Instapy: browser.find_element_by_xpath

[jeffreylm]

Hello Everyone,

The

This error started on the 4th of September. I believe Instagram updated the adroid app also on that date.
The screen to unfollow comes up, then it spits out the text below after about 5-10 sec and then quits.
This is the unfollow text in quickstart.py: session.unfollow_users(amount=1500, onlyInstapyFollowed = False)

Logged in successfully!
Number of people followed automatically remaining: 11070

I can confirm I am experiencing the same thing starting on Sept 4th as well. This issue seems to break the unfollow functionality -- so I have had to manually disable the follow and unfollow functions temporarily.

can someone test my fix ? https://github.com/converge/InstaPy/commit/552bd6ea84f54d1e8611ddebeae081bc52f4af6e

Fix Unfollow (Working October 8th) @converge @randysinnott @jeffreylm
Change line ~110 in "instapy > unfollow_util.py" to:

# find dialog box dialog = browser.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[4]/div/div/div[2]/div/div[2]')

Don't do git so someone else update this

This problem should be fix with the latest version, if you still face this issue, pls reopen it.
