Error with Users/Channels file

[digital1dragon]

After pulling a full backup from Slack, I'm faced with the following error.

Nate-mBP:~ nroy$ slack-export-viewer --no-external-references -z ~/Downloads/SlackExports/Test/ Archive already extracted. Viewing from /Users/nroylance/Downloads/SlackExports/Test...

The work around is adding the KeyError user to the Users file but I'm not sure how many more of these there are. I've gone through 38 of these users so far. Are these users from another workspace?

@digital1dragon Do you mind using a debugger and adding a breakpoint at this line and check what self.__USER_DATA contains and compare it to the values in mpim["members"]?

I can also debug this myself but I would need to use your dataset because I don't see the same exception with the (relatively old) test dataset that I have. So I would prefer if you took a few minutes to step through this with PyCharm or something.

I say this casually, but I suppose I've experienced this. I can't remember the details, It might have been bots, deleted users, or inactive users. I'll check it.

Slack sometimes changes it's export format, so telling us the starting date of your export will be helpful.

I recently encountered the same issue. The PR #139 solves it for me.
