Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Daniel Barrett (djbarrett) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Error downloading data: No JSON object could be decoded
Initial Comment: replace.py produces the following error message in the middle of large search-and-replace operations.
Error downloading data: No JSON object could be decoded: line 1 column 0 (char 0) Request en:/w/api.php? Retrying in 1 minutes...
1 minute later, it fails again and retries in 2 minutes, then 4 minutes, etc.
The command was:
$ python replace.py -regex -nocase -start:! '\\(example.net|exampleus)\common\softlib' '\example.net\global\softlib'
and when prompted for a replacement, I typed "a" for "All". After doing a bunch of replacements, the error started happening. This is with MediaWiki 1.17.1.
