unknown predefined entity  

[kseistrup]

The latest gorss compiled from master (f7c469b) complains about https://koldfront.dk/log.rss:

error fetching url: https://koldfront.dk/log.rss, err: unknown predefined entity  

But isn't   a valid HTML entity?

Very strange, I got that error one out of 10 attempts. Not sure what's causing it. While debugging I couldn't trigger it.

I will have to dig deeper into this when I have more time. But currently it actually seems to work. Do you get that error every time?

Do you get that error every time?

To be fair, I have only seen that particular error message once, but I also don't run gorss continuously: Sometimes it duplicates lines in the Feeds window, but I don't have enough data to submit a bug.

I did get it a few minutes ago, though:

2019/10/13 10:46:45 rss.go:68: error fetching url: https://koldfront.dk/log.rss, err: unknown predefined entity

I happened across this somehow and decided to dig a bit. It looks like it was a bug in gofeed that was fixed. Here's the commit:

mmcdole/gofeed@22a67f9

Looks like it was decoding only certain HTML entities, and   was not one of them. So, if the version of gofeed is bumped, it should fix it here as well.

I bumped the gofeed version to 1.1.0. I couldn't trigger this error with the given feed. Not before and not after.

@kseistrup could you build a new version based on master branch and see if you can trigger this bug?

It seemed to go well for the first couple of seconds, then it segfaulted:

Strange, I can't seem to trigger that. Can you post your configuration?
