Login fails when PACER account is a filer account #9

Open pcbrannon opened 1 year ago

pcbrannon commented 1 year ago

We encountered an error when the account being used is a filer in PACER. For filers PACER throws a popup with a checkbox reminding them of their duty to redact certain information (example at https://www.nacdl.org/Content/CollectHowtoSearchPACER). The tool currently does not appear to anticipate this and at that point stalls then fails.

Hi there!

Thanks for the heads-up – this is indeed a dialog box we weren't aware of. Although I'm navigating via some degree of guesswork, given that I don't have filer credentials and thus can't debug locally, I've pushed a potential fix (to the repository, not the pip package); will you let me know whether or not it resolves the problem?

Even if the issue persists after this latest fix, it seems like a fairly simple bug, so I'd be happy to find a moment to sit down with you and iron it out in real time. Let me know if that would be of interest to you.

All best, Scott

Thanks! We will likely be able to test again with the filer account in January and I'll let you know what happens when we do that.
