add exception to attribute error #59

Closed 5u2ie closed 5 years ago

5u2ie commented 5 years ago

after saving about 6 threads the script stops with the error: 'str' object has no attribute 'tweet_id' probably just a matter of adding an exception but I don't have much experience with building binaries

Hi, I would like to know why the tool fails to find a tweet_id. Would you be able to identify a specific type of tweet in this conversation, that could cause the issue?

5u2ie commented 5 years ago

For the thread that's giving the error I also get the following:

Previous conversation not found. Creating a new one with incremental support. Begin of thread reached Total processed tweets: 828

Could it be that the thread is too long?

Mincka commented 5 years ago

No, it's not related to the size. The tool managed to download more than 120k in a single thread. It's always for this specific conversations and at 828 tweets that the script fails?

5u2ie commented 5 years ago

I ran it a few times, it worked for about 5 threads then it always got stuck at the same thread which I then deleted. Now it gets stuck at the first thread, which used to work with 'Total processed tweets: 0', but now it's giving an error:

Previous conversation not found. Creating a new one with incremental support. Begin of thread reached Total processed tweets: 1 writing conversation to path 'str' object has no attribute 'tweet_id'

Which version of the script / platform do you use? I would like to send you a updated version to confirm it will fix the issue for you.
