Proposed Changes:
Reason:
The
prepare_gnews_url
function in the google_news.py file was causing a crash due to an AttributeError. Specifically, the error message observed was:AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'groupdict'
This occurred while attempting to access
primary_url = match.groupdict()["primary_url"]
which failed because match was None at the time of execution.Found out google has changed something and code wasn't able to decode the url.
Proposed Solution
Found a package google-news-url-decoder used it, it basically does an HTTP get request to get the url.
How did you test it?
I ran the specific tests related to this change. The tests were previously failing due to the error, but after the fix, they passed without any modification to the test cases.
Notes for the reviewer
I ran into a problem with the Python version compatibility. I was able to resolve the issue by setting the minimum Python version to 3.9.
