Cheerio versions > 0.3.0 fail when trying to get access to selectors nested two or more levels deep. about cheerio HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks @ccarollo for your kind words. I'll look into this problem.

In the meantime could you fix the formatting of this issue? It's making everything a link - I think you need to indent the outermost <div>s 4 spaces to kick in the correct formatting.

I couldn't get the formatting resolved so I went ahead and made a gist. I have update the original issue with the gist url. Hope this helps and thanks for looking into the issue.

This issue is because of a recursion problem in htmlparser2. I've sent a patch which was accepted, but the current release still doesn't have it. If you would like to fix the issue, go to your nearest ./node_modules folder and navigate to htmlparser's ./lib folder. Then change the 18th line of DomUtils.js from:

childs = filterArray(test, childs, limit);

to

childs = filterArray(test, childs, recurse, limit);

Hope this helps.

@ccarollo Did this get resolved?

from cheerio.

Yes this appears to be resolved. It looks as though the bug in HTMLParser2 was the culprit and since @siddMahen's fix was included in version 2.1.2 of HTMLParser2 all is good. Thanks for everyones help.
