Instapy: Message: no such element error

[ihsaannn]

Hi ,

When i execute script below , i'm getting error .

Script :

from instapy import InstaPy

if you don't provide arguments, the script will look for INSTA_USER and INSTA_PW in the environment

session = InstaPy(username='*', password='**', nogui=True)
session.login()

Reduces the amount of time under sleep to a given percentage

It might be useful to test the tool or to increase the time for slower connections (percentage > 100)

session.set_sleep_reduce(95)
session.follow_user_followers(['vmilor','dontyoueatcom', 'aslangurme','bizevdeyokuz','beingurmetr','damakcatlatan','ayhansicimoglu','teomanhunal','cuneytasan'], amount=20, random=False, sleep_delay=60)

Error - Log :

Try this @ihsaannn

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]')

Hi,

I changed in "instapy > unfollow_util.py"
the line :

# find dialog box dialog =
 browser.find_element_by_xpath("//div[text()='Following']/following-sibling::div")

By

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

But i still have :

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"/html/body/div[4]/div/div/div[2]/div/div[2]"}

any idea?
Regards
