Pocket: "Failed to download article.... TypeError: expected string or buffer"

[ThomasPynchon]

Greetings! I am trying to use the recipe for Pocket for the first time, and am having difficulties.

The symptoms are that the download job completes, but there are no articles in book. I have double-checked my Pocket credentials.

The job log indicates that:

InputFormatPlugin: Recipe Input running
Downloading recipe urn: custom:1000
Synthesizing mastheadImage
Failed to download article: Slavoj Zizek-Bibliography/The Thing from Inner Space/Lacan Dot Com from https://getpocket.com/a/read/8290969
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/utils/threadpool.py", line 101, in run

File "<string>", line 140, in get_textview
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/re.py", line 146, in search
return _compile(pattern, flags).search(string)
TypeError: expected string or buffer

It looks like whatever is being returned is malformed? Also interesting that it includes the article name; this indicates that the correct credentials were passed to Pocket. I have experienced similar issues with Pocket+ recipe, and can post those logs as well, if they are useful.

Can anyone offer any insight, or would any fellow Pocket users try to replicate this issue on their machines?

Thank you!

That error indicates the markup on the pocket pages has changed, the recipe will need to be adapted accordingly.

Thanks for the confirmation!
