Many people who have 1000+ friends have seen this odd issue where the last ~3 friends not exported. It gets stuck there.

The way it currently works, I count the number of friends available for export and once each of their information is retrieved I decrement that counter. Once that counter reaches 0, it will show the export screen.

Some theory what might be causing this:

  • Chrome freezing: not allowing it to continue, maybe reached max heap?
  • Error happening: Error occurs, when that happens, Chrome just stalls, would be nice to find that error.
  • Code Error: Perfectly valid to blame me :) Maybe I missed something.

It would be nice if I can get more info regarding this.

I am having a similar issue and I have only 79 "friends." The first 49 get processed, but nothing appears to happen after that. If this is not the same issue, please accept my apology and I will start a new bug. This is on a desktop version of Chrome. I am currently running the exporter on my Cr-48 and will let you know if that completes.

No need to apologize, many people are having this issue. Can you visit http://m.facebook.com, verify that your logged on. What happens if you restart your browser and resume the export, will it go after 49?

Can you please see if you find any errors within the debugger: How to debug when things go wrong

Anything that can help me solve this would be appreciated :) I initially created that for myself to export my ~500 friends, then people started liking this process.

Ok. While I was logged in to the regular facebook site, I was not logged in to the mobile site. Logging in to the mobile site and then exporting again has got the process started again.

As for restarting, I tried that twice. The first time, I left the cache in place. The second time, I deleted it. Both times it hung at 49 contacts.

I just checked again. Down to 5 contacts left. Sadly, I performed two steps at once, so I cannot be certain whether the mobile login or the restart corrected the issue.

There might still be a possibility of determining which of the two may have resolved the issue. On my Cr-48, none of my contacts actually got to the processed stage. I have not rebooted or logged out, but did login to the mobile site. I am attempting to export on the Cr-48 again.

If this does not complete, I will restart the chromebook and try again.

Hmm, I believe the issue here is that the mobile site is not staying logged in. Perhaps if you save your password when logging into Facebook it should work. On your desktop, you don't need to delete the cache. It will repeat where it started. Have you looked at How to debug when things go wrong to see if any errors exist? I hope its not the querySelector error again.

Checking the console on the Cr-48 (where no contacts are getting processed), shows the following: Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'querySelector'.

I am running developer mode, so the Chrome Browser version is: 12.0.733.0

On the desktop, the console shows only this error now: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'style' of null -- occuring during onload, attributed to lines 1 & 2 of background.html
