RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'browser.start' was never awaited and nothing is printed on async [BUG]

[elblogbruno]

Describe the bug
I'm putting this api inside a discord bot using discord.py, thus I'm running the api inside an async function. I'm getting this error that makes the bot close.
RuntimeError: Event loop is closed
sys:1: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'Launcher.killChrome' was never awaited

The buggy code

async def tiktok_interact(message,channel):

trending = api.trending(results)

for tiktok in trending:
    # Prints the text of the tiktok
    print(tiktok['desc'])
    await channel.send(tiktok['video']['cover'])

print(len(trending))

Expected behavior

await channel.send function makes the bot send whatever text or input I insert.

Screenshots

Additional context

I'm running it on a debian 9 VPS.

You need to update your TikTokApi package. TikTok made changes yesterday that broke the package. Update with the following command.

pip install TikTokApi --upgrade

[elblogbruno]

I'm still having the same issue!

[davidteather]

I'll be releasing a patch later today that might help your issue.

[elblogbruno]

Thank you!🤗

[elblogbruno]

Now I simply don't have an answer back from the library and after a long time this pops up

[davidteather]

I'm not super great with asyncio and I haven't run into this issue so I'll leave this open hoping someone else finds a solution.

[Inzilkin]

Yes, i know the solution

1. Rewrite all library to async
   // async def ..
2. delete from start pyppeteer class asyncio loop
   
3. start browser like that:
   
4. You have work async library

[Inzilkin]

3.1. Use aiohttp or another async library.
Thanks for reading my solution :)

[Inzilkin]

@davidteather, please rewrite requests to aiohttp.

[elblogbruno]

There's any update about this?
Thanks

[elblogbruno]

Now is not printing anything.

[elblogbruno]

pyppeteer/pyppeteer#143 Based on this I added autoClose to false and now it does not print anything and the program closes.

I'm getting the same thing : RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'browser.start' was never awaited then gc.collect()

I can confirm running this in a discord bot breaks things. In my case, it's https://github.com/davidteather/TikTok-Api/blob/master/TikTokApi/browser.py#L52-L57. Writing those to use the current event loop, and using run_in_executor should fix the issue and allow it to be used with async libraries

update on this - im working on what could be a potential fix

[elblogbruno]

Awesome @crazygmr101 let us know!

[crazygmr101]

I submitted #198 - I'm not sure if it fixes this issue, but I did run it in a discord bot with

@bot.command()
async def tiktok(ctx: commands.Context, link: str):
    video = api.getTikTokByUrl(link)["itemInfo"]["itemStruct"]["video"]
    print(video)

[davidteather]

Try to use my comment on #235 it should resolve your issue. It might throw a lot of errors when the bot is closed, but it'll work.

[elblogbruno]

Ok thanks I will test asap!
