Error on fulltext extraction

[yanosh-igor]

I'm running my script that use boilerpipe and after some time I'm getting this error:

Boilerpipe error: Error: Error running instance method
java.lang.NullPointerException

I'm using this code:

getText = (html, callback)->
  unless html
    callback(false)
  else
    boilerpipe = new Boilerpipe(
      html: html
    , (err) ->
      util.log 'Boilerpipe error: ' + err if err
    )
    boilerpipe.getText((err, text)->
      if text?
        callback text
      else
        callback(false)
    )

My function "getText()" running in the loop. Could you please suggest something?

Also would be great to have some method that will set HTML/URL and in callback return text. In this case I won't need to create objects in the loop.

I am runnign into the same problem. Any fixes yet?

I guess this is still an open issue?

I got this error, finally figured out 'html' was an object. Ensure html is a string before passing it in.
