Wall Street Journal Fetch Problems

tongsunpark · 02-22-2013, 10:31 AM

Using the standard English version of the WSJ fetch script. Everything has worked fine for months until this morning.
Now script errors out with Error Code 1. Any thoughts or ideas. I'm current on all the updates through last Friday. Using Version 0.9.19.

Excerpt from the error trace:

InputFormatPlugin: Recipe Input running
Using custom recipe
Python function terminated unexpectedly
no form matching nr 1 (Error Code: 1)
Traceback (most recent call last):

I am having the same Wall Street Journal Fetch problem as tongsunpark and for the same reason. The only thing I can add is that, before today, I have been having WSJ fetch problems each morning for about a week; but on those days if I ran the fetch again (maybe an hour later than when the initial failure occurred), the fetch completed successfully. So far today, however, all my fetch re-tries have failed. Also, a fetch using the standard English WSJ (free) fetch script worked fine. It's the paid subscription fetch script that is having the problem.

The wsj changed their login page to use javascript. I've updated the recipe accordingly. Make sure you are using the current calibre release (0.9.20) and you should be fine.

Retried several times. Anyone else have issues? Will try again tomorrow.
