See my comment on this PR: https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy/pull/47 for a potential workaround/fix.

Let me know if this change helps out.

@antonrifco Could you pull and try again, please?
Sorry for the problem, I should've fixed it now

[antonrifco]

hi @timgrossmann , I just pulled the latest code, and tried to rerun the code.
It still got the same error, but now on different line

I got the similar error on the new version, but it seems working fine with the older version.

I got the same error with using smart hashtags. Have pulled the latest versions.

Can someone please try to fix this?

[RoyBkker]

Update:
Still have the error.. Running with smart hashtags and headless browser = true.. Really don't know how this is possible.

In my case it was my own fault.. When I ran it with headLess Browser =False, i resized the browser a couple of times.. So that's why selenium couldn't find the buttons etc..
I ran it now a couple of times without touching or resizing the browser and with headLessBrowser = True, and no failures anymore.
