Raise Exception on username not found or at least handle it better #39

Closed philip-ulrich closed 3 years ago

philip-ulrich commented 3 years ago

I think we should raise an exception on this issue and not let the user continue. The reason being that it's not tracking any of the actions done and it leads to bad situations where users may have been followed by the script, but not tracked. Forcing a user to "unfollow any" in order to remove them - or do it manually. I can't think of any valid reasons why we would continue if we can't get their username.

If we do want to continue, we should at least safe it to an "undefined" user or something so that data isn't lost.

Thoughts?

We already do. Turns out I already thought of this during the refactor?
