Okey, looks like we're looking for the avatar before we log in (that's the page we're on before the timeout error is thrown), why do we do that ?

[pierreminiggio]

I can't tell for certain if that's a normal thing that we check for this profile picture or not.

But we're getting a bit polluted by the logs (and in my implentation, any kind of log showing up is a prohibitive behaviour that breaks my process),

I'll provide a MR to add a logger implementation to choose where to send the logs to.

I'll keep the default settings the same way as it currently is, so that if people who wanna see the logs in their console aren't impacted by the changes.

Thanks for looking into this. I agree, this package needs to be refactored

Here is the MR that allows to divert the log output : https://github.com/fawazahmed0/youtube-uploader/pull/144

I got this error when the saved cookies happens not to allow one to stay connected. My first guess would be that the profile picture error probably happens when the cookies expires ?

@pierreminiggio I also encountered this error. Compiling the updated index.ts, upload.ts, types.ts files keeps reporting errors. Can you explain the steps to solve this problem in detail?，thanks

If you get error while compiling, that's a completely different problem. These logs are just errors that shows in the in the logs while executing the program.

I've no idea, I don't even know what the avatar checking is for.

You could look up previous MRs to understand why it is in place to get more context about that feature.
