how do I convert my command from 3.10.1 to 4.0.1

[Thonolanj]

using 3.10.1 my command is
lncrawl --single --suppress --all --format epub --filename-only -s "%1"

it results with these options
v3.10.1

❗ Input is suppressed

Namespace(log=None, log_file='./booklog.txt', list_sources=False, crawler=[], novel_page='....deleted....', query=None, login=None, output_formats=['epub'], add_source_url=False, single=True, multi=False, output_path=None, filename=None, filename_only=True, force=False, ignore=False, all=True, first=None, last=None, page=None, range=None, volumes=None, chapters=None, proxy_file=None, auto_proxy=False, bot=None, shard_id=0, shard_count=1, selenium_grid=None, server_host=None, server_port=None, server_watch=False, suppress=True, ignore_images=False, close_directly=False, extra={})

my script does a cd into my book folder, so old lncrawl saves the books into current folder. The new one saved into ~/.lncrawl/novels. That is on wrong file system

1. how do I specify the root of the book folder.
2. how do I not use any web/gui elements. I run on headless linux via ssh.

why do you want to run it in headless linux?

Thank you for writing and maintaining this great program!

As someone else who runs it on headless linux, I honestly do not get why you would want to run it anywhere else -- the fact it is a terminal app means you can run it without needing the overhead of starting up a graphical environment, and you can script it to do things like transfer a webpage to your eink reader automatically. :)

@Thonolanj I was using a similar command in a similar situation (also headless linux and with a particular destination folder in mind.) I ended wrapping a few lines around the command to override HOME to a temp folder while running it, move the created file, then clean up:

    tmpdir="$(mktemp -d  --suffix ".lncrawl")"
    destdir="$(pwd)"
    HOME="$tmpdir" lightnovel-crawler crawl --noin --format epub --all "$1" 
    find "$tmpdir" -name "*.epub" -exec mv "{}" "$destdir/" ';'
    if [ -n "$tmpdir" ] && [ -d "$tmpdir" ]; then 
        rm -rf "$tmpdir"
    fi  

I was also getting an Invalid cross-device link error going from my /tmp folder to ~/.lncrawl, so this solution worked around that issue to.

unless you are using this tool for automated batch crawling, this app doesn't need to run on headless linux. i am focusing more on regular users now, who are trying to get a few novels that only they would read.

[rickybrent]

It's your app. -- thanks again for writing it and sharing the code.

Personally, I just like to use the command line, rather than planning some kind of automated batch thing... but that's my use case. It's only natural to focus on how you'd use it yourself.
