undefined method

Hi,

Great tool you are making, I tried using your gem and get the following error when requesting a single profile: .rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/linkedindata-0.0.19/lib/get_related.rb:22:in getRelatedProfiles': undefined methodtimes' for "100":String (NoMethodError) from /Users/jjanssen/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/linkedindata-0.0.19/lib/linkedindata.rb:71:in prepareResults' from /Users/jjanssen/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/linkedindata-0.0.19/lib/linkedindata.rb:79:ingetSingleProfile' from ./linkedInSearch:8:in `

'

When doing a search we get an error in the generalscraper generalscraper-0.0.6/lib/generalscraper.rb:31:in categorizeLinks': undefined methodlinks' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from /Users/jjanssen/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/generalscraper-0.0.6/lib/generalscraper.rb:63:in nextSearchPage' from /Users/jjanssen/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/generalscraper-0.0.6/lib/generalscraper.rb:35:inblock in categorizeLinks' from /Users/jjanssen/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/generalscraper-0.0.6/lib/generalscraper.rb:31:in each' from /Users/jjanssen/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/generalscraper-0.0.6/lib/generalscraper.rb:31:incategorizeLinks' from /Users/jjanssen/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/generalscraper-0.0.6/lib/generalscraper.rb:26:in `search'

A couple things that could be an issue-

• This version only works with a list of proxies to scrape from (which don't necessarily need to be remote). Are you calling it with this list? (Although this gem used to work without a proxy list and I can add this back this option if people are interested.)
• From "100":String (NoMethodError) it looks like the number of hops might be being passed as a string. This needs to be an integer.
• There could be some other small thing wrong with how it's being called (examples on how this should work are below)

Generally, this is what getting a single profile should look like if you has a proxylist at ~/proxylist and wanted to go out two hops- l = LinkedinData.new(2, "~/proxylist") l.getSingleProfile("http://linkedin.com/pub/userprofilelink")

And the same, but getting all profiles that mention "ruby"- l = LinkedinData.new(2, "~/proxylist") l.getByKeywords("ruby")

If this doesn't help, please let me know.

Hey Great to get this feedback from you.

I changed the list an i used a open proxy in my personal proxylist, if you have a larger list that would be great.

But now i get a different error:

/Users/jjanssen/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/generalscraper-0.0.6/lib/generalscraper.rb:31:in categorizeLinks': undefined methodlinks' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from /Users/jjanssen/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/generalscraper-0.0.6/lib/generalscraper.rb:26:in search' from /Users/jjanssen/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/generalscraper-0.0.6/lib/generalscraper.rb:79:in getURLs' from /Users/jjanssen/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/linkedindata-0.0.19/lib/linkedindata.rb:28:in search' from /Users/jjanssen/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/linkedindata-0.0.19/lib/linkedindata.rb:84:in getByKeywords' from ./linkedInSearch:9:in `
