"The New York Times" recipe fails

[NSILMike]

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'findAll'

[kovidgoyal]

whichnyt recipe?

[NSILMike]

The one in the thread title (which is why I put it in quotes.)

[kovidgoyal]

works for me

[NSILMike]

Not sure why but works now for me too... It's the std recipe, not customized at all, and it failed quickly with that error msg in my original post for at least a couple of days.

The web edition works for me, but the non-web edition failed for me yesterday and has not worked since. It fails within a few seconds of initiation. Here's the log.

I also have had no success with The New York Times recipe since October 30. I have the issue on a Windows 10 laptop running Calibre 64-bit and a Windows 7 PC running Calibre 32-bit. The other recipes I have tried including the Times web version work fine. I have tried uninstalling and deleting the Calibre folder before reinstalling. I also have tried disabling my antivirus programs (Webroot on Windows 10; Norton on Windows 7). I have no problem viewing the Times web site on any of my devices. Suggestions would be appreciated.
