bookstrap)

Which api (Goodreads)

Source of your LazyLibrarian installation (git, zip file, 3rd party package) zip

Relevant debug log with api keys and any passwords redacted

debug.zip

I'm getting errors saying that it can't find books when I know the books are there because I can find them manually on good read and if I hit the Goodreads link it finds them plus they show up in my Database?

2018-10-25 09:38:19	WARNING	Failed to match book [War of the Wilted] by [Amber Mitchell] in database
2018-10-25 09:38:19	WARNING	GoodReads doesn't know about War of the Wilted
2018-10-25 09:38:19	WARNING	Failed to match book [The Cruel Prince] by [Holly Black] in database

Please note - usually a single line of log is not sufficient. The lines just before the error occurs can give useful context and greatly assist with debugging.

There is a built-in debug log creator on the logs page which makes it easy to provide this information

To use it, first go to the log page and make sure debug logging is OFF
Now press the "Start debug log" button
Go and do whatever you need to recreate the error
Go back to the log page and press "Save debug log"
You can now turn debug logging off again if you want
The saved log file will be found in your lazylibrarian log directory called debug.zip
It will contain all lines logged since you pressed "Start debug log" with any passwords and api keys removed
Attach the zip file to your bug report.

Debug log only shows an rss search, not the log lines you posted. Would need to see a debug log of the libraryscan section so we can see what happened just before the warning messages. The messages seem to show the books are not already in the database, and when we try a second attempt to query goodreads for them goodreads can't find the books. Could be a fuzzy mis-match on the title or maybe a preferences issue or a connectivity problem, or a bad xml page.

Oddly enough I've cleared the log and restarted debugging and it's still showing the same thing not showing any new details it's showing stuff from the 21st? hmmm

philborman commented 5 years ago

It's fuzzy matching. You are getting 94% and 93% matches on those two titles, and your config.ini settings are set to reject if less than 95%
Simple fix is to reduce your setting in config.ini name_partial to 93. It's the extra bit in brackets that's longer than normal. [War of the Wilted (Garden of Thorns Series Book 2)] is 100% match War of the Wilted, but 6 extra words, 100 - 6 = 94

debug.zip I wiped out all logs and restarted lazy librarian and it looks to be logging properly now
