No urls to crawl, runs forever

Closed

I found a bug in the website-content-crawler. In particular, it looks like if I add exclude_url_globs and it can't find any URLs to crawl from the start URL that are not in exclude_url_globs, it just runs forever.

If I ensure that there are start URLs not included in exclude_url_globs, that solves the problem.

Hi, thank you for trying the Website Content Crawler.

I’m not entirely sure what you’re trying to achieve. You’ve entered a startURL and then listed around 50 URLs to exclude.

Would it make more sense to include only the startURLs you want to scrape and set the maximum crawler depth to 0?

I’ve attempted to replicate your run, and it completed successfully. You can check it here for reference.
