Scraped position data incorrect when user has more than one position in same company

The profile shown here has multiple roles at the same company, “Excelian | Luxoft Financial Services”.

In the scraped profile, both of these roles are collapsed into a single one, where the company name is listed as the title and no companyName field is present. The dates shown are from the first role, but the description is from the second.

positions: [
    {
      title: 'Excelian | Luxoft Financial Services',
      link: 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/excelian/',
      url: 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/excelian/',
      location: 'Sydney, Australia',
      description: 'Mxml developer focused on confirmation work',
      date1: 'Sep 2016 – Present',
      date2: '3 yrs 10 mos'
    },

@grapevineai all of the scrapping is based on profileScraperTemplate.js:

• template is an array of LinkedIn sections object, each object will be translated to be the final scrapedin result to the user, it has basically 2 properties:
  • selector: a css selector which is an HTML container element which represents a LinkedIn section, such as Education or About.
  • fields: it can be two options:
    • String: a CSS selector that will actually scrap an HTML element value to store and return to the user. It can be two options:
    • Object: will do recursively do the same job in the current section. It’s necessary when we have “elements inside other elements” such as roles from LinkedIn’s positions/experiences

It’s all based on CSS selectors as you can see, it’s not hard. The rest of the code is mostly to read that template and it barely has bugs. Thank you for your contribution, I spend my time here doing this project without earning a single penny so it’s good to have help, thank you 😄
