Crash While Trying to Download from Certain Subreddits #71

Closed MilkMan-Reborn closed 5 years ago

MilkMan-Reborn commented 5 years ago

I've been trying all day to download from a few subreddits and it crashes while it's... validating? I guess. It only happens when I'm trying to download from certain subreddits, and not others, which makes no sense to me. It's been crashing all day. Any idea how to fix this issue?

Can you submit your log files? You should be able to find them by going to File -> Open Save Location

Man, I was trying to figure out how to find my log files after reading up on other issues here. I'm going to assume this is the log?

It appears this issue is caused by trying to download posts that have been removed by reddit. When the posts are removed, they are missing some attributes that are used elsewhere when they are extracted and the downloader was not handling this gracefully.

This issue should be resolved now if you are building the project from source, otherwise it will be in the next release.

When will the next release be? Any idea? The last release was over a year ago.

I hadn't realized it had been over a year since the last one. We definitely have enough for a new release right now. I will start work on getting a new version out. I would expect it to be just before the new year.

Great! Can't wait!

Have you ever considered using a hosted continuous integration solution to automatically release upon a commit to master?

I believe Travis CI is free for open source projects.

Edit: Travis CI does not support building python on Windows. I will experiment to see if it is still possible on some other system.
