Error loop "XML for ... is wrong" #26

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

Apparently this error is quite frequent with some characters. This starts a 
neverending loop, see e.g. http://p.defau.lt/?vUHNXKoaCOfNkeor_0HmCg
I removed that title from the title list and resumed the dump; the following 
pages were not downloaded, perhaps because they were invalid: 
http://p.defau.lt/?KeDck2rQZqGlp9MWmYmB_Q 
Could those (invalid?) titles be the actual problem behind the error?

I don't think it is due to weird chars.

Look at the edit history for that page (is it a big history?) and try to export 
it handy using Special:Export (and open the result XML file). All is OK?

I tried an export with "Être et Temps", then with "Être et Temps" and all 
following titles, then only with following titles. If "Être et Temps" is 
included the xml is invalid. The history has only one, big revision (1,389,912 
bytes): http://www.wikinfo.org/index.php?title=%C3%8Atre_et_Temps&action=history
Is that size really enough to give problems?

If you have problems while trying to handy-export that article using 
Special:Export, then it is not a dumpgenerator.py problem. Although I have 
exported it handy without problems now. Try again, --resume. Server may be 
overloaded from time to time (and slowest ones have problems exporting huge 
revisions; PHP errors).

So, changing this bug: the problem is the infinite loop.
getXMLPageCore, after 5 retries, calls getXMLPageCore again for the last 
revision only, which will fail again and call getXMLPageCore again and again.

To forget about this very annoying issue, I just added sys.exit() right after 
"if c >= maxretries:" in dumpgenerator.py. Then launcher.py makes it continue 
to the next wiki of the list. Brute force workaround...
