Exception met with certain queries

[jesuscc1993]

When sending certain queries the following exception is thrown:

TypeError: Parameter "url" must be a string, not undefined
    at Url.parse (url.js:88:11)
    at Object.urlParse [as parse] (url.js:82:5)

Example query: { query: 'ca', limit: 1 }

I'm having the same problem

There seems to be an issue if the first response is undefined. I fixed it by wrapping a condition around it to prevent this error. I am short on time at the moment, but I would love to explore why this is happening. Until then, here is a fix: go to:

\node_modules\google-search-scraper\index.js:102:27

Replace:

    var parsedUrl = url.parse(elemUrl.attr("href"), true);
    if (parsedUrl.pathname === '/url') {
      item['url'] = parsedUrl.query.q;
    }

with:

  if(elemUrl.attr("href")){
    var parsedUrl = url.parse(elemUrl.attr("href"), true);
    if (parsedUrl.pathname === '/url') {
      item['url'] = parsedUrl.query.q;
    }
  }
