Got HTML content but no text found (With 200 reply code)

[dsprl]

So I am completely incompetent in coding and everything related to it, but I try using changedetection to track new tasks on a site I am using for work. So I perform basic browser steps: Login -> then click on a button that allows me to see if there are new tasks available for me, and I need the site to notify me when there are any changes on the page that opens up, as these changes would generally mean that there is a new task.

But there is a message "Got HTML content but no text found (With 200 reply code)" that hangs around the name of the website on the dashboard, and I am not sure what it means, if it is blocking something or not, and because I don't understand how the site works I don't see if something needs to be fixed.

If I understand this error correctly, it practically says that the page I crawl has no text, so it is a blank page. But that is not true, and when I manually go through browser steps I always get the page I need to check, which is full of text.

I'd appreciate your help.

You should use the chrome interface, it can be that the page only has javascript, which doesnt get rendered without chrome.

It is unfortunately a bit of a technical thing to get it running with playwright, but if you keep trying you will succeed. fortunately the playwright/browserless is just another container to add to your stack.

200 reply but no content - just means it fetched it, but for whatever reason the javascript in that page didnt work

i would say - check that it works with more "simple" websites, then you can narrow it down a bit further to see if its just the one website or not

update: september 2023 - since you havent bothered to try follow the instructions above or try other ways and let me know how you went, i dont know what i can do for you, please try to give more feedback

I was having the same problem, so I activated this option - which I attached right below - only for the website in question and the error disappeared

Unfortunately another error appeared: Exception: HTTPConnectionPool(host='browser-chrome', port=4444): Max retries exceeded with url: /wd/hub/session (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x0000026D03026DE0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed'))
I'm trying to monitor this website, which publishes job openings in my city.
If anyone could help me with how to proceed I would be very grateful
