<class 'AttributeError'> - 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'date'

Dear Dev,

I have this error:

`2024-08-28 10:32:08 :: [product.py ] - [release_date_extractor ] - [ERROR ] - Release date does not have a Z for the asin B0CR5PRBVW.

2024-08-28 10:32:08 :: [main.py ] - [ ] - [CRITICAL] - Error during bot execution: <class 'AttributeError'> - 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'date'`

I'll start by saying that I've been using the bot for about 2 weeks without any problems. In the last few days it's giving me this error. How can I fix it?

Hi @the0x1d3 , First of all, thank you for choosing my bot for your Telegram channel. The more people use it, the more I can maintain and improve it in the future. Unfortunately, at the moment, my API key has expired because there haven’t been any recent purchases through my link. For this reason, I can’t fix any bugs on my own until a purchase is made through my link.

However, I think I’ve identified the issue. If you can run some tests, we can check what’s causing the error. Specifically, the product you mentioned with ASIN: B0CR5PRBVW does not have a release date. In the file: /src/utils/product.py, the method release_date_extractor wasn’t handling the error properly. It handles the error if the release is None, but something must have happened that prevented it from processing correctly.

Go to the file: /src/utils/product.py and modify the release_date_extractor method as follows:

else:
            logging.error(f"Release date does not have a Z for the "
                        f"asin {asin}.")
            logging.error(f"{release} -- {release is None} -- {type(release)}")

After doing this, you need to force the program to search for that ASIN (B0CR5PRBVW) again. This way, we can see what’s causing the error and proceed to resolve it.
