Instapy: Failed to load desired amount of users

[Marow]

I get this:

INFO [2018-06-15 10:03:01] [************]  Failed to load desired amount of users
INFO [2018-06-15 10:03:01] [************]  Simulated follow : 1

    raise ValueError, "empty range for randrange() (%d,%d, %d)" % (istart, istop, width)
ValueError: empty range for randrange() (0,0, 0)

But why?
I only use that:

session.follow_user_followers(accs, amount=20, randomize=True, sleep_delay=20)

Using that on ubuntu server. Newest Version. Downloaded instapy before 2 days....

Is that cause the user has to much followers or something?

[Marow]

Okay, very crazy... if i choose another account than i want, than its working...
wtf... after some hours, other is also not working

@Marow
That error is solved, get the latest files. It will not crash again.

But if you get

Failed to load desired amount of users

continiously on accaunt with followers more than the amount you have requested, then there is a problem.

I am getting this one as well @uluQulu it is almost always "Failed to get the desired amount of users" and it is doing only 12/12. Sometimes it does more, but...

Joining the club of Those Failed to load desired amount of users...

Does anyone know if there is maybe a way to slow down a scrolling process with sleep delay, not to get “scroll banned” ?

[Tachenz]

It is really random. I just restarted bot 6 times within 5 minutes. And for the same user it was:
3 times - Failed to load desired amount of users, starting 1/12
1 time - Failed to load - but 1/150
And 2 times - 1/150 (so requested 150 users loaded with no problem).

So if it is due to Insta protection, it definitely does not last. Meaning, maybe it would be possible just “try again” if failed, or at least sleep for 10 seconds and try again and then move on to interact with whoever got loaded?

Summoning @uluQulu magic :))

I still get that annoying "grabbed 0 users to interact" with the latest build...
