Error while listing for found caches "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'find_next'"

[MZCacheHunter]

Hi there,

I just tried to use the example code for listing my own found caches:

import pycaching
from pycaching.log import Type as log_type

geocaching = pycaching.login()
for find in geocaching.my_finds(limit=5):
    print(find.name)
geocaching.logout()

Resulting in:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./pycache-found-logs.py", line 8, in <module>
    for find in geocaching.my_finds(limit=5):
  File "/Users/michael/Library/Python/3.7/lib/python/site-packages/pycaching/geocaching.py", line 530, in my_logs
    current_cache = self._try_getting_cache_from_guid(guid)
  File "/Users/michael/Library/Python/3.7/lib/python/site-packages/pycaching/geocaching.py", line 499, in _try_getting_cache_from_guid
    return self.get_cache(guid=guid)
  File "/Users/michael/Library/Python/3.7/lib/python/site-packages/pycaching/geocaching.py", line 465, in get_cache
    return self._cache_from_guid(guid)
  File "/Users/michael/Library/Python/3.7/lib/python/site-packages/pycaching/geocaching.py", line 491, in _cache_from_guid
    return Cache._from_print_page(self, guid, print_page)
  File "/Users/michael/Library/Python/3.7/lib/python/site-packages/pycaching/cache.py", line 157, in _from_print_page
    **cache_info["summary"] = content.find("h2", text="Short Description").find_next("div").text
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'find_next'**

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for your report.

The parser usually expects the language to be set to English. Is this set correctly in your case? Otherwise, please try to check/debug which GC code/GUID actually causes this issue (this might be another edge case as well).

[MZCacheHunter]

Sorry for the confusion caused. There was another userID in the first line of my .gc_credentials file. That user's language settings weren't set to English.
Embarrassed, I feel ashamed of myself. Sorry.

No problem, glad that this turned out to be a usage error instead of one with the library.

Still, the learning for us may be to add something like:

assert page.find_by_id("some-pre-known-element").get_text() == "Expected English label", "Pycaching expects English ...."

What do you think, @FriedrichFroebel ?

@tomasbedrich As we are currently doing some more changes to the code anyway, we might want to tackle #136 as well. If we keep the language-independent code from _from_print_page and use this inside the load_by_guid method, this should be fixed for the cache parsing at least (I am not sure if this is an issue for the other parsers as well at the moment). See my comment there as well which includes a proposal for fixing this issue.
