[IMPROVEMENT] Upgrade to Ktor 2 about skrape.it

[christian-draeger]

I will have a look this week

[christian-draeger]

Support will be released within the next few days.
I just merged a PR we already got a while ago. Means current Snapshot version will support ktor2 already

Just tried out 1.3.0-alpha.1, worked great for me!

@christian-draeger
When is the final version 1.3.0 coming out ?
I can still see only 1.3.0-alpha.1 in maven central

[cjguttormsson]

I've run into an issue due to this. I was getting java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: io.ktor.client.features.HttpTimeout, and it turns out that that's due to a conflict between the 1.x.x version of ktor (from skrape.it) and the 2.x.x version of ktor (which I was using directly). Updating to ktor 2 would be appreciated, so that I and others can use the latest versions of both libraries simultaneously.

released version 1.3.0-alpha.1 to maven central.
will play around with it a bit more and afterwards release 1.3.0

if anyone else wants to try out version 1.3.0-alpha.1 in the meantime, it would be greatly appreciated. :)

I have experimented with 1.3.0-alpha.1 because my project was already using Ktor 2.0. Seems like it is working fine.
But I was getting the error mentioned in the following image

So I needed to add resources.excludes.add("mozilla/public-suffix-list.txt") in the packagingOptions

So now packagingOptions will be like this:

packagingOptions {
    resources.excludes.add("META-INF/DEPENDENCIES")
    resources.excludes.add("mozilla/public-suffix-list.txt")
  }

Then I checked if this error is occuring in previous version or not. Found that:

• 1.1.6 needs only "META-INF/DEPENDENCIES"
• After that we need to add both "META-INF/DEPENDENCIES" and "mozilla/public-suffix-list.txt"

[christian-draeger]

Great I will release as final 1.3.0 version soon

Just want to chime in, that using Ktor 2.x.x with current version of skrape will broke AsyncFetcher and HttpFetcher (due to incompatibility mentioned by @cjguttormsson)

[christian-draeger]

Thx for verifying

Any news here? I just discovered scrape.it and 1.3.0-alpha.1 seems to work like a charm. Wondering whats holding up a proper release ?
