Web browser: --- Bug ID: 55225 Summary: Error downloading data: No JSON object could be decoded Product: Pywikibot Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: General Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: legoktm.wikipedia@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified Mobile Platform: ---
Originally from: http://sourceforge.net/p/pywikipediabot/bugs/1387/ Reported by: djbarrett Created on: 2011-12-07 00:52:22 Subject: Error downloading data: No JSON object could be decoded Original description: 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.
$ sudo python version.py Pywikipedia [http] trunk/pywikipedia (r9787, 2011/12/06, 07:41:04) Python 2.4.3 (#1, May 5 2011, 16:39:10) [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-50)] config-settings: use_api = True use_api_login = True unicode test: ok

--- Comment #1 from Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) legoktm.wikipedia@gmail.com --- I am also getting this bug from category.py in -r9851
$ python category.py move -from:"US Payment Processor" -to:"US Payment Processor project" -pt:0
Happens for some articles not others.

--- Comment #2 from Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) legoktm.wikipedia@gmail.com --- Could you re-run the script with -v? This should output the queries used, and might give relevant information.
On a side note, why are you running pwb (or at least version.py) as root? There is no reason to do that, and it's dangerous.
