ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'No Content Found'

[GenieTim]

Thank you very much for this awesome tool. Unfortunately, I am having issues with the newest WordPress export (I did not find out whether they changed something). Anyways, for one, I get "Wrong date in {my title}" errors, from line 218, as all the dates are formatted like e.g. Mon, 17 Nov 2014 18:58:32 +0000. This is not as bad as the crash I get after this warning with the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "exitwp.py", line 382, in <module>
    write_jekyll(data, target_format)
  File "exitwp.py", line 306, in write_jekyll
    'wordpress_id': int(i['wp_id']),
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'No Content Found'

Unfortunately, I did not find an issue in my XML, there is the corresponding <wp:post_id> tag, no xmllint issues found. Can you give me a hint what to look out for? Thanks.

I have this exact issue at the moment.

Another person had a similar issue just 2 days ago: https://github.com/thomasf/exitwp/issues/79

Indeed, sorry, I seem to have picked a totally different focus than the other person, so I did not consider mine a duplicate, but upon closer inspection, you are right, this is a duplicate. Shall I close it?

Anyways, their idea with the namespace is a good point. Trying to find the error, I got to lines 127, to which we can add a

result = 'No Content Found For ' + ns[namespace] + tag
print(result)
print(vars(i))

, which results in the unfortunate

No Content Found For {http://wordpress.org/export/1.2/}post_id
{'text': '\n\t\t\t', 'attrib': {}, 'tag': 'item', 'tail': '\n\t', '_children': [<Element '{http://wordpress.org/export/1.2/}post_id' at 0x1101dc050>, ...]}

Unfortunate because I cannot explain the result; I fear a problem in the underlying xml.etree.ElementTree as this should be the correct selector apparently?!?

[GenieTim]

Okay, got it: changing #125 to result = (i.find(q, ns) or i.find(tag) or i.find(ns[namespace] + tag)).text.strip() apparently solved it. Not exactly sure how this is better, but what works, works. May I ask you @piavgh and @mettsal whether this solved the issue for you too so I could open a PR?

@GenieTim it worked for me! Build directory is now complete! Thanks a lot!

@GenieTim : It works for me also. Thank you for your time and effort
