P0s3id0n 90 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Ok This error is driving me crazy. I get this from time to time when trying to scrape an attribute from a page. It was working fine yesterday and not when I try to run my code again I get this "Cannot deserialize JSON object into type 'System.Boolean' error. Does somebody knows what this is? I googled my ass off and I can't find a clear explanation of what it is nor I can find a solution to make it go away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnB 255 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Thank you. This bug has been reported and you have a bot that reproduces it that would be really helpful. We are currently aware it exists but are unable to reproduce it at the moment. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
P0s3id0n 90 Posted April 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 The problem is that it doesn't happen all the time. Once you restart uBot it fixes. But it has happened to me quite a few times already Also I am seeing v4.1.0 very unstable. Drop downs on toolbox doesn't stay down. You run the bot from the code and if there is a loop like sending multiple tweets on tweets that just keep looping as long that tweet box is there then uBot crashes and it shuts itself down. That one is easy to replicate just make it do a loop while on twitter for sending tweets and see what happens after about 40 tweets. It will just crash uBot. I have not yet tested on compiled bots to see if that happens. I really hope it doesn't cuz if it does then it will really suck for me and all my customers.

UBotDev 276 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 This problem started to appear on Adwords Keyword tool. For some time UBot works normal, and doesnt display that popup, but after some time ubot starts displaying it. The only option to solve this problem is to restart ubot, but the problem will get back after a while again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToNic Innovation 0 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 This happens to me also while working in the confines of google adwords. Specifically in my case, it occurred when trying to revise a clickable element. I have included the file to see if you can replicate. clickable.ubot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have included the file to see if you can replicate. clickable.ubot Do you have a code that will allow support to replicate the issue? If so please send it to support. They have being trying to replicate this bug but I guess they can't. For some reason the code that used to make that error pop up stped doing it a good while ago for no reason so I got nothing to send them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToNic Innovation 0 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 It is the code in the post above. But what I have found is that it is working flawlessly on my PC. I am only getting the error on my Mac's virtual machine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
great2bme 5 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 It is now June 27 2013, a year later, and this still appears to be an issue with no fix provided. Did support ever reproduce the issue? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smartquin 1 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I just got the same error today, drove me nuts until I found it was a fault with ubot.... 12 months and no fix??? I'm using version 4.2.18, any fixes on the horizon? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UBotDev 276 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I've also got this problem a few days ago, and I sent the bot to Eddie for debugging. I think this is a general error and the reason for it to trigger might be different that it was back then (I think support already fixed some of similar bugs, since I haven't seen such error for a long time). However, I was able to solve this problem by using "set user agent" before every navigate command in the bot, and it prevented browser from crashing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ptlrc 2 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 i am new with u bot, but i am trbouled with this bug Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UBotDev 276 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 You could try to avoid crashes by regularly re-initializing the browser, like I mentioned here:http://www.ubotstudio.com/forum/index.php?/topic/14294-bot-crashing-when-scraping-a-large-number-of-pages-from-csv-file/&do=findComment&comment=79701 Else we are still waiting for fix...

UBotDev 276 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I don't think it was solved. Hopefully v5 will solve that... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pacbotter 1 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Not solved. I just got it again in 5.85. Seems to happen after a bot reaches a certain number of page views. Incredibly annoying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ibotubot 3 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Still getting this error now for some reason. The scraping worked earlier and now it just produces this error Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devmodo 0 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I am also still getting this error. The bot works the first time, but if I try to run it again, I get the error and have to shut UBot down to clear the error. I am running 5.9.44 on a Windows 10 VM on an iMac.

Blanche 1 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 I purchased the professional version recently and came across the exact same problem, along with a load of other script error issues realting to the same problem. After a frustrating day of closing the program and reopening it every time i wanted to run the bot, I decided on reading various forums and found that many others were having the same problem, so I set about finding a solution myself. I'm pleased to inform you all that I've found a work around that solves the issue. (Very occasionally the error reocurres briefly)The problem is 100% with the ubot software and the way it uses the browser and stores data in memory. Message me if you want the solution. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

borsaro 1 Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 I am on a developer edition V5.9.55 and I am still getting the problem, anyone got the solution yet?Actually I noticed that it is giving me the problem each 4 pages. I am scraping atttibute in a loop inside woocommerce the variable / simple product dropdown, but I got the same problem in past with other scraping actions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
borsaro 1 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 POSSIBLE WORK AROUND for who is experiencing that problem. I contacted the Support in order to understand what's going on. Sadly it seems that is not so easy to get to a solution because it seems some JSON issue going on behind the scene. First they pointed out that on an URL there was the ? due to URL parameters and then a * (wildcard) in the same Scrape Attribute. Something like:<href=w"https://www.example.com?post_di=2222*">,"href"),"Global") ? is interpreted like a wildcard too from the scrape command so this could create some confusion to the system.I found it could be a point to check in some cases. Sadly it wasn't in my case, but the shortcut they suggest seems to be working: SOLUTION: Create a counter with an if statement which every number of times launch the "reset broswer" command. Please don't forget like I did that it works only with Chrome 49 otherwise it gave you an error and if you are already under stress like I was... well, you can go crazy. Thumbs up for the UbotSupport! ((Buddy in this case was the one who helped me solve the problem, thank Buddy! ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
