Broken?

[Efreak]

The generated credentials are brand new. I can log in thru the browser using them just fine (I'm unable to test them in other software such as 4pr0n/ripme due to changes in DA's website (see 4pr0n/ripme#425); I'm not sure if perhaps this issue is caused by the same changes?

If possible, may you provide the gallery link? Maybe pagination selector is not suited for every gallery...

[nonamethanks]

Really no gallery I've tried works.

[xofred]

I've tried http://oevrlord.deviantart.com/gallery/, it works. Remember to use GALLERY's PAGE, not author's page...

[xofred]

@nonamethanks Is it ok now? If everything is find, I would like to close this issue.

[nonamethanks]

Yes, if I use the /gallery/ url it works @xofred

[xofred]

Glad to hear it!

Requesting re-open.

I purged the install of this script, still not working.
Purged my Gems install, still not working.

ruby fetch.rb -n http://alexandrab24.deviantart.com/gallery/?catpath=/

[xofred]

Please try ruby fetch.rb -n http://alexandrab24.deviantart.com/gallery/ instead @vxbinaca

[vxbinaca]

Same result.

[xofred]

It has to be gallery's page such as http://alexandrab24.deviantart.com/gallery/, not http://alexandrab24.deviantart.com/ or anything else. @vxbinaca

[vxbinaca]

I ran the same command you did and got the same error.

[xofred]

@vxbinaca Could you provide the detailed error message, such as error line of code?

[vxbinaca]

@xofred ptrace? That's the output I got:

ruby fetch.rb -n "http://megasweet.deviantart.com/gallery/"

@vxbinaca Plz check out dev branch, it may solve the issue. And it can provide more error messages if not.

[1n5aN1aC]

I was having the same issue on my debian system, and the dev branch fixed it.

[1n5aN1aC]

EDIT: It's only fetching the first page (usually around 22 or so) then it thinks it's done. With or without the "/?catpath=/"

Tested on 4 different user's galleries, same results.

[xofred]

Without it. If it still not work, Could you provide the gallery link for me to debug? @1n5aN1aC

[1n5aN1aC]

Well, something like ruby fetch.rb USERNAME PASSWORD http://sangrde.deviantart.com/gallery/ begins to download, but starts at 1/22, and once it reaches 22/22, it just says "all downloads completed."

I've tried it on 3 other artists' galleries as well, and all of them I've tried so far, either with personal credential, or with -n seem to do the same thing.

[xofred]

Turns out to be an account setting issue. Please go to https://www.deviantart.com/settings/browsing. In "General Browsing" section, make sure "Display" as "24 Thumbnails per Page" and "Paging" as "Click through pages"

[1n5aN1aC]

Ahh, so "scroll through pages" isn't compatible. Makes sense, even if it is disappointing.

I'd suggest you add that tidbit to a FAQ somewhere, but it's solved for me!

[xofred]

Good point, README updated.

[vxbinaca]

Requesting a re-open this has cropped back up, or the open issue might possibly be a fix. Why he diff'd instead of a PR is beyond me.

[1n5aN1aC]

Sadly, can confirm. As of maybe a little over a week ago, even the dev branch is broken again.
Will provide output text / more information in a couple hours, assuming I don't forget.
