Instapy: ChromeDriver Status code was: 127

[lennardboehnke]

Expected Behavior

I wanted to run python3 quickstart.py on an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server. I'm using the nogui=True setting. I've tried re-cloning the repository, placing the chromedriver binary in the folder again, etc (basically everything else I've found on the topic) but I still get the following error:

Current Behavior

Possible Solution (optional)

InstaPy configuration

from instapy import InstaPy

insta_username = 'myuser'
insta_password = 'mypass'

try:
session = InstaPy(username=insta_username, password=insta_password, nogui=True)
session.login()

session.set_upper_follower_count(limit=2500)
session.set_do_comment(True, percentage=10)
session.set_comments(['aMEIzing!', 'So much fun!!', 'Nicey!'])
session.set_dont_include(['friend1', 'friend2', 'friend3'])
session.set_dont_like(['pizza', 'girl'])

session.like_by_tags(['natgeo'], amount=1)

finally:
session.end()

It might be an issue with the version of chromedriver you are using. Did you try a fresh install of instapy with all its dependencies?

Add this issue, installing chromium and using latest chrome driver fixed it for me

apt-get install chromium-browser

[lennardboehnke]

Ha, thanks man! That fixed it for me!

[smsaurabhv]

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Service chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 127

@c20xh2 Fixed for me too.
Thanks!

I have the exact same issue, but both my chromium and chromedriver are on the latest version.

If you got issues on downloading chromium-browser from apt,
Install google-chrome-stable, worked for me!

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb; apt-get -fy install

@c20xh2 thanks mang
