Instapy: Why is the script stopping

[wizarduk]

Why is the script stopping?
Can i set it to run without having to log in each day?

This is the error

File "quickstart.py", line 22, in
session.end()
File "/root/InstaPy/instapy/instapy.py", line 1401, in end

Has anyone got the settings they are using so i can run this on cron and just leave it running ?

[converge]

@wizarduk do you have some clue why the cookies aren't being deleted ?

[wizarduk]

@converge no clue i ran this and it was working for a good 6 hours then it shut down...

I want to run this and leave it running so wanted to know the best way...

[wizarduk]

Does the cron job run in screen ?

[converge]

@wizarduk pls, update your chromedriver, they fixed this bug at 2.32 version, you're using 2.29

• Fixes a bug where Chromedriver fails to delete cookies in Chrome 62+. (2.32)

[wizarduk]

@converge how do i do that ?

[wizarduk]

@converge

why is the guide saying this then ?>

git clone https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy.git
$ wget "http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/2.29/chromedriver_linux64.zip"

[converge]

@wizarduk you're right, the doc is outdated, just created an issue to update it.

[wizarduk]

@converge When i am setting up cron do i need to do a screen and then cd InstaPy and then crontab -e ?

[wizarduk]

@converge i want to start the script once a day via cron what do i need to do to set it can you give me a guide ?

[converge]

@wizarduk you just need to setup cron , don't need to use screen for it.

I use cron in this way:

1 */3 * * * killall Xvfb
20 */3 * * * cd /opt/InstaPy/ && python /opt/InstaPy/bot.py >> /tmp/cron_debug_instapy.log 2>&1

it will run each 3 hrs, 00:20 , 03:20 and so on.

[wizarduk]

@converge so if i wanted once every 24hrs its this

00* cd/InstaPy && python3.4 /cd/InstaPy/quickstart.py >> /tmp/cron_debug_instapy.log.2>&1

This does not seem to work for me on 62.0.3202.75 version.
I am getting the same error 'Network.deleteCookie was not found'

[wizarduk]

@PriKahar update your chrome driver
