urlwatch stopped working

[mortenivar]

I am using Arch Gnu/Linux packages in the following versions:

• urlwatch 2.28-1
• python 3.11.7-1
• python-yaml 6.0.1-2
• python-requests 2.31.0-1
• python-minidb 2.0.7-2
• python-lxml 4.9.2-3
• python-keyring 24.3.0-1
• python-cssselect 1.2.0-3
• python-appdirs 1.4.4-9

I believe this happened after an upgrade of python:

~/ % urlwatch

Do you know which of those packages were upgraded and what the old versions were?

[Jamstah]

Also, are you willing to share your urls yaml?

[thp]

One job in your jobs.yaml doesn't have any URL, the error message suggests it's this job:

filter:
- xpath: //section[@role="main"]
- html2text:
    body_width: 0
    ignore_images: true
    ignore_links: true
    inline_links: false
    method: pyhtml2text
    pad_tables: false
    single_line_break: true
    unicode_snob: true

This is also what the error message says:

Kind is not specified, and no job matches

@thp, that is exactly right. Sorry, you may close this. Thanks for the program!
