Try to update driver https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/

[converge]

if anyone have time to take a look on it or try to fix it, it's something related to the javascript. @dreamyUB that would help too.

[dreamyUB]

@converge Well I see he is using 2.30 and latest is 2.33, we dont have respone from @datteba maybe updating driver worked for him

[datteba]

It seems to work now. Thanks @dreamyUB

[datteba]

Still the same problem :(

@dreamyUB @timgrossmann

[dreamyUB]

Which version of python you got? @datteba

[datteba]

@dreamyUB 2.7

[datteba]

[timgrossmann]

@datteba What methods are you using?
Please paste your quickstart file

[mcafigo]

I'm getting the exact same issue. Running Python 3.6.3 as well as chromedriver 2.33

It's stopping anywhere between 20 and 90 likes for me. Have only just started using it so am using basic commands

My quickstart.py

from instapy import InstaPy

insta_username = ''
insta_password = ''

# if you want to run this script on a server, 
# simply add nogui=True to the InstaPy() constructor
session = InstaPy(username=insta_username, password=insta_password)
session.login()

# set up all the settings
session.set_upper_follower_count(limit=2500)
session.set_do_comment(True, percentage=50)
session.set_comments(['Awesome!', 'Great shot!!', 'Nice!', 'Love this!'])
session.set_dont_include(['friend1', 'friend2', 'friend3'])
session.set_dont_like(['pizza', 'girl', 'sad'])

# do the actual liking
session.like_by_tags(['explore', 'travel'], amount=100)

# end the bot session
session.end()

Now I also get this error running Python 2.7.10 and chromedriver 2.33 on OS X Sierra.

Edit: this exception now occurs every time I run the script.

[rvoets]

@converge I did some more testing and found out that the exception didn't occur when I left the screen of my macbook on all night. Normally the display automatically turns off after 10 minutes but this time I changed the settings using the Energy Saver app and the script is still running flawlessly after 20+ hours.

Sounds a bit weird so I will look into this more thoroughly but for once my script didn't crash so that's already a big relief.

[timgrossmann]

@rvoets You could try to use the relatively new headless feature which does not rely on the screen web browser open all the time #1020

[rvoets]

@timgrossmann Thanks, I will give that a try.

[rvoets]

@timgrossmann Unfortunately the new headless feature doesn't work for me. After about 10 likes the script crashes with the "Element not visible" exception.

[chrismaltais]

hey @rvoets, can you add the following line to the unfollow_util.py file, in line 344:

browser.get_screenshot_as_file('screen-at-error.png')

This will take a screenshot at the point of error when executing the script and save as file screen-at-error.png in the instapy folder. If you could post the screenshot here it may help us debug the Headless feature! Thanks :)

[rvoets]

@chrismaltais Sure, will do!

[jackpot001]

I'm still getting the entry data error. Anyone else managed to fix it without using the new headless feature?

[rvoets]

Same here, every day this error pops up.

[yxorp]

This issue still persists.

[HermanoCrespo]

I just had this error as well after modifying my script.

The script worked well until I added

like_count_feed = (randint(50, 55))
session.like_by_feed(amount=like_count_feed, randomize=True, interact=True)

Now, that I added the like_by_feed functionality I get this error:

[converge]

bad fix:
comment log_followers_num() call at instapy/instapy.py
good fix:
graphql call

[HermanoCrespo]

Thank you.

I only understand the "bad fix", so I will start there.

[HermanoCrespo]

I tried the 'bad fix' without success. The script exited randomly (twice) after modifying line 260 of instapy.py

#log_follower_num(self.browser, self.username, self.logfolder)

[converge]

@HermanoCrespo what´s the error output ?

bad fix:
comment log_followers_num() call at instapy/instapy.py
good fix:
graphql call

@converge hello.

I've tried the bad solution, but the result is that the script is running and telling me "1 Image Liked", but in reality, there isn't any like on the image.... it's just a false log.

I'm using the same configurations and scripts on 5 accounts, and only 1 account is not working anymore.... it's like the pages, that this particular account is navigating trough, are different from the others.... like it's using a different version of Instagram pages, so the script isn't locating correctly the objects.

How can I use the Graphql solution?

thank you very much.

also, maaaaaaybe, just maaaaybe it might be worth notice the link that the script was trying to read:
