Instapy: set_upper_follower_count skipping users despite being below limit

[Cineda]

Expected Behavior

InstaPy to skip interaction if the user I am interacting with has more than 2000 followers.

Current Behavior

It skips every interaction despite users having less than 2000 followers.
For example, @_llccr has only 1,087 followers and 469 following, which is way below the 2000 followers limit I have set, but InstaPy still skips her interaction.

Note: I am using 'Interact with someone else's followers' feature.

Possible Solution (optional)

Possibly some sort of logic error when comparing the user's followers count with the limit?

InstaPy configuration

session.set_user_interact(amount=3, randomize=True, percentage=100, media='Photo')
session.set_do_follow(enabled=True, percentage=100)
session.set_do_like(enabled=True, percentage=100)
session.set_comments(['Awesome', 'Nice!'])
session.set_do_comment(enabled=True, percentage=20)
session.interact_user_followers(['zjiasi'], amount=100, randomize=True)
session.set_upper_follower_count(limit = 2000)

Note: I tried removing the 'session.set_upper_follower_count(limit = 2000)' from my config but somehow InstaPy is still skipping users with exceed followers error.

INFO - ---> User sg.eyecandies exceeds followers limit
INFO - Username [12/100]
INFO - --> b'shembled_eggs'
INFO - ---> User shembled_eggs exceeds followers limit
INFO - Username [13/100]

After further tests with quickstart.py, it seems like this problem only occur when I try to 'Interact with someone else's followers'. InstaPy works perfectly fine for liking/following by geolocation or tag.

[Cineda]

Solved it.
For some reason session.set_upper_follower_count(limit = 2000) needs to be set before the interaction command. I guess that makes sense.

@Cineda great to hear that!

That's why show your config file is important, so we can understand better what's going on.

I've the same behaviour without any limit set:

session = InstaPy(username=insta_username, password=insta_password, use_firefox=True, nogui=True)
session.login()
session.set_user_interact(amount=8, randomize=True, percentage=50, media='Photo')
session.set_do_like(enabled=True, percentage=50)
session.interact_user_followers(['danielkordan', 'kai.boet'], amount=10, randomize=True)

Any ideas?

@TR0X Don't know if you figured it out, but I found a bodge to fix it. I believe the way the interact code is written, an upper follower count limit does have to be defined, so to workaround it you could set an upper count with a high follower number that probably no user has and it will work perfectly :)
