It doesn't work recently!

[javadr]

Dear Dirk, Hi At first lots of thanks for making such a nice course downloader, Secondly it doesn't work for my recently. I used it few days ago but after updating my OS(Fedora 18) it doesn't work, e.g. when I wanted to download the scientificcomp-002 course I got the below error:

• Collecting downloadable content from http://class.coursera.org/scientificcomp-002/lecture/index Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/coursera-dl", line 9, in load_entry_point('coursera-dl==1.2.1', 'console_scripts', 'coursera-dl')() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/coursera_dl-1.2.1-py2.7.egg/courseradownloader/courseradownloader.py", line 472, in main d.download_course(cn,dest_dir=args.dest_dir) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/coursera_dl-1.2.1-py2.7.egg/courseradownloader/courseradownloader.py", line 194, in download_course (weeklyTopics, allClasses) = self.get_downloadable_content(course_url) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/coursera_dl-1.2.1-py2.7.egg/courseradownloader/courseradownloader.py", line 112, in get_downloadable_content hrefs = classResources.findAll('a') AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'findAll'

or as another example by downloading neuralnets-2012-001 course it produces:

• Collecting downloadable content from http://class.coursera.org/neuralnets-2012-001/lecture/index Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/coursera-dl", line 9, in load_entry_point('coursera-dl==1.2.1', 'console_scripts', 'coursera-dl')() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/coursera_dl-1.2.1-py2.7.egg/courseradownloader/courseradownloader.py", line 472, in main d.download_course(cn,dest_dir=args.dest_dir) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/coursera_dl-1.2.1-py2.7.egg/courseradownloader/courseradownloader.py", line 194, in download_course (weeklyTopics, allClasses) = self.get_downloadable_content(course_url) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/coursera_dl-1.2.1-py2.7.egg/courseradownloader/courseradownloader.py", line 116, in get_downloadable_content resourceLinks = [ (h['href'],None) for h in hrefs] File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/beautifulsoup4-4.1.3-py2.7.egg/bs4/element.py", line 879, in getitem return self.attrs[key]

Could you help me with this? Best

A quick test here shows it all works. Ensure you have the latest version. Did you accept the honour code for the class? You must do so manually on the site first.

I don't know why it didn't work by these days while I downloaded some courses before that! Today, I tested again and it works now. :+1: So thanks again for your nice effort.
