Instapy: selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: cannot focus element

Created on 26 Oct 2017  路  2Comments  路  Source: timgrossmann/InstaPy

I noticed that I've been getting a ton of crashes, roughly 2-3 pictures into running the script. This is all while running on my Ubuntu server on AWS.

I did a git pull last night and ever since then the script crashes almost as soon as it starts. The only file that was tinkered with was "quickstart.py"

Error:
