Instapy: New confirmation msg show when unfollow!

[sionking]

I forgot to capture but this fails the unfollow.
not always shown!

[CharlesCCC]

Can you please provide a screen-shot what is looks like ?

[sionking]

Pop-up window, we need to catch it when failing to unfollow.

[sionking]

[sionking]

I have it stopped (locky me getting telegram msg when unfollow not working!)

[sionking]

/html/body/div[3]/div/div/div/div[3]/button[1]

[sionking]

the unfollow confirmation

[CharlesCCC]

uhh, good catch, we will need add this to the part of unfollow function.

[sionking]

<button class="aOOlW -Cab_  " tabindex="0">Unfollow</button>

[sionking]

Can someone give me proper xpath to use ? kind of button with text eq to Unfollow?
I am bad at this :(

[jeremycjang]

@sionking This is based off of the few mins/maybe one hour I read about xpath after seeing this PR lol

(//button[contains(@class ,'aOOlW -Cab_')])[1]

?

I noticed your original was an absolute path; I opted to try a relative path.

Used a few assumptions here:

1. There is only one button on the page with the class attribute value set to aOOlW -Cab_ and as such it's the "first" button on the page with that value (because you wrote button[1] in your original)

2. I used the xpath contains() function because I wasn't sure if the spaces in the tag you presented are part of the actual class or if they're a typo

I'm testing it right now and will let you know as soon as I see a success or failure!

Cheers 🍻

Update: Followed pool sample size wasn't large enough to trigger the confirmation box 😅 will have to continue testing to confirm results

[jeremycjang]

Update: My xpath didn't work. Trying the more general //*[contains(text(), 'Unfollow')] using the pattern of pre-existing code tomorrow.

Hi, this xpath works. Just make sure you put sleeps above and below so it gives the dialog box enough time to load.

@sionking

unfollow_button = browser.find_element_by_xpath(
                    "//*[contains(@class, '-Cab_')]")
unfollow_button.click()

[jeremycjang]

@dgursh can you clarify the sleep amounts you’ve used to make this code work with the dialog box load time? Currently testing this setup after sleep(2) in the first sleep proved to not be enough:

try:
logger.info('we might have gotten a confirmation request')
 sleep(5)
unfollow_button = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//*[contains(@class, '-Cab_')]")
 sleep(2)
 unfollow_button.click()

[dgursh]

Here is my code, I've placed it in the section where you unfollow each user from their own account page, since that's where I've seen the confirm box appear. I am using a sleep(2) after the follow button is clicked, and then again once I confirm the follow button text still says "following" (meaning the dialog box has appeared. Then I search for the unfollow button and then click unfollow.

Hope this helps

               browser.get('https://www.instagram.com/{}'.format(person))
                sleep(2)
                follow_button = browser.find_element_by_xpath(
                    "//*[contains(text(), 'Follow')]")

                if follow_button.text == 'Following':
                    unfollowNum += 1
                    click_element(browser, follow_button) # follow_button.click()
                    sleep(2)
                    # If diaglog pops up confirm
                    if follow_button.text == 'Following':
                        sleep(2)
                        unfollow_button = browser.find_element_by_xpath(
                    "//*[contains(@class, '-Cab_')]")
                        unfollow_button.click()
                    logger.info('--> Ongoing Unfollow ' + str(unfollowNum) +
                          ', now unfollowing: {}'
                          .format(person.encode('utf-8')))
                    sleep(15)
                    if hasSlept:
                        hasSlept = False

Hello, i got a new clone master, but Its not working , I have the same problem, is it work for yor?

[jeremycjang]

I confirmed @dgursh 's code worked; thank you!

[aleeepp]

@jeremycjang @dgursh , can you please pass the unfollow_util.py ??, I try but Its not working for me.

[jeremycjang]

@sionking @timgrossmann Should we add this to the master to check for confirmation boxes? I think it'll have to be modified now to fit with the most recent unfollow_util.py code
