Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

yeah basically

#

even though the condition is met

here's the log : 2024-08-11T19:51:31.140Z INFO Launching Playwright... 2024-08-11T19:51:35.281Z INFO Webdriver is scrolling... 2024-08-11T19:51:41.376Z INFO Webdriver is scrolling... 2024-08-11T19:52:16.668Z INFO Webdriver is scrolling... 2024-08-11T19:52:52.783Z INFO Webdriver is scrolling... 2024-08-11T19:53:15.676Z Scrolled to the bottom 2024-08-11T19:53:15.809Z Exiting loop and closing browser. 2024-08-11T19:53:23.980Z INFO Webdriver is scrolling... 2024-08-11T19:53:31.850Z INFO Webdriver is scrolling... 2024-08-11T19:54:06.219Z INFO Webdriver is scrolling... 2024-08-11T19:54:43.252Z INFO Webdriver is scrolling... 2024-08-11T19:55:07.196Z Scrolled to the bottom 2024-08-11T19:55:07.311Z Exiting loop and closing browser. it doesn't exit the loop

#

first of all, what you describe is not what happens, which means something isn't right about your observation

# 
                                    print('Exiting loop and closing browser.')
                                    await browser.close()
                                    return data_list

if you ran that print, then you also either crashed, or ran that return, or entered some other loop in browser.close

#

more likely, you begin the loop multiple times - ie there's another loop around this

wispy bolt
#

I'm not sure to understand

#

there's not really another loop and the function is called one time

verbal dune
#

it isn't possible to stay in the function after those 3 lines, so that can't be what happens

wispy bolt
#

yes

#

but it still stays

#

I'm very confused because it should be exiting

verbal dune
#

you can easily confirm this by adding a print at the top of the function to see if it is called more than once

wispy bolt
#

I'll try

hasty parcel
#

The only explanation I can see besides the function exiting and being called again is if the function was called multiple times at the start and is interleaving between calls every time an await is reached.

#

i saw u last time u sure u cant press 'end'? would remove the need for the whole loop.
also where do u assume it doesnt quit the loop?

wispy bolt
#

because of the logs

#

and that the function is called one time

oh sorry i only read the end and didnt see the exit message being there twice

#

you were right

#

function is called multiple time

#

but I called it only one time

# 
 try:
            data = await get_full_html_content(keyword)
        except:
            try:
                error_traceback = traceback.format_exc()
                r.post('', json={'content': error_traceback})   
            except Exception as e:
                r.post('', json={'content': 'couldnt get error {e}'})  
        
        settings['ITEM_PIPELINES'] = { ActorDatasetPushPipeline: 1 }
        settings['TWISTED_REACTOR'] = 'twisted.internet.asyncioreactor.AsyncioSelectorReactor'
        settings['DEPTH_LIMIT'] = depth
        settings['RETRY_ENABLED'] = False
        settings['DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT'] = 2.5
        
        data = await get_full_html_content(keyword)
        if data != 'No result':
            process = CrawlerProcess(settings)
            process.crawl(
            EmailScraper,  pattern_list=pattern_list, 
            crawling_depth = depth, data_dict=data, get_insta_details=insta_details)
            process.start()```
#

the rest of the code

#

the function is only called one time

spice sorrel
#

u use selenium right?

wispy bolt
#

NO

#

it's called twice

#

I'm dumb

#

I just noticed it

#

bruhhh

#

I coded for like 5-6 hours straight

#

that's why I think

#

I feel so dumb right now

spice sorrel
#

its keyboardEvent.End there according to this

wispy bolt
#

I'm ending it

#

by exiting the function

spice sorrel
#

also pageup/down is way faster than up and down

wispy bolt
#

it wil lget buggy

#

and don't charge the element I need to charge

#

so that's why I need it to be a little bit slow

spice sorrel
#

oh ok than end is also not ur key here

wispy bolt
#

but the key ends when the function is exited

#

so it's useless to try end it before exiting

spice sorrel
# wispy bolt I'm ending it

no its the end key it will go to the end of the line or the bottom of the site depending on where u use it

wispy bolt
#

ahhh

spice sorrel
wispy bolt
#

so no need to check if a trigger is there

#

?

spice sorrel
#

but if going too fast doesnt load stuff

#

than tis wont load any

wispy bolt
#

I'll try that tomorrow to see if it works

#

if it does

#

it will be really helpful
