Instapy: Instagram updated their web page again? (following another users followers

[harrycha]

Expected Behavior

The code is meant to work and return the amount of users it follows after finding a profile I pick.

Current Behavior

Finds the profile but not the follow element

Compiler:
session = InstaPy(username='User', password='pass')
session.login()
session.follow_user_followers(['michealscott'], amount=500, randomize=False, sleep_delay=1200)
session.end()

Error:
ile "C:\Usersenvyx360\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remoteerrorhandler.py", line 237, in check_response
raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//div[text()='Followers' or text()='Following']/following-sibling::div"}

Possible Solution (optional)

Where ever the element is stored in instapy and replacing it with the new Instagram elements

My chromedriver is up to date, I've went into other util files and replaced with the current code like in issue #1610

InstaPy configuration

I believe it's because you have to update the chrome driver. Sure you have the last one and you pulled the latest master? https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/

Make sure you've pulled the latest from master: git pull and post the stacktrace again

I have the same issue. I use the docker image built from all-in-one docker file. I used the chromedriver 2.38, and the head of master.

Found my problem. I had some target users have 0 following, or bad user name, or private access. This make the robot unable to handle the page correctly.

Same error but using Instapy on Raspberry Pi 3 using firefox
I figure out that this problem is related to something on the profile, changed to another and the script works
Tried to change the language setting self.switch_language to False in instapy.py but with no success
