on irc they were like "I didn't know you could do that..."

very shortly after, it was documented and everything

people were still getting their Pis because it was on backorder for like 6 months

My computer's 7 years old. That might explain why I'm here

djsmiley2k

17:25

my server is older, whats up?

@oldmud0 molex spliter, and adapter

oh wow just read the bacxklog

soooooooooooooooo

whos good with webdriver?

Rahul2001

@oldmud0 lol

allquicatic

@djsmiley2k that's kind of my day job (well, part of it)

what specifically do you need?

djsmiley2k

misssssssstaske

im trying to crawl and save my google photos...

first step 'log in'...

driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(desired_capabilities=PHANTOMJS_ARG)

infact i should pastebin it, sec

paste.pound-python.org/show/XWV96ltZjjuUzNbV06B1

allquicatic

@djsmiley2k I refuse to help with Python

djsmiley2k

oh the screenshot didnt load overscp, copied it locally and now i see it says wrong p/w

lol ok

allquicatic

17:39

@djsmiley2k are you using 2FA?

djsmiley2k

not for this

Rahul2001

@JourneymanGeek blogs would be popular if we got rep from them

allquicatic

if it's enabled on your account you should use an app password

djsmiley2k

yup thats exa tly what im doing

k weird that paswor really doesnt work - regenerating

k now hits 2 step verification

gonna have to handle that in the swcript joys

Burgi

HELP!

sourcetree has gone off the screen and i can't pull it down to commit my work!

Rahul2001

17:44

@Burgi what's up?

Burgi

^^^^

Rahul2001

Hm... I've never used sourcetree, so I can't help :/

Heh, the new Mac book pros don't have an ESC key

Lmao

Good luck, vim users

djsmiley2k

@allquicatic yes, yes i am

i dont need automated testsing, illrun this script like once a month

basically just abusing webdriver for this

Anna duh

selenium.common.exceptions.InvalidElementStateException: Message: {"errorMessage":"Element is not currently

ewwww

why that now :/74

allquicatic

17:59

@djsmiley2k element is not visible? likely a JS thing on the page is enabling the element after the JS runs

you should add an explicit wait for the element to be visible

djsmiley2k

oh, ewww

but sometimes it at least attempts to login when providing wrong password :/

allquicatic

seleniumhq.org/docs/…

the EC.element_to_be_clickable wait basically just waits until it's enabled and visible, so that's a good heuristic

it doesn't matter that you're not planning to click it

Anna duh

Alone at last. Cat heaven. Dog hell.

djsmiley2k

like just then it loggedin. with screenshots before and after yey

allquicatic

@djsmiley2k until you add explicit waits, you're going to bump against race conditions every time

djsmiley2k

18:02

hmmmm still telling me wrong password hmmmmmm

k

so litteral wait until X ?

allquicatic

@djsmiley2k per the page I linked you above

from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID,'someid')))

(note: I am not a Python programmer, nor do I want to be)

djsmiley2k

hehe ok that's weird

first time it asks me to 2fa

if i fail, it seems to constantly fail the p/w after that without sending the txt :o

or even offering to

allquicatic

@djsmiley2k once again, you should be using an app password

djsmiley2k

yeah i am

so, app passwords don't work online?

as in you can't 'test' them like that

DavidPostill

@Rahul2001 I won't ask what your mental image of me and @BenN is ;p

djsmiley2k

18:08

do i need to ue a specific url because I'm using an app password?

allquicatic

@djsmiley2k they do, I don't know what you mean

@djsmiley2k no

Rahul2001

@DavidPostill ;P

djsmiley2k

do they fail to work because of 2FA being turned on?

because right now, I generate a app password. I open up an incognito tab, I try to sign into google with those details and it tells me the password is wrong

allquicatic

@djsmiley2k huh

that shouldn't happen

djsmiley2k

ok, good

:D

!!wiki Defenestration

ChatBot John Cavil

Defenestration

Defenestration is the act of throwing someone or something out of a window. The term was coined around the time of an incident in Prague Castle in the year 1618, which became the spark that started the Thirty Years' War. This was done in "good Bohemian style" and referred to the defenestration which had occurred in the same city's City Hall almost 200 years earlier (July 1419), which also at that occasion led to war, the Hussite war. The word comes from the New Latin de- (out of or away from) and fenestra (window or opening). Likewise, it can also refer to the condition of being thrown out of...

