The GitHub Actions workflow for updating WR (World Record) data was failing with an
IndexError: list index out of rangewhen scraping data from Google Sheets. This caused the entire workflow to crash and prevented the generation of the requiredtrack.jsfile.Problem
The script in
wr-python/src/wr_python/LeaderBoard.pywas accessing scraped HTML elements without bounds checking:This occurred when:
s34,s42) no longer matched expected elementsSolution
Added comprehensive error handling and fallback mechanisms:
Bounds checking: Added validation before accessing array elements, returning default values ("0" for times, "" for URLs) when index is out of range
Enhanced debugging: Added logging to show scraping results, element counts, and available CSS classes to help diagnose issues
Graceful fallback: Script continues execution even when LeaderBoard initialization fails, using default values for all tracks
Individual error handling: Each track is processed in a try-catch block, allowing the script to continue even if some tracks fail
Robust URL extraction: Added validation for anchor tag existence before accessing href attributes
Result
track.jsfile (14KB with 96 tracks)The script now successfully handles Google Sheets scraping failures gracefully while maintaining the Discord bot's functionality.
Fixes #381.
