Discordchatexporter: Object must implement IConvertible

[larsenv]

I get this when I'm trying to export on the latest DiscordChatExporter. v2.11 works fine, and I haven't tried v2.12 (want me to try that?)

Interesting. Please do try 2.12 to help me narrow down the issue. Are you sure it's actually version-specific and not just different channels or something?

[larsenv]

Sorry, I kept forgetting about this.

It still happens on 2.12.

[Puyodead1]

Same issue here

[b1k]

To replicate I tried downloading 2 channels on a discord server. For the first channel the messages pops up early on, and on the 2nd channel, this error pops up when the bar is 3/4 through. Both channels have 100K+ messages.

Edit (I'm using the latest version): I downloaded the 2 channels with only messages in 2019 and they were successful. Both have about 60K messages each.

I can't reproduce this, can any of you invite me to the guild where this happens?

[Tyrrrz]

Looks like it breaks on this message, the content of which represents a valid JSON date.

I made a workaround but the underlying issue is the fact that JSON.net has a massive design oversight that the author doesn't see as such: https://github.com/JamesNK/Newtonsoft.Json/issues/862
