Updated parsing on lines 385 and 397 to account for a slightly changed structure in edx's website. Sections can now have one of two classes: `outline-item section` or `outline-item section scored`. Changed code for subsections accordingly too.
recently edx slightly changed their website's structure for some courses: - sections now have one of two classes: `outline-item section` or `outline-item section scored` - subsections have one of two classes: `vertical outline-item focusable` or `vertical outline-item focusable scored`. this resulted in 0 downloadable sections being found for some courses, e.g. https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:MITx+14.750x+3T2019/course/. A slight change in edx_dl/parsing.py in the class NewEdxPageExtractor resolves the issue. Class identifier has been replaced with a list representing both possibilities. This should therefore work for both new and old courses as well as mixed instances.

One course recently had the The other course has always been I really appreciate your contribution! I didn't realize it was such a simple change that caused the parser to fail. |
