OPML import failure, reason: NULL

Open glacambre opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Dear maintainer,

Thanks a lot for creating this app. The one I was using recently became unusable for me, so I'm hunting for a replacement. Yours looks like a potentially great candidate :)

Checklist

  • [x] I am using the latest version (installed through F-Droid)
  • [x] I checked, but didn't find any duplicates (open OR closed) of this issue in the repo (https://github.com/bubelov/news/issues/81 and https://github.com/bubelov/news/issues/55 seem related though).
  • [x] This issue contains only one bug. I will open one issue for every bug report I want to file.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Load the following OPML file in News:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<opml version="1.1">
  <head>
    <title>
      Feeder
    </title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <outline title="Gagallium" text="Gagallium" type="rss" xmlUrl="http://gallium.inria.fr/blog/index.rss"/>
    <outline title="Evan Jones - Software Engineer | Computer Scientist" text="Evan Jones - Software Engineer | Computer Scientist" type="rss" xmlUrl="http://www.evanjones.ca/index.rss"/>
    <outline title="MDN recent changes to documents tagged Release" text="MDN recent changes to documents tagged Release" type="rss" xmlUrl="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/feeds/rss/tag/Release"/>

    <outline title="Myon&apos;s Blog" text="Myon&apos;s Blog" type="rss" xmlUrl="https://www.df7cb.de/blog/index.rss"/>
  </body>
</opml>

Actual behavior

News fails to import the feeds with the following message: Failed to import feed $URL . Reason: NULL.

Expected behavior

Ideally, News should be able to import the feeds (they work fine in a couple of other readers I tried). If there really is something wrong with the feeds, it would be nicer to have a more descriptive reason, like a lot of other failure messages have (e.g. error 404, broken XML...).

Logs

Somehow, the log button is not available. Could it be because the OPML file did not get imported?
