Fetch broken?

[tekin]

It looks like the fetch action is broken so the events list is not getting auto-updated. I can't see what the issue might be, the logs suggest it's failing part way through executing bundle exec rake fetch_meetups

Hey @tekin, yeah sadly Meetup.com seems to have closed their API recently (probably has to do with their redesign of the website).

I've been working on updating it to use the RSS/iCal they provide, but sadly the data is not as rich.

Either way, this shouldn't break the import/fetch for the other Luma and iCal meetups. So maybe we should make it more robust going forward.

Huh, ok, I was confused because the latest NWRUG event happening next Thursday hasn’t appeared on the meetups page and assumed it was that action that updated the data. Is there another reason why our latest event isn’t listed?

[marcoroth]

Oh dang, I updated the meetups a few days ago but forgot to push 🤦🏼

Here's the latest commit with the meetups I fetched manually locally: 31a99b5

But I guess the next NWRUG is still missing 🤔 Manually fetching doesn't add a new one, weird.

Edit: Ah, I had more uncommited chances. Here we go: bfe1cf3

That's great, thanks Marco!

I hope we can move this over to RubyEvents.org very soon. It's the very last piece that we need to figure out how to automate

Happy to help if I can. Is there a plan/outline of what would need doing?
