IndexError: list index out of range

Getting error while calling client.get_news()

python3.6/site-packages/gnewsclient/gnewsclient.py", line 136, in scrape_feed
article['link'] = entry.link['href'].split('&url=')[1]
IndexError: list index out of range

Check current version. I run into the same issue and fixed it.

I guess the issue was in the following function of pymessegener in your fb bot.
bot.send_generic_message(sender_id, elements)
Error type': 'OAuthException'

bot.send_text_message(sender_id,elements[0]['title']) works fine.

@nprabhav i got the same error when I call gnews --query usa:

lib/python3.5/site-packages/gnewsclient/gnewsclient.py", line 136, in scrape_feed
    article['link'] = entry.link['href'].split('&url=')[1]

IndexError: list index out of range

how can I fix this?

trying your last hint, but can't find bot.send_generic_message(sender_id, elements) in code, could you give me more details of how to get it work? thanks.

[Nowado]

Are you working with current version from github?

49c3a74

If no, does this change fix it for you?

I didn't run into OAuthException at all however.

thanks for your quick reply @Nowado

before I describe my tryings, here is my env: ubuntu server 16, python3.5, pipenv 2018.11.26

here is what I tried:

1, install with pipenv install gnewsclient, I can gnews --config with good output, but when I gnews --query or anything else to actually read the news from google, the line 136 error shows up, which I mentioned last post here.

2, start a new pipenv folder, and install with pipenv install -e git+https://github.com/nikhilkumarsingh/gnewsclient#egg=gnewsclient, installation finished without any problem, but when I try gnews --config , it shows following error:

 File "/home/username/.local/share/virtualenvs/gn-x0_4Iz6_/src/gnewsclient/gnewsclient/gnewsclient.py", line 81
    print(f"{self.edition} edition not found.\n"
                                               ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

and of course, if I try gnews --query usa, same invalid syntax error shows and python stops.

3, start a new pipenv folder, and install with pipenv install -e git+https://github.com/nikhilkumarsingh/gnewsclient/tree/49c3a7443fd4f847ab06e1405e106ae310ae6538#egg=gnewsclient, which is I think will install the 49c3a74 commit, but I am unfamiliar with git, please correct me if I am wrong. :) , the installation is interrupted whenPinning VCS Packages and shows me error output as following:

pipenv.patched.notpip._internal.exceptions.InstallationError: Command "git clone -q https://github.com/nikhilkumarsingh/gnewsclient/tree/49c3a7443fd4f847ab06e1405e106ae310ae6538 /tmp/requirementslibg4s6vgnk/gnewsclient" failed with error code 128 in None

so, what should I do to install the 49c3a74 commit to my pipenv folder? thanks.

@2anyone There is problem in gnewsclient in retrieving the link of the article, what I did to make it run was I used a try except block, go to gnewsclient.py and insert the line 136 in try and in except you can set it to None.

@Nowado I was talking about your Facebook Messenger Bot.
bot.send_generic_message(sender_id, elements)
is not working.
I will open the issue in that repository.
