Can't login #4

Open spacemud opened 7 years ago

I get an error message when attempting to login:

2017/05/02 20:48:47 https://laracasts.com/sessions returned wrong status code: 500, expected 200

My details are correct.

The problem is in the GetToken function which scrap the csrf token from the login page, I am no expert in go but after checking the source code, I found that you are still using the baseUrl as your target, which is wrong because the login page is under baseUrl/login, then there is the token, I don't know why using the gjuery something package, and because I didn't understand what you are doing by "find(login-button[token]) line I rewrote the function using body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body) then convert the bytes array to a string like bodyString := string(body[:]) then using regex to get the token

tokenValue := regexp.MustCompile(`[0-9a-zA-Z]{40,50}`)
token := tokenValue.FindString(bodyString)

And that's it

That seems to fix the login issue, yes. Unfortunately I think Laracasts has updated the site since this was released, which breaks other parts of the script that also depend on scraping.
