2.16.0 and later give TypeError: value.split is not a function about thumbsup HOT 3 OPEN

Hi, thank you for raising this. Indeed some of the code regarding keyword management changed between 2.15.0 and 2.16.0. Are you using anything specific regarding keywords? For example picasa.ini files, or photos with embedded IPTC/XMP keywords?

Are you using anything specific regarding keywords? For example picasa.ini files, or photos with embedded IPTC/XMP keywords?

Not to my knowledge, I recently migrated from an older version of thumbsup that didn't support them.

I'm not sure which photos may contain keywords; if there's a way to run thumbsup where it can tell me which photo caused the traceback, I'm happy to do that. But there's 30K+ photos to pick from....

from thumbsup.

Sorry for the slow reply. Have you found the cause of the issue?
One way you can identify the media file is:

• Run the Docker image in interactive mode ( -it) and with the /bin/sh command instead of thumbsup
• Run vi /thumbsup/node_modules/thumbsup/src/model/metadata.js
• Add a troubleshooting statement such as

// line 29, catch the exception
try {
  this.keywords = keywords(exiftool, picasa)
} catch (ex) {
  console.log('Exception', exiftool.SourceFile, exiftool, picasa)
  throw(ex)
}

• Run thumbsup as usual from the CLI: thumbsup <args>

from thumbsup.
