KeyError - "name='YII_CSRF_TOKEN', domain=None, path=None"

[Butterfly-Dragon]

Tried to download something from Henaifoundry because i'm a perv because i'm a perv.

I am getting this error:

error   hentaifoundry: An unexpected error occurred: KeyError - "name='YII_CSRF_TOKEN', domain=None, path=None". Please run gallery-dl again with the --verbose flag, copy its output and report this issue on https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/issues .

the since the log is already verbose i went there and it states this:

Might be an issue elsewhere too that uses cross site request forgery tokens to avoid unauthorized bots.
I just found out by chance.

There have been some small changes regarding CSRF tokens and setting content filters in the last version (1.15.2, commit 783e0af), but it works on CI and on my machine without problems.

$ gallery-dl https://www.hentai-foundry.com/pictures/user/thekite/

Does this error also happen for you on an older version, e.g. 1.15.1?
Does it happen for all hentaifoundry URLs, only some of them, or only after going through a few user profiles first?

[Butterfly-Dragon]

Happens to all hentaifoundry urls and from the start. 🤔
And this is the first version where it happened.
But it could be a coincidence.
Sometimes people change something but the error is due to the site changing how it works not the original code.

EDIT: Also i tried to go to some hentaifoundry pages and look around for stuff with my normal browser and then export the cookie... yup, same error. so it's not really something that happens because of that.

[mikf]

Could you run gallery-dl with a hentai-foundry URL and -o write-pages=all as cmdline option and post the files created in your current working directory here?

$ gallery-dl -o write-pages=all https://www.hentai-foundry.com/pictures/user/thekite/

[Butterfly-Dragon]

uhm... sorry about the previous edits but i realized only after posting that i did not anonymize the file because i thought i had put everything in the cookies file... and that was not the case. 😅

[mikf]

Well, thank you for this, but I would've hoped for a crash and the HTTP requests leading to it,
to figure out what's going on on your end and why you don't get a YII_CSRF_TOKEN cookie, etc.

It would be really helpful if you could record, with -o write-pages=all, what happens before a crash. Otherwise all I can do is guesswork and maybe roll some of the changes from 783e0af back to how it was before.

[Butterfly-Dragon]

Yeah. That's the problem. If i run it normally i... don't even get to the first downloaded image. 😅

It's not something that happens "after a while" or... "after downloading a few images" it's something that starts immediately. 😅

That is why i thought the problem was in the config file. Because i did not load the config file to do what you asked me.

[Butterfly-Dragon]

currently running it until i see if it creates a problem.

[Butterfly-Dragon]

yup, can confirm, went through the entire gallery without a single hitch.

[Butterfly-Dragon]

this time i'm uploading without the images because i doubt you need the actual 1 GB of smut, just the logs
Files.zip

[mikf]

I've figured out what's causing it: Your global cookies.txt file already contains a YII_CSRF_TOKEN cookie for hentai-foundry.com. Unset the cookies file for hentaifoundry and it'll work without crashing:

        "hentaifoundry":
        {
            "cookies": null,
            "filename": "{user} - {title} - {filename}.{extension}"
        },

edit: or you use the changes from 0211af7
