TypeError: Cannot read property 'itemSectionRenderer' of undefined #22

Closed nloui closed 3 years ago

Describe the bug Running v2.0.5 but getting this error Failed to extract video data. Please report this issue on GitHub so it can be fixed.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: yarn add scrape-youtube include using promises:

    let output = await youtube.search(req.query.q, {
      page: req.query.page || 1
    })

yarn start

Results: Failed to extract video data. Please report this issue on GitHub so it can be fixed.

DrKain commented 3 years ago

For the sake of testing, what are the values to req.query.q and req.query.page?

nloui commented 3 years ago

req.query.q = "Trump" req.query.page = null, which after || = 1

DrKain commented 3 years ago

The page parameter is not used at the moment (a mistake by me, I'll add it in a few minutes) but the searches seem to be working fine for both my bot and local server.
You can set youtube.debug = true to verify the query string is being parsed correctly.

DrKain commented 3 years ago

Setting debug to true will also print the error, Please send that here too.

nloui commented 3 years ago

Thanks. Debugging printed this: TypeError: Cannot read property 'itemSectionRenderer' of undefined

btw - it would be great to be able to pass the "sp" property all the way through (my use case is to search uploads within X days)

I'll add an option to override the sp parameter. It's worth mentioning that youtube has a bizarre and slightly confusing system for filters but I'll definitely look into that.

Thanks for the error message, I'll look into this and get back to you

Would you mind if I provide you with an unofficial build to extract some more data for debugging?
It will just dump the page and json to two files that you can send to me for further examination.

nloui commented 3 years ago

Sure. Lmk the best way for you to send.

Here you go: https://github.com/DrKain/scrape-youtube/tree/issue-22
If you set youtube.dump = true it will create debug.json and debug.html when it encounters an error. Please upload the contents to dropbox or whatever hosting site you prefer so I can take a look.

nloui commented 3 years ago

Thanks. I'm getting a bunch of typescript errors when adding the repo directly to package.json. Any suggestions or possible to compile and publish to NPM?

DrKain commented 3 years ago

My mistake, I accidentally added tsconfig to the dependencies on that one. If you remove it should be fine.

DrKain commented 3 years ago

The lib directory is the one with the compiled code so you could just replace with what you already have

nloui commented 3 years ago

was able to get it running without removing tsconfig or using the lib folder. interestingly, this one outputs:

(node:25179) [DEP0066] DeprecationWarning: OutgoingMessage.prototype._headers is deprecated

no debug.json file created and dump.html just says: null

nloui commented 3 years ago

oh here we go - using /lib i do get the outputs... uploading files now

DrKain commented 3 years ago

I've published scrape-youtube@2.0.6, the issue should now be resolved. Please update and let me know if it's working now

nloui commented 3 years ago

Yep, works great. Thanks!

DrKain commented 3 years ago

No problem. Thanks for the help reporting and resolving the issue.
