Exception: Could not find at URL https://www.languagetool.org/download/LanguageTool-5.4.zip.

Hi,

When trying to initialize Language Tool in Python code; tool = language_tool_python.LanguageTool('en-UK'),

the following exception is raised. Exception: Could not find at URL https://www.languagetool.org/download/LanguageTool-5.4.zip.

what is the work-around for this?

We are having the same issue. The docker image won't start in production. We install latest stable upon image build (which recently changed to 5.5), and then at runtime it's searching for 5.4, because this value is hardcoded.

Seems like the server started to return 403: if req.status_code == 403: # Not found on AWS

So sorry about this! I just pushed a new version (@PS-AI @rennenc) that bumps the version number to 5.5. Any idea how I can avoid this problem next time?

1. I suspect that the problem is that it fails to download this url from AWS: https://www.languagetool.org/download/LanguageTool-5.4.zip. Perhaps there's an issue is that 5.4 is no longer exposed when accessing from AWS?

2. We install the pre-requisite using this script: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/master/install.sh

We could have solved it by using versioned scripts (install_5-4.sh, install_5-5.sh, etc.). This way it won't bump automatically when you release, and our docker image will always be persistent.

Seems like the issue is not fixed. We upgraded the version, it now tries to download this zip: https://www.languagetool.org/download/LanguageTool-5.5.zip and still fails.

Seems like the issue is that the URL is not available to download when accessing from AWS. We get 403.

Ok, this is really weird. (Also seems to be an issue with LanguageTool, not language_tool_python.)

This happens from any AWS server?

You could try posting on the LT forum: https://forum.languagetool.org/

It fails locally as well on my end (with both the new and the old language_tool_python) while downloading works in the browser.

[jxmorris12]

Thanks. So the meat of the issue is that automated dowloads fail, via something like wget 'https://languagetool.org/download/LanguageTool-stable.zip' or from the python interpreter:

>>> import requests
>>> url = 'https://www.languagetool.org/download/LanguageTool-5.5.zip'
>>> requests.get(url)
<Response [403]>

yet going to the link in the browser works fine. It seems like they're trying to block automated downloads. I'm not sure what the best way to proceed from here is.

[rennenc]

Seems to be fixed now

[jxmorris12]

Thanks! This was scary.

I'm getting the same issue for Mac M1 on Safari 15.1

Could it be related with the user agents?

On Linux Mint under Brave Browser, seems to work fine.

[PS-AI]

@jxmorris12 The same error resurfaced again today. Is there a way to have the contents locally so that we do not depend on LT's server?

[jxmorris12]

Huh. I just checked and the download worked fine for me. It does seem like a user agent issue, but it's only intermittent. I'll reopen this while we track down the issue.

[jxmorris12]

Intermittent downloading issues seem fixed for now.
