Expected built scraper binary at: {built_binary}

Error message

Expected built scraper binary at: {built_binary}

What it means

Raised by Outreach.build_scraper after `go build` succeeds but the expected binary is not at scraper_dir/<binary_name>. This means the Go toolchain produced output under a different name/location than expected (Go names binaries after the module/directory, not necessarily the expected name).

Solutions

1. Pin the scraper release version whose module name matches binary_name
2. Build with an explicit output flag: subprocess.run(['go','build','-o', binary_name], cwd=scraper_dir, check=True) so the binary lands where expected
3. Verify the extracted scraper's go.mod module name matches the expected binary name

Example fix

// before
subprocess.run(["go", "build"], cwd=scraper_dir, check=True)
built_binary = os.path.join(scraper_dir, binary_name)

// after
subprocess.run(["go", "build", "-o", binary_name], cwd=scraper_dir, check=True)
built_binary = os.path.join(scraper_dir, binary_name)

try:
    outreach.build_scraper()
except FileNotFoundError as exc:
    # binary landed under the Go module's own name — build with explicit -o
    subprocess.run(["go", "build", "-o", binary_name], cwd=scraper_dir, check=True)

When it happens

Trigger: The Go module's directory name differs from binary_name, so `go build -`-style default output lands elsewhere; go.mod module renames in a newer scraper release; or a stale/empty build directory.

Common situations: Upgrading google-maps-scraper to a version whose module name changed; building on a machine where GOBIN/GOFLAGS redirect output; running build with cached failure without check=True catching it.