lol

djsmiley2k

urgh, i don't know wtf the elements are because it seems the names have changed

Tiffany

18:24

I'm just used to Jeeves

allquicatic

@djsmiley2k use xpath to find them dynamically

should be easy enough

djsmiley2k

#ids = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[@id]')

hmmmm i guess I want @passwd or something?

allquicatic

@djsmiley2k element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.xpath, "//input[@type='text'] "))) -- again, you need to be using explicit waits

djsmiley2k

I think you maybe think I've got some kind of experience

I haven't XD

allquicatic

that line you have still isn't using explicit waits

djsmiley2k

18:28

Ok i'm looking at that line now trying to understand it

so it's waiting for any kind of text input field?

allquicatic

@djsmiley2k yeah, it looks for the first visible, enabled textbox on the page

I figured the chances of the first visible textbox on the page being something other than the username field to be about 0.0000001%

djsmiley2k

ok, trying to figure out how to use that instead of what I have...

allquicatic

likely you can change the text to password for the PW

djsmiley2k

driver.find_element_by_id("Email").send_keys(details.email) << what i have btw

allquicatic

separate out the element identification into a separate variable and then operate on it, for clarity and so you can tell which line it fails on, etc

don't chain your dot statements so deeply

djsmiley2k

18:30

ok

allquicatic

`element = ...

then

Tiffany

@allquicatic capricasix?

allquicatic

element.send_keys

djsmiley2k

this is the problem of grabbing code snippits from the web i guess :/

allquicatic

@Tiffany Caprica Six is an instance of SO-ChatBot maintained by the chat.so JavaScript room, yes. she's based on the "upstream" code (by Zirak). mine is forked on github as I linked above, and hosted separately.

but yeah, Six and Cavil are more similar to each other than to Jeeves

I believe rlemon hosts Caprica Six

Tiffany

18:31

ahh. I said something in php chat asking if Jeeves could be deployed here (before I found out that there already is a bot here) and someone responded

they were asking what the implementation of the bot was, and I linked your message about it being based on the JS room's bot, and they were a little confused because I guess capricasix is not built using node?

allquicatic

@Tiffany pretty sure the active room owners and SU mods would be against having two bots in here, so if whoever responded is already in the process of deploying Jeeves in here, asking them kindly not to would be appreciated since Cavil is in here

Tiffany

nah

they aren't

allquicatic

can you link to the PHP room? I'll just answer them directly

Tiffany

it was more just me lamenting the robustness of Jeeves :P, but apparently he's not ready to be used elsewhere anyway

Tiffany

@allquicatic have any experience with IIS? :P

dammit

djsmiley2k

the sad thing is right now id prob have more success in php due to having at least some expperince

allquicatic

@Tiffany that's another tool I don't want to have experience with, but unfortunately do - to a limited extent

the project I used to work on that used IIS, the lead developer passed away and I stopped working on it after that

didn't have the heart to

@djsmiley2k generally it's a good idea to use a programming language you're very familiar with for a quick hack; Selenium is supported in many programming languages so that's a good thing

Ben N

What's the end goal again?

djsmiley2k

18:39

nod cept im not a programmer by any stretch

@BenN grab all my google photos

ok so seems the selenium docs aren't .... correct

Python 3.4.3 (default, Sep 26 2016, 20:48:56)
[GCC 4.9.3] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'WebDriverWait' is not defined

Ben N

I'm pretty sure Google Photos uses the Picasa API

djsmiley2k

i though id check it outside of my script incase i was screwing someyhing up

yeah I got lost with that tho @BenN

It seems to eventually get to 'use the google drive API'

which I tried, but my google drive account is.... broken

my photos don't display in drive.

which reminds me i should check today to see if that's still the case

So this is largely a X->Y->Z problem

Tiffany

@allquicatic heh. I manage one web server on IIS, and only know bits and pieces of Apache. I'd like to learn nginx though. I need to set up a VM sometime at home and dink around with it.

allquicatic

@Tiffany nginx has fairly cryptic configuration but it's not too dissimilar to Apache on Debian at least because of the way they structure their directories (sites-enabled, sites-available, etc.)

