twitter_user.rb error

[ghost]

I tried to use the twitter_user.rb file but I receive this error. Is something not right?

scheduler caught exception:
undefined method attributes' for nil:NilClass /home/pi/manch/jobs/twitter_user.rb:14:inblock in <top (required)>'

I'm seeing the same issue.

It looks like the issue is caused by Twitter changing their site layout. Replace lines 13 through 15 in twitter_user.rb with the following:

  tweets = doc.css('a[data-nav=tweets]').first.attributes['title'].value.split(' ').first
  followers = doc.css('a[data-nav=followers]').first.attributes['title'].value.split(' ').first
  following = doc.css('a[data-nav=following]').first.attributes['title'].value.split(' ').first

@mplewis thanks for the hint, i hope that works fine. Twitter and the other services might change their markup from time to time.
