Issue that the "Download button couldn't be found!" #24

Open qianqli opened 2 years ago

qianqli commented 2 years ago

Dear there,

I have a problem when running the script. I run the script: "python3 scrap.py -u ààà -p àààà -w", and got the error message about 30min later.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "scrap.py", line 79, in scrapper.download_packages('metadata_tsv') File "/Users/qianqian/gisaid-scrapper/gisaid_scrapper.py", line 278, in download_packages assert download is not None, "Download button couldn't be found!" AssertionError: Download button couldn't be found!

Could you help to give some solution?

Thanks Qianqian

Dear there,

I found out the problem: for some GISAID registers, the download packages are not available. You need to apply to access this part of the function.