@djsmiley2k sure it's not your browser / internet connection?

djsmiley2k

it could be my connection, some how

but concidering my phone shows the same issue

Tiffany

18:45

I only started in web server admin earlier this year, so it's all new to me. I've had to learn IIS for work.

djsmiley2k

and the api shows the same issue

the photos simply don't 'exist' in gdrive

allquicatic

also how do you intend to use Selenium to extract pictures that don't display?

djsmiley2k

neither under 'google photos' folder...

they display on photos.google.com

allquicatic

o.o

djsmiley2k

yeah

go figure

even the two 'photos' points on the google drive page don't match up

one is a 'folder' you enable in the config... it's meant to slowly fill up with your photos as it syncs something, over a few days. That only ever shows me the photos I've uploaded, from the moment I enable it - nothing old ever appears in it

allquicatic

18:47

@BenN don't tell me, you can use selenium from powershell using the .NET bindings for selenium

is there a Groovy Grape equivalent for powershell?

djsmiley2k

the other bit is a google photos 'link' on the page, that shows me most of my photos, but has huge chunks of time missing, such as feb 2015 - now

LOL

I'm looking again at the Picasa API

No one seems to be able to confirm that the Picasa API is what google photos uses

Maybe I'll try and write something using http requests in that.. D:

allquicatic

why not just file a support request with Google and wait for a pre-canned generic response like "sometimes we lose data and we can't help you, sorry"?

djsmiley2k

not sure how to @allquicatic

i have a post on the gdrive forum thing

How is the Picasa Web Albums Data API related to Google Photos?
Picasa Web Albums and Google Photos provide different, but mostly overlapping views of the same user photo data

seems the Picasa api DOES give access to grab the photos, but that's all

welp that's all I want, better start over XD

I wonder if that's the problem tho, maybe drive is using the picasa api and they've not updated it

allquicatic

@djsmiley2k there might be third party apps that already do picasa API that you can use

djsmiley2k

good point

checking if any of those can cope with the 25Gb of photos

(google takeout can't :/ )

I looked for 'Google Photos' downloaders, but coudln't find anything useful

didn't realise picasa might be the keyword

bwDraco

19:08

I personally use Flickr; they have no trouble handling lots of photos (many GBs, in fact).

djsmiley2k

you got a pro account?

google don't really

just the drive stuff not working correctly annoys me, as I actually use the drive api tools already

bwDraco

No, but they give 1 TB of storage to everyone. Pro adds ad-free access and expanded analytics information.

djsmiley2k

1Tb now?

hmmm ok

I thought it was less

bwDraco

So, any reason why you're migrating from Google Photos?

...never mind.

djsmiley2k

I'm not

I just want to ensure I have a offline copy of everything

bwDraco

19:16

Oh, okay. It seems you're having technical issues with them.

djsmiley2k

hmmmmmmmm this application is grabbing by album

I wonder if it sees the autouploads as an album

only because I suck really @bwDraco

I heard an interesting theory on youtube when I was listening to some tech video in the car, it was either LinusTechTips or EverythingApplePro

that Apple plans to eventually move all of their standard PC form factor devices to ARM64 based on a scaled-up, higher-TDP version of the chips currently in their "A" SoC line (like A10 Fusion, etc.)

they did it once with POWER to x86, and there's this idea that they might be able to get better perf per watt out of a greatly scaled-up A10 Fusion for a MBP than, say, a Skylake-H chip

Michael Frank

Yea, it is. I'm just confused about why he can't eject it himself.

I'm pretty sure he's got the wrong tape number though, that tape isn't in our autoloader at all.

Anna duh
