NameError: name 'group_id' is not defined about fansly-downloader HOT 3 CLOSED

Getting the below error when running the standalone executable. Running the application on a Windows 10 Virtual Machine in the root of the drive I am saving the data to's directory. Tried running as admin, compatibility mode, etc, did I miss a prerequisite download or something?

Info | 15:30 || Creating download directories ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "fansly_scraper.py", line 234, in NameError: name 'group_id' is not defined [6680] Failed to execute script 'fansly_scraper' due to unhandled exception!

No, this is an issue with downloading content from messages. In the code I wrote setting group id to None after trying to loop over a couple messages. https://github.com/Avnsx/fansly/blob/b7ab00d376e2537640b99ca613c9521f3def2003/fansly_scraper.py#L232

I did not test this thesis yet, but this most likely happend, because you created a entirely new fansly account which has not received a single message (not even any automated message) from any creator at all, which caused the variable to never get set to None & instead just don't exist and when line 234 tried to interact with a unset variable it just crashed due to a NameError.

You can fix this temporarily by following a couple creators until one of them messages you, I'll publish an update soon which fixes a couple bugs including this one.

If that doesn't work use version 0.2 instead, it's the previous release which did not have compability for messages scraping yet, which means the bug doesn't exist in 0.2

Update: verified my thesis, I was correct. I fixed it in my developer verison. Will soon publish update

from fansly-downloader.

Fixed with version 0.3.1
