urlwatch alerts you even if there is no change

Open u-need-me opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Hello,

Here is my url.yaml file (filter 3):

name: "AIRBNB" navigate: "url" filter:

  • element-by-class: _le6wlg
  • beautify:
  • html2text:
  • grep: total

Here is what i get once I send urlwatch --test-filter 3

This is only a filter test, but when I run the cron on a 1 minute interval, I realize that I am permanently alerted without any change!

Can you help me please to optimize my filter thank you

What does the output of urlwatch --test-diff-filter 3 output? This should (as long as you haven't GC'd old cache entries) show you how it creates the diff.

Also, you haven't set unchanged to true in the settings, right?
