foursquare job error

[visibilityspots]

Hi I got this error when trying to use the foursquare plugin

I just copied the erb file into my dashboard-project/jobs/ directory

All other plugins are working fine, did I missed a step?

scheduler caught exception:
undefined method []' for nil:NilClass */jobs/foursquare_venue.rb:25:inblock in <top (required)>'

I guess there’s something wrong when analyzing the scraped foursquare venue site. I’ll check that next week.

Hi, in the meantime I figured out another approach to get the foursquare informations using their api => https://github.com/visibilityspots/dashing-scripts. That way you don't rely on the sites html code..

Foursquare (DE) changed the "Total Visitors" text on their site to "Besucher insgesamt". You can fix the foursquare.rb script by changing the following line (23) from:
checkins_people = /rightColumn.+Total Visitors.+venueStatCount.+data-count="([\d.,]+)">.+venueStatCount/
to
checkins_people = /rightColumn.+Besucher insgesamt.+venueStatCount.+data-count="([\d.,]+)">.+venueStatCount/

@nickste thanks for the hint but maybe you want to change and test it yourself using the "edit" button on the file and and/or send a pull request with that change?

BTW: How do you test the dashboard? I’m having difficulties to run dashing start due to an issue in the event machine which is used and not compatible with the ruby i have on my max. Tipps appreciated.

@Ephigenia I've edited/tested and submitted the pull request.

I can't seem to recreate the error you're receiving. Do you get the same error when you create a clean dashing project with dashing new new_dash ?

I'm using Ruby 2.0.0 and Rails 4.0.0

@nickste thanks! I’ve managed to update my gems with gem update --system and after that I'm able to test the stuff again. I’ll check your pull request in the afternoon!
