I was adopting the workflow in developing this feature under AsyncAPI's community repository. While the workflow was running fine 3 weeks, it started showing the following issue. The workflow has workflow_dispatch event trigger being implemented.

Step to reproduce the bug / needs of a new feature

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run the workflow through a workflow_dispatch event.

Thanks for reporting this, I know this could be an intermittent issue as well as a long issue as it was for #87

Any more infos to debug it would be great as well as any contributions :) We are now trying to organizing our next conference (https://github.com/Schrodinger-Hat/osday/) and it's very time consuming that we might not be able to fix the issue.

I'm assigning this to @matevskial and @abe-101

Hey there! :wave: @derberg is one of the maintainers of the repository and I'm developing that workflow under his mentorship.

He suggested the following changes:

maybe https://github.com/Schrodinger-Hat/youtube-to-anchorfm/blob/342a55c7f1d72e18dc2d2f0af36edc13bd615667/src/anchorfm-pupeteer/index.js#L165C4-L166C29 is giving timeout, as probably the videos are to big and it just takes time.

maybe open PR to their action to change

await clickXpath(
  page,
  saveDraftOrPublishOrScheduleButtonDescription.xpath
);

to

await clickXpath(
  page,
  saveDraftOrPublishOrScheduleButtonDescription.xpath,
  {timeout: env.UPLOAD_TIMEOUT}
);

this will enable us to pass a custom much larger timeout through env variable. They already allow it with https://github.com/Schrodinger-Hat/youtube-to-anchorfm/blob/342a55c7f1d72e18dc2d2f0af36edc13bd615667/src/anchorfm-pupeteer/index.js#L123C5-L126C29 so I bet they will agree with your PR suggestion

How does this suggestion sounds? :eyes:

Oh, didn't knew that, no worries. Yes, it's difficult to give time on this issue when your hands are already full. Anyways, all the best for the conference :+1: :100:

cc: @matevskial @abe-101, I'm not well-versed in JavaScript as such so I can't contribute much to the code, but do let me know if there's any other things to help with. :+1:

@AnimeshKumar923

Hello and thanks for reporting the issue.

I am also using youtube-to-anchorfm personally at least 3 times a week and I have good news!

I am also able to reproduce the exact problem you have. So it also doesn't work for me :)

And I'll make the effort to fix this issue.

[matevskial]

I investigated a bit, and it seems podcasters for spotify(or anchor.fm) changed the flow for uploading episodes a bit.

I am going to rework the script.

[TheJoin95]

Thanks @matevskial to handle this!

[matevskial]

I made the PR.

Now the script should work most of the time.

Let me check it...

@matevskial

Just ran the workflow 2 times. Both were published successfully. 👍 🚀

[AnimeshKumar923]

@matevskial

Another warning I saw while the workflow was building was of Script deprecation warning. Thought about sharing it.

[matevskial]

Thanks for the information. I am closing this issue.

[AnimeshKumar923]

Thank you very much for solving the issue. :rocket: @matevskial
