Blogger Importer fails after 20 items, then sticks at "Set Authors"

[yorksranter]

Using the OAuth branch version of the Blogger Importer plugin (​http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/blogger-importer/branches/oauth/ - tickets #14525 and #15290 refer), the OAuth handshake occurs correctly and 20 or so items are imported. This may or may not require hitting "continue".

The plugin in then asks to "set authors". Once the user mapping is set, any attempt to import more posts fails as the plugin remains in the "set authors" state.

We have now reached the marker of 12 months since I initially reported the bug in #14525 and this is a *bit* of a wait for an import.

Still broken in 3.3.1, in the same way. Possible to import 13 posts, then clear all data, then start again.

New "clean-blogger-importer" doesn't work at all, old getaddrinfo() error back.

Version number indicates when the bug was initially introduced/reported. That said, since the import code actually resides in the Blogger Importer plugin, the core version shouldn't affect how it works.

The "new" clean-blogger-importer is just a fork of the old importer with some code to filter messages, it's not the created by the core team so issues with that don't get reported here but against that plugin.

I tried to reproduce this issue on a smaller data set by setting 'MAX_RESULTS' to a smaller value, seems to be intermittant. Perhaps the timeout instead?

New blogger importer code has been pushed into 0.5 with a slew of new fixes. If this can still be reproduced, re-open this ticket.
