Error loading group chat ...

[timm735]

hi =) this error pops up when i open one of my chats:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "skyperious\gui.py", line 5748, in load_chat File "skyperious\gui.py", line 8273, in Populate File "skyperious\gui.py", line 8070, in RefreshMessages File "skyperious\skypedata.py", line 1842, in parse File "skyperious\skypedata.py", line 2106, in parse_message_dom AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'

it's a very large chat, about 500000 messages. could it be an out of memory? so what exactly happens:

• synchronize history ends with no visuable error
• opening other smaller chats works
• now i open the big chat and i get this error. skyperious shows nothing of the chat
• when i try to open the other chats, they are now broken too (empty, no error message)
• exporting the big chat (csv) stops a month before the end (the years before are visuable)
• searching for the next, not exported message in the skyperious database view is succsessful

i hope this was a bit helpful? and thanks for this nice tool.

edit: the skype app shows all the missing messages edit2: latest version, 5.3 64bit stand-allone

This looks like a known issue, a problem not with size but with message parsing. It is already fixed in development, but I have not gotten around to making a new release yet. Hopefully I have time over the weekend to finally do so.

But in the meantime you could try this pre-release version: https://erki.lap.ee/stuff/skyperious_5.4.dev64_x64.exe.

Indeed, thank you very much. Bug: fixed You: hero

v5.4 has now been released as well.

[timm735]

Thank you very much for the reminder.

Hope you had some chilled holidays... Its the first time I used the v5.4 and I see exactly the same error-message like in v5.3 when I want to show or export a chat:

... File "skyperious\skypedata.py", line 1842, in parse File "skyperious\skypedata.py", line 2106, in parse_message_dom AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'

The previous Beta "skyperious_5.4.dev64_x64.exe" still works without any errors. You accidently uploaded the wrong exe? =)

[suurjaak]

Well, dammit. I have no idea how this happened, but indeed not all the newest code is in the release.

To avoid making yet another faulty release, can you verify if https://erki.lap.ee/stuff/skyperious_5.4.1_x64.exe works properly?

[timm735]

Ok, tested "skyperious_5.4.1_x64.exe" with the old, merged, large chat. It feels like if this works, your parsing-code is very stable =)

• Sync with "check older database chats" and "contact update": ok
• Showing the whole chat "from the beginning": ok
• Export "selected chat into individual file" (HTML with media-subfolder): ok - it produced a 174 MB HTML-file =)
• Export "selected chat into individual file" (CSV): ok

Thats what I use normally and it seems like parsing works perfect now. If you think I should test something else just post it.

[suurjaak]

Thank you, that is quite sufficient. Looks all good now, I've made a public release of v5.4.1.
