Error while scraping Genesis/Megadrive games #19

Closed chriskostelec closed 11 years ago

Hey there. I was able to scrape the folder before, but now when I try to scrape I get this error:

Scanning folder..(/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/megadrive) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/pi/RetroPie/supplementary/ES-scraper/scraper.py", line 333, in scanFiles(ES_systems[i]) File "/home/pi/RetroPie/supplementary/ES-scraper/scraper.py", line 219, in scanFiles existinglist=ET.parse("gamelist.xml") File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 1183, in parse tree.parse(source, parser) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 657, in parse self._root = parser.close() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 1655, in close self._raiseerror(v) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 1507, in _raiseerror raise err xml.etree.ElementTree.ParseError: no element found: line 2, column 0

This is only if I create a blank gamelist.xml in the megadrive folder. If I don't, the scraper finds all the game art, but does not create and write into a gamelist.xml! There are no funky permissions set on the megadrive folder either. I'm at a loss!

Well, for some reason it must of been because of my enormous library. Once I moved and scraped 400 files at a time it worked just fine. Possibly just an issue of too many files?

The error is definitely related to the blank gamelist file but the scraper SHOULD save the xml just fine, no need to do that.

I should check its contents first to avoid that from happening though. Gonna fix that later.

Could you send me the full list of filenames, so I can create some dummy files and do some testing?

Here you go.

712 games added. Done! List saved on /home/pi/roms/segatest/gamelist.xml All done!

Can't seem to find anything wrong here.

Scraped all files, boxarts included and the gamelist was saved in the folder just fine.
