Instapy: Set_unfollow_active_users not working

[thomascello]

Hi,

First of all thanks for all your work!

I would like to unfollow 5 accounts that have been followed by Instapy, starting from the oldest followed account to the newest, and only unfollow inactive accounts (that didn't like one of my 2 last pictures for example).

To do so, I'm using this code:

InstaPy(username=insta_username, password=insta_password)\
  .login()\
  .set_unfollow_active_users(enabled=True, posts=2)\
  .unfollow_users(amount=5, onlyInstapyFollowed = True, onlyInstapyMethod = 'FIFO', sleep_delay=10)\
  .end()

But I get this error message:

Logged in successfully!
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "unfollow.py", line 8, in <module>
    .set_unfollow_active_users(enabled=True, posts=2)\
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'unfollow_users'

Interchange the order of set_unfollow_active_users and unfollow_users does not solve anything:

InstaPy(username=insta_username, password=insta_password)\
  .login()\
  .unfollow_users(amount=5, onlyInstapyFollowed = True, onlyInstapyMethod = 'FIFO', sleep_delay=10)\
  .set_unfollow_active_users(enabled=True, posts=5)\
  .end()

Error message:

--> Cannot Unfollow From InstaPy 0, now unfollowing: b'vicky.johansson' #Because already unfollowed by hand
--> Cannot Unfollow From InstaPy 0, now unfollowing: b'_angel_insta_' #Because already unfollowed by hand
--> Ongoing Unfollow From InstaPy 1, now unfollowing: b'carlosjthode'
--> Total unfollowNum reached it's amount given  1
--> Total people unfollowed : 1 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "unfollow.py", line 9, in <module>
    .set_unfollow_active_users(enabled=True, posts=2)\
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'end'

When doing the ".set_unfollow_active_users(...)", it seems unable to load all the accounts that liked my last pictures (around 300), directly goes to the previous picture, still unable to load all the accounts that liked the picture and then crashes...

Thanks so much in advance for your help!
Have a great day!
Thomas

Ps: Lastly, what do exactly mean FIFO vs LIFO?
Pss: I would also be interested in being able to unfollow accounts that didn't follow back in a given amount of time. Does this function already exist?

hey @thomascello , thank you for you detailed informations. More people are having issues with this function, I'll take a look on it. FIFO (first in, first out), LIFO...

*I think your InstaPy is outdated

[thomascello]

Hey @converge,

Thanks for your very quick answer! I look forward to know more about this issue.

*Indeed, it was outdated. However I just git pulled but still the same issues....
*FIFO: so it means that the oldest followed account will be the first the be unfollowed right?

[converge]

@thomascello, just made a PR #867 , can you test it ?

about FIFO, you're right, when you follow users they go to a list, when unfollowing this list will use FIFO to unfollow then in order.

I just did it!

I ran:

InstaPy(username=insta_username, password=insta_password)\
  .login()\
  .set_dont_unfollow_active_users(enabled=True, posts=2)\
  .unfollow_users(amount=1, onlyInstapyFollowed = True, onlyInstapyMethod = 'FIFO', sleep_delay=10)\
  .end()

I got this error message:

Thanks for your help!
