`Remote end closed connection without response` when using `Geocaching.search()`

[BelKed]

When trying to load caches in some location using Geocaching.search(), it doesn't work because of error (Remote end closed connection without response).
However, loading a single geocache using Geocaching.get_cache() seems to work fine...

• OS: macOS Monterey 12.6.1
• Python version: 3.9.2
• pycaching version: 4.2.3

Python code with error:

import pycaching

geocaching = pycaching.login("Username", "Password")

point = geocaching.geocode("Prague")

for cache in geocaching.search(point, limit=10):
    print(cache.name)

Edit: Updated the traceback.

[FriedrichFroebel]

Thanks for your report. When reviewing the latest pull request, I stumbled upon some issue when updating the test cases which seems to be related to this. At the moment some tests for the search functionality are either out-of-date or marked as expected failures.

I did not have yet have enough time for looking into this. Feel free to have a deeper look at this to get it back working as expected.

[OliverBurgert]

I have exactly the same issue when I try the example from the docs:

point = Point(56.25263, 15.26738)

for cache in geocaching.search(point, limit=50):
    if cache.type == Type.traditional:
        print(cache.name)

Changing the limit (even to 1) does not make any difference.

[FriedrichFroebel]

I am not sure if we are able to do anything about this as already mentioned in my last comment. We might be able to catch this in https://github.com/tomasbedrich/pycaching/blob/master/pycaching/geocaching.py#L94 and report "Cannot load page" instead, but this would not be really helpful either. If you want to dig into this to find a solution, feel free to do so.

This might be fixed by #175 as well, but this is still work in progress without recent changes.

I get the same issue except the error message is Remote end closed connection without response

I somehow forgot to mention this issue in #206, where it was also fixed...
