The current node list is empty

[ghost]

I'm having troubles getting the data for this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.zooper.zwpro

The funny thing is, that it works fine with the free version of the same app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.zooper.zwfree

I have no idea, what the problem is. Any help is appreciated.

I can't reproduce it. Can you provide more information:

• The error stack trace
• Some excerpt of code that produces the error
• Your PHP version

Hi,

    [previous:Exception:private] =>

I'm currently running PHP 7.0.3. But also fails on 5.6.18.

            $scraper = new Scraper();
            $app = $scraper->getApp($id, $hl, $gl);

All other apps are working fine, except for this one.

Hi Whoknowsit,

I've been debugging this. It seems that at some point the HTML response for that app prints a NULL character, so the parsing of the document done by the DomCrawler component is interrupted and causes the error.

I've made a pull request with a fix to the Symfony repo symfony/symfony#18454

[ghost]

Thank you, that seems to fix it :)

[raulr]

Added a workaround for this bug in release 0.1.1.

[ghost]

Have the same problem with the actual version.

        $scraper = new Scraper();

        $app = $scraper->getApp('mm.grindulator_premium')

InvalidArgumentException : The current node list is empty. /home/markus/workspace/IALaravel/vendor/symfony/dom-crawler/Crawler.php:565 /home/markus/workspace/IALaravel/vendor/raulr/google-play-scraper/src/Scraper.php:114 /home/markus/workspace/IALaravel/tests/Feature/AppKiosk/ImportTest.php:68

Sometimes it works and sometimes I get the issue mentioned above.

I guess this has somethign to do with:

$info['title'] = $crawler->filter('[itemprop="name"] > div')->text();

should be $info['title'] = $crawler->filter('[itemprop="name"] > span')->text(); or better yet: $info['title'] = $crawler->filter('[itemprop="name"]')->children()->first()->text();
