Crashing on particular odd playlists about exportify HOT 41 OPEN

@pavelkomarov
Hello, I was trying to export some playlists but on a couple of them ** I received an error message**
"Couldn't export "RS". Encountered TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'artists'). Please let us know.

I would like to know how I can fix it such that I can export the playlist. It would be useful if there was an option for "Skip song" perhaps? And for it to add a message of what song it skipped so the User is aware / OR: What song is causing the problem so that I can temporarily remove it.

from exportify.

Excuse my base explanation as I'm just a user...
I don't know if this is helpful, but I came here last night because I was getting a "features[i] is undefined" error. After some trial and error to no avail, I used the watsonbox version and it worked w/no modifications to the playlist. Given that watsonbox doesn't pull local file lines, I noticed that one local artist in my playlist was listed and had a release date of "null". She has an album coming out this Friday, which means she's in the Spotify db and it pulled her album.
I deleted her song from the playlist, then came back to this Exportify and tried it again, and didn't get an error.

Following up from your last comment on #6, I had no idea the Export All option was supposed to export the playlists only on that page. Afaik, on the other forks it was supposed to export all playlists, but I never got it to work b/c I always had more than 50, and therefore always got the rate-limiting error.

So I tried exporting all 20 on the first page, and you were correct. The 19th one, which is my Local Files Playlist, won't export even though it exports fine on the other 3 Exportify forks I linked. And it also gives me the "undefined exportify.js:260:29" error. If I try Export All on the 2nd page it works and downloads a zip with those 20 playlists.

Post a link to the Local Files playlist so I can follow it and try to export it

from exportify.

Yes, forgot :) spotify:playlist:6Ti1vmdDtuXWNHtkUDKIni

from exportify.

Update: The app now uses a try/catch construction to avoid crashing on problematic playlists (though it still can't export them) and let the user know what's going on.

from exportify.

I tested it out again and the Export Group is able to bypass the problematic Local Files Playlist. It now gives me this error at the top:

Couldn't export Local Files Playlist. Encountered TypeError: features[i] is undefined.

However, there was one playlist that did not export to the zip file the first time I tried, yet it was able to export fine by itself. When I tried Export Group again though it included this one in the zip file. This is it here: spotify:playlist:2Zp7lFi6zoWRldxMfXOHRp

from exportify.

You sure about that? There should be absolutely no difference between how a playlist behaves when it's exported alone vs as part of a group, because the group functionality just loops through the list and calls the same function that gets called when you hit the export button for a particular list. for loop near line 169

from exportify.

Yes, for sure – I actually still have the original zip file if you want me to upload it or take a screenshot. There are 18 items in that first one, and 19 in the 2nd zip I exported, but there should have been 19 for both based on what you're saying.

from exportify.

There are 2 different errors.

These 2 return the "undefined" error. Could these be due to some tracks being greyed out (missing) from the playlists?
spotify:playlist:2Zp7lFi6zoWRldxMfXOHRp (default Local Files Playlist, reported above)
spotify:playlist:38VEWhMUWGLO7JRLU6K64k (a user-created local files playlist)

These 2 return the "song.track is null" error:
spotify:playlist:53eljwwaQQhi93Zbet44si (reported in the 1st comment above)
spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DXdbXrPNafg9d

The first 2 w/ the undefined errors export fine using watsonbox's fork, but the second 2 do not.

Reviving this thread for sum help 👍

from exportify.

Did my try-catch catch the error at least?

from exportify.

That's some really useful detective work! I'm not positive I'm going to fix my version any time soon, because watsonbox's reappearance and subsequent coding tear resulted in probably a more mature version than this one. But thank you all the same.

Hiya, I'm experiencing this error:

"Couldn't export My Playlist #16. Encountered TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'forEach'). "

My playlist is https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0Y1UOzHss5Aq4nAr7Em4Ic and contains a number of local files. I'd be grateful if you could look into this, thank you!

from exportify.

Please post the URIs or links for playlists that just cause the button to spin forever, indicating a crash, in this thread. There are many ways things could potentially go wrong, so I foresee getting a lot of mileage out of this one.

Hi,

These 4 playlists have an error, only in the website "exportify.net" though. On the site https://watsonbox.github.io/exportify I could download them.

"Sas Ipod" and "Flip" both have only local files, and the local files are actually not even on my device (pc). The other two playlists I am not sure about if they have some local files or no local files.

I'm sorry I've been so missing, guys. This hasn't been a priority to fix, but it seems like there are some pretty common issues. It looks like I need better null checking. If anyone can dig in and open a PR to solve the problem, I'd be grateful. In the mean time, Watsonbox's version may work for you. He was the original creator of a tool like this; I recoded it as my own, simpler, pared-down version because his was broken at the time. He later reappeared and overhauled his version.

Thanks. I sat down to work on this a couple weekends ago but only got as far as updating the repo to use github actions to deploy instead of travis.ci. I was able to successfully redeploy, but I redeployed the same exact version. Still have to add null checking to the javascript.

just printing out the song.tracks which are null, helped fixing my playlist. Because the songs still have the added_at timestamps, I could determine which range of songs to remove, also I could add them right back and it still fixed my playlist. Then I just clicked export. So maybe the website could output the added_at and the indices of the failed songs or just console.error them to help out a bit.
