Two weeks without any new books

[ranrinc]

I have this problem with the script not downloading any books. Got error as attached. Help?

[mjenczmyk]

What command did you ran to get this output?

[InfoSecured]

I'm having the same exact issue. I'm running a bat file to execute the python script on Windows. Nothing has changed with the script for the past several months.

[mjenczmyk]

Do both of you have the newest version of the script?

@InfoSecured Do you use unmodified bat file from the repository? Do you run it manually or via schtasks?

@ranrinc How do you run this script? Manually or via cron/schtasks? What exact command do you run?

[InfoSecured]

I'm using your script via schtasks and the only line I modified is line 11 to say 'python packtPublishingFreeEbook.py -sgd' instead of 'python packtPublishingFreeEbook.py -gd'

I have an idea what could be the reason of this issue. Recently list of all user's ebooks in Packt account became paginated, if the ebook grabbed the day the script failed (as both of you reported) had already been in your account the script may have tried to download that day free learning ebook, but it wasn't on the first pagination page and the script couldn't find that ebook in your account - that was before merging my fix into master.

The issue should be fixed in 3069d8de0e4154acaeffa54de76e080cfbaea892 commit which already is on master - can you confirm that script works as expected on current master? Have I explained everything in understandable way?

BTW, could you take a look at #100 @InfoSecured? I'd like to finish this, but neither me, nor @igbt6 can verify if that works (and potentially fix this pull request), as we don't have access to machine with Windows. I'd really appreciate help with this pull request.

It appears that this worked!

@igbt6 Should we assume that the issue is resolved and can be closed?
