Cannot include ssid_file in repost call. "Did not find an existing ad with matching title, skipping ad deletion"

Open Rings4 opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

I'm not sure how to go about doing this. The readme says to use "python kijiji_repost_headless [-s ssid_file] repost myproduct/item.yml" to repost an ad, with [-s ssid_file] being new to me. However, it just doesn't work.

I've tried a bunch of variations, as shown in my last few attempts here. Nothing works. It looks like it wants me to use "repost" and omit the ssid altogether, which makes it impossible to delete the existing ad because it just doesn't see it and says "Did not find an existing ad with matching title, skipping ad deletion".

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm using pull request #218, apologies if I should have posted this there and not here.

It's a shame this seems to be abandoned. Anyone else willing to pick up the torch and maintain this wonderful software?

Still no luck it seems. It runs with just using -u ssid.txt, but still doesn't delete any ads, saying "ad with matching title not found".

@Rings4 The latest PR refactors things to use a later version of the Kijiji API. If you checkout ad5db90499da3b3f13d4a6817a3ddd8779d31a9e things should work fine!

Ah yes, you've shown me this here! https://github.com/ArthurG/Kijiji-Repost-Headless/pull/223 Been using it for the past week with no issues (except sometimes it doesn't make the "ownr" variable attribute so I have to copy paste that from another file myself when making new ads). Thanks again!
