Anti-captcha config required even if not doing any captcha processing

Question

Anti-captcha config required even if not doing any captcha processing

eharris opened this issue 5 years ago · comments

I just tried upgrading to the latest version (1.2.2) and it now refuses to run:

> packt-cli -c configFile.cfg -da
[ERROR] - Exception occurred No option 'key' in section: 'ANTICAPTCHA_DATA'

I have no interest in using anti-captcha, and do not intend to setup an account, I just want to download the books already on my account. Yet I'm unable to even though I'm not doing any processing that involves a captcha?

Also, it should be noted that the example config given in the README.md does not supply this section, so the example given will not work either.

Could you see if #160 resolves your problem? Just install script with pip install git+https://github.com/mjenczmyk/Packt-Publishing-Free-Learning.git@downloader and see if it works for you.

This is still not resolved. The script still fails to run if either the ANTICAPTCHA_DATA section is missing:

[ERROR] - Exception occurred No section: 'ANTICAPTCHA_DATA'

or if the key configuration isn't given.

[ERROR] - Exception occurred No option 'key' in section: 'ANTICAPTCHA_DATA'

Tested with current release 1.4.3.

It has been resolved, but they started to require ReCaptcha solution also for login request.
