Crawler error

[moar55]

Hello there, I really like the idea of this cli-tool. However, i am getting this error when attempting to use it:

Running until canceled, check info.log for details...

I am guessing this happens because the site's html has changed

Dirty fix
Edit the crawler.py in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/wg_gesucht/crawler.py
On line 266 replace text-capitalise with panel-body
On line 267 replace ad_submitter.find('span') to ad_submitter.find('div', {'class': 'col-md-6','class':'text-right'})

On line 320 replace btn-orange with wgg_orange

I'm getting the same error, just with a different tag that's not found

"/Users/danijel/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/wg_gesucht/crawler.py", line 240, in process_filter_results post_date_link = result.find("td", {"class": "ang_spalte_datum"}).find("a")

@Pipazoul how did you proceed in finding out which class it is, that was replaced and what the new tag is?

[Pipazoul]

I've retested it, it still works maybe just try to replace the file crawler.py in your pip library path with this one
https://github.com/Pipazoul/wg-gesucht-crawler-cli/blob/master/wg_gesucht/crawler.py

To find the new classes i've searched the nearest class available in the html off a wg-gesucht ad
The crawler searches in the
panel panel-rhs-default rhs_contact_information hidden-sm class to get the posted date
And gets the url to send the message from the orange button btn btn-block btn-md wgg_orange

@moar55 Yeh they unfortunately change their site a lot, I've updated it recently, but it looks like you still have the older version, if you update with pip install --upgrade wg-gesucht-crawler-cli it should work

@sechsneun Do you have any Gesucht/Request filters saved on your profile? If you do the script will try search them and ang_spalte_datum tags won't be on the page (will be ges_spalte_datum).
try running the script with wg-gesucht-crawler-cli --filter-names="Name you gave the filter you saved"

@grantwilliams Understandable. Thank you for the tool neverthless :)
