All Medium Articles are being saved to "drafts" array

[austriker27]

Hello,

I followed your README instructions and all my posts are being saved to the "drafts" array per the conversion_report. None of my medium articles are drafts, they are in fact public posts. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

I copied and pasted your template.js file so it looks like :

module.exports = {
  render: function(data) {
    // data.published is Date ISO format: 2018-04-16T14:48:00.000Z
    var date = new Date(data.published);
    var prettyDate =
      date.getFullYear() +
      '-' +
      (date.getMonth() + 1).toString().padStart(2, 0) +
      '-' +
      date
        .getDate()
        .toString()
        .padStart(2, 0); //2018-04-16
    
    var template = `\
---
slug: "/posts/${data.titleForSlug}/"
date: ${prettyDate}
title: "${data.title}"
draft: false
description: "${data.description}"
categories: []
keywords: [${data.tags.join(',')}]
---

${data.body}
`;

    return template;
  },
  getOptions: function() {
    return {
      folderForEachSlug: true, // separate folder for each blog post, where index.md and post images will live
      imagePath: '/images2', // <img src="/images2/[filename]" >. Used in the markdown files.
      defaultCodeBlockLanguage: 'js', // code fenced by default will be ``` with no lang. If most of your code blocks are in a specific lang, set this here.
    };
  },
};

Unless Im misreading something it looks like drafts should be set to false.

Haven't used this in a while, but here's the logic to determine if the file should be a draft:

export-medium-to-gatsby/lib/converter.js

Line 109 in e908b65

is_draft = filename.startsWith('draft')

Can you confirm that your file names don't start with draft?

Also I wonder if this helps or not

Thanks for the quick reply! I can confirm none of my posts start with "draft".

#7

Perhaps, I'll try to update the lib file with this change

[austriker27]

I updated the converter.js file with the changes from #7 but Im still getting the same bug. I'm not sure if I did the changes correctly though because its my first time editing a global package like this.

[jamischarles]

No promises on turnaround time, but if you're willing to send me your medium export zip, I can run it locally so see if I can reproduce the issue and then fix it.

[austriker27]

@jamischarles That would be pretty incredible. Not sure what Im doing wrong, I even tried to remove the conditional that checks for the is_draft.

Export is here (it will self destruct after one download 💣)

[jamischarles]

Sorry forgot about this lol. Digging into this now. This is what I'm seeing currently. Do you get the same thing?
posts drafts that were not attempted: 26

[austriker27]

Yup! @jamischarles

[jamischarles]

Alright. Fixed. I merged a PR about a year ago, and that PR broke the happy path. Sorry about that.

I'll need to add tests before I allow any more PRs.

Thanks for being patient and filing this. Let me know if you find any more bugs. It should exclude replies, but I don't think that's working properly because medium changed their markup.

[austriker27]

Cool cool. Thanks a lot for sinking your teeth into this!

Np 👍
