Instapy: Unable to start script, Cookie file not found, creating cookie

[supmag]

I have tried multiple thing to try and fix this error I am unable to load the script.

I have tried simple parameters to try and isolate the issue but to no luck I get the same error followed by a series of other multiple errors and the script ends.
Here is my log:

Cookie file not found, creating cookie...

Finally found a simple solution for this problem...

in deleted in login_util.py:

_try:
for cookie in pickle.load(
open("{0}{1}_cookie.pkl".format(logfolder, username), "rb")
):
browser.add_cookie(cookie)
cookie_loaded = True
except (WebDriverException, OSError, IOError):
print("Cookie file not found, creating cookie...")
reload_webpage(browser)_

and i replaced it with:

_browser.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[2]/div/div/div/div[2]/button[1]').click()_
