RipMe cannot extract imgur galleries (JSON error)

RipMe cannot extract imgur galleries

I believe there was a new change on Imgur that is now preventing RipMe from automatically grabbing a gallery. The logfile shows a JSON error when reading the link. (I am now back to doing the downloading manually via the Imgur site).

Example; _http://imgur.com/a/1SQ1p/all _ - has 107 images

RipMe runs but no images downloaded; http://i.imgur.com/8SPnwFL.png

Ripping in RipMe ends up in an empty folder; http://i.imgur.com/3qLKvfQ.png

Blah.

This is what happens when I stop using software I wrote.

I can confirm this is a bug in v1.2.12.

The error is in ImgurRipper.java:230 and occurs for any image without a description. When the code attempts image.getString("description") it fails because the value mapped to description for the image is null.

Ripme can successfully extract images that do have a description. For example, it will successfully retrieve http://imgur.com/a/tRtKF.

Perform a proactive check for null beforehand using the JsonObject.isNull(String name) method:

if (!image.isNull("description")) {
    description = image.getString("description");
}

Is it possible to downgrade until this bug is resolved?

Any ETA on when a fix can be deployed?
