KN

Runtime crash: uncaught exception during run (no logs beyond error banner)

Closed

knightowlpk opened this issue

Actor: knightowlpk/facebook-group-post-scraper (custom version)
Build: 1.0.55
Platform: Apify Console (Saved Task)


What I did

  • Created a Saved Task named CampersTekoop from this actor.
  • In Manual mode:
    • Pasted my cookie-array into the 🍪 Cookies field (starts with [ and ends with ]).
    • Set Facebook group URLs to https://www.facebook.com/groups/campertekoop.nl/.
  • Clicked Save & Start.

What I expected

The task would start, load my session cookies in a headless browser, navigate to the private group’s mobile site, scroll through posts, and output a JSON dataset.


What happened

Immediately upon starting I get:

There was an uncaught exception during the run of the Actor and it was not handled.

No further logs appear—no browser launch, no network logs, nothing under Runs → Logs.


Screenshot

Runs tab showing uncaught exception on every run


Additional context

  • The Cookies field is definitely a JSON array (I’ve validated it).
  • There are no errors in input validation—this is a runtime crash.
  • I’ve tried both “New posts” and “Chronological” sorting, and various resultsLimit values.
  • I see zero “Started” logs beyond the red banner.

Request

  1. Can you add logging so we can see the stack trace or error message?
  2. If there’s a missing try/catch in the actor’s code, please handle the exception or provide clearer diagnostics.
  3. Confirm whether this actor supports the private-group use case or if I should use a different one.

Thanks for your help!
