my quickstart.py file below

from instapy import InstaPy

insta_password = 'password'

# if you want to run this script on a server, 
# simply add nogui=True to the InstaPy() constructor

InstaPy(username=insta_username, password=insta_password, use_firefox=True, page_delay=25)\
  .login()\
  .set_upper_follower_count(limit=3000)\

@BernardoGO Any ideas on this one?

I'm a beginner so I can't really help you with the problem at hand. However, I had the same issue and think it is related to the "random=False" statement in the .interact_*() function. I don't think that's a really satisfying solution, but setting the random=False statements to true, made the script run for me again.

*Edit: Using a too high amount seems to cause problems for me as well, so I keep it at 100

[gitpatrickhub]

@nnvum I tried both suggestions, but still receive the same error.

@BernardoGO @timgrossmann I'd be willing to post $10 bounty to get this working on RPI3 and #583 changes implemented. Let me know what you think.

@gitpatrickhub https://www.bountysource.com/issues/48418062-error-using-interact_user_followers-on-rpi3 😉

[gitpatrickhub]

@timgrossmann bounty posted. The fix should also resolve the inability to comment on a post. Let me know if additional details are needed.

[gitpatrickhub]

@timgrossmann @BernardoGO I did a pull this morning for the latest changes and commented line 15 out of the instapy.py file due to some issues with Clarifai, which I do not use. After making this change the Like feature started to work.

Commenting still not functioning, same issue as reported in #494
I think this item can be closed and the bounty moved to #494

[timgrossmann]

@gitpatrickhub I think moving bounties doesn't work.
We'll close this once the problem in #494 has been resolved

[gitpatrickhub]

@timgrossmann thanks! Hopefully someone can help figure out the issue and claim the bounty.

I am super sick, So I don't know how to do push pull git. But changing the xpath to

dialog = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//*[contains(text(), 'followers')]")
in two sections in unfollow.py it should fix the error.

[tomStegmaier]

@westondeboer i have edited the unfollo_util.py like you said, but i still got the following error:

('following_link error n', 'list index out of range')

does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

The bug is fixed. Please reopen it if you still need some help.
