IndexError: list index out of range about slack-export-viewer HOT 10 CLOSED

Hey @accuratefeed can you add your channels.json file or a snippet of it. The only reason I can see this happening is because there are no channels at all. But if that's not the case I can test with your data.
Thanks!

Hi @tscritch thanks for replying so quickly. The channels.json file is indeed empty. I contacted slack about this and they're not sure why it's empty either. I do have the folder of the channel I'm trying to view though and the other json files such as users.json has data in it. I'm really just trying to put this 1 channel in a viewable format, so if you have any other suggestions, please let me know!

from slack-export-viewer.

Wow. Interesting! haha
Well the list of channels is created from that channels.json so we need it... I would suggest for now just manually creating the file. Go to the tests folder in this project and open the zip to find the channels.json and just copy one from there. I'm not sure what else you could do if you don't have data in that file.

@tscritch I was able to find a channels.json with data in it. Now I'm getting the following error:

Ah jeez haha it looks like that would be a character it can't read for some reason... I'm not too experienced with that stuff. @hfaran any insight?

from slack-export-viewer.

I was able to get what I needed using levelsio's script, which I believe this script was based off of. Any idea if hfaran's script is using utf8 or latin1 to decode? Just curious.

from slack-export-viewer.

Ok great.
It is using utf8 👍

from slack-export-viewer.

@tscritch Looking at the stack trace that @accuratefeed posted, the bug is here:

You're missing the encoding="utf8" argument on io.open

from slack-export-viewer.

Committed the fix, but I'm gonna wait until your next PR goes to make a new release

from slack-export-viewer.

Actually, I went ahead and released 0.6.0. @accuratefeed please try it
