Seems to be issues with the bot running over lengthy periods of time

[vanZeben]

I have the bot running on my VPS and decided to leave it on while I went to sleep. I woke up to the bot just scanning the area and then walking to the next area. No pokestops, no pokemon, just walking around. Judging from the level of my character and bag changes, this happened not very long after I left the bot alone (perhaps 20-30 minutes), so I would estimate that this kicks in around an hour or so of uptime total if not less.

This is the second time this has happened, and while not a huge issue to just force restart the script after 30 minutes, perhaps this should be looked into further.

Have the same problem.

[AnakTeka]

Yeah, same here, I have to restart the process once in a while.

[Spettacolo83]

Same problem here! I have to restart every 30-60 mins.

[LuyiTian]

Have the similar problem. keep printout unknown pokestop and do nothing.

Yep, same here - can run the bot for ~2 hours before getting stuck

[bgrimm]

Same issue, starts not finding just moving around about the 30-45 minute mark as well.

same here

It seems to continue working for me if i press enter. Maybe it doesn't wake up from sleep.
Can you say what OS you are on, maybe it's scheduler issue?

[vanZeben]

@Johanju OS seems to be irrelevant on this. I've run it on CentOS/OSX/Windows and all yield the same result..

Also note that some people are claiming duplicates of this, but I dont think they are quite the same. Alot of the "duplicates" are people actually finding the pokestops and it just walking between them without collecting anything. This one it doesnt even find the pokestops, it just searches cell blocks and finds nothing indefinitely

[jzju]

@vanZeben You are right, I got another bug where the bot just stops and a enter press woke it up.

[fredrik-hellmangroup]

maybe fixed in #701 , please confirm

[hklcf]

tested on my server

I get the same things as @hklcf after about a hour with google. Seems to go longer with PTC, but I need to verify that.

[SteffanLong]

The issue is with the authentication token not getting refreshed. We're aware and it will be fixed. :)

[fredrik-hellmangroup]

also reported in #532

[L3nderSson]

Is this problem fixed already? I got it three times the last 3 Hours :-(

[hklcf]

@L3nderSson seem work fine for me.

[L3nderSson]

You changed something? Or just an Update?

[hklcf]

@L3nderSson im using fb2cca3

[dmateusp]

A change corrected a wrong behavior (teleporting to pokestops causing softban), that now should be fixed.

[hklcf]

work fine on latest master and dev branch

[L3nderSson]

Hm okay I updated after this three times one hour ago, So normally It must work

[dmateusp]

@L3nderSson the change that fixed it was made 20-30mins ago

[L3nderSson]

Oh damn thanks! So I will update later when I'll come home. Thanks guys for your help, I'm absolutly new ✌🏾️

[dmateusp]

Just comment here once you update so we know if it's fixed :) @L3nderSson

[L3nderSson]

Yes I will! Ehm and by the way, the right way for Update ist git pull and then the Python install require or Is that the wrong way?

[L3nderSson]

I ask cause my cmd said: " please commit your changes or stash them before you can merge. Aborting"

[dmateusp]

@L3nderSson most of the times you won't have to install again, just commit your changes and then pull from the branch. Then it will list the merging issues

[guyz]

Running latest dev branch. Problem persists. After 20-30 minutes this happens.

[jaerak]

While we wait for a commit on this to come through, maybe a batch file (for windows at least) that closes/reruns the script every hour would work?

[L3nderSson]

I didnt have it no more, now I have the problem with scanning area for objects :D
