esniper: a lightweight eBay sniping tool / Bugs / #736 Error encountered in function parseBidHistory in history.c line 182

Source Geek - 2017-10-17

eBay changed the page. This patch fixes history.c. There may be more that has changed. This patch is a starting point. This patch is based on the CVS repository.

It looks like there is old code that should be removed in history.c. This patch does not address that issue.

history.c.patch

  The old history.c is 26 KB, the new one is 3 KB. Is this by design?

    The new history.c is also about 26 kb (http://esniper.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/esniper/esniper/history.c?r1=1.33&r2=1.34&sortby=date) large. The history.c.patch is just a diff file, with is 3 kb.

Did you use the patches for aution.c and history.c from the CVS ? The "Unknown item" error usually occurs, if that patches are not applied to your sources.

 This command does not fix the issue for me:

Just downloading the sources does not fix the issue.
You have to run

./configure
make install

  Michael, thanks for your replies. I've done that as well. Also manually copied history.c and auction.c and still getting " Error encountered in function parseBidHistory in history.c line 182
  ". Not sure what is going on.

Please try the attached patch.

I'm not sure, if it the post bid works, because some more investigations are required. Please be patient.

 Please leave a feedback, if you have won a auction with this modified version of history.c - Thanks.

 Thanks Michael. That worked.
 
 I downloaded the patches and recompiled but was still getting the parse error, but after replacing history.c with your version, and making the package again esniper appears to be parsing the new ebay pages correctly.
 
 Where do you want people to leave feedback? In this forum or elsewhere?

Definitely better, thank you. I'll confirm once it makes a successful bid...

 For me, these everything works ok. Did you apply the patch to the
 correct source tree? It seems that the patch failed.

You should use the compled file from the cvs:

rsync -ai a.cvs.sourceforge.net::cvsroot/esniper/esniper/history.c,v <yourdir>/history.c

Assuming your pwd is <mydir>, you have to do (as root):

tar -xzf esniper-<version>.tgz cd esniper-<version> rsync -ai a.cvs.sourceforge.net::cvsroot/esniper/esniper/history.c,v history.c ./configure make make install
