Sure, sorry about that.

macOS 11.6 (20G165)
Google Chrome: 95.0.4638.69 (Official Build) (x86_64)
ChromeDriver: 95.0.4638.69

I think I setup conda with python 3.8. I'll update to 3.8.5 and see if it makes any difference.

from bing_images.

Well, I found that Google Chrome was trying to update itself, so it was looking for the newer chrome driver when I ran the python script. So I updated Chrome, trashed the old drivers and downloaded the latest one and placed it in the PATH. Still got the same errors though.

I'm going to try to boot in safe mode and then reboot again to make sure nothing squirrely is going on. I'm now using the same version of python, Chrome and ChromeDriver as you are.

Okay, so I safe booted, ran daily weekly monthly maintenance cron jobs and restarted again. Have made some progress.

• single word searches work
• multiple word searches fail

This Works

from bing_images import bing

bing.download_images("cat",
                      100,
                      output_dir="/Users/me/Desktop/cat",
                      pool_size=10,
                      force_replace=True)

This errors out the same way as before

from bing_images import bing

bing.download_images("old cat",
                      100,
                      output_dir="/Users/me/Desktop/cat",
                      pool_size=10,
                      force_replace=True)

Using two words it does launch Chrome, the correct search terms are used, images load, page scrolls down, etc, but then the same error happens in terminal and it doesn't download anything.

I have tried it and everything is fine, as shown in the picture below.

Can you provide the error logs?

from bing_images.

@KeygenLLC I will close this issue temporarily, if you still have questions, you can reopen it again.

from bing_images.

Sorry for the delay. Been busy with other work.

strange. I have it in a virtual env so not sure what might be causing a conflict.

Which log do you need to see the output of? Just want to make sure I grab the correct one.

Thanks

from bing_images.

You can use conda to create a new environment to verify it, the code is as follows.

❯ conda create -n bing-images python=3.8.5
❯ conda activate bing-images
❯ pip install bing-images

if there is an error, please copy the error log here for communication.

from bing_images.

Will do. thanks

from bing_images.

Well, good news is it worked. :)

Not sure if it's because I had a lower version of python at first, or maybe the env just got corrupted somehow. I didn't install any other packages, so... idk. I tend to get weird behavior like this that turns out to be more like ghosts in the machine than actual bugs.

Either way, it is working. Thanks for the help and for the cool tool.
