Instapy: Failed to load desired amount of users

[kushpvo]

Expected Behavior

Should unfollow users

Current Behavior

Failed to load desired amount of users

How do i solve this error?

Possible Solution (optional)

InstaPy configuration

session.unfollow_users(amount=25, allFollowing=True, style="FIFO", unfollow_after=172800, sleep_delay=180)

it seems like Instagram has been changing the HTML DOM

to fix this, go to unfollow_util.py and remove "/span" from line 658 & 662
example below:

        if channel == "Follow":
            buttons = dialog.find_elements_by_xpath(
                "//div/div/span/button[text()='Follow']") **### -> remove /span**

        elif channel == "Unfollow":
            buttons = dialog.find_elements_by_xpath(
                "//div/div/span/button[text()='Following']") **### -> remove /span**

@idpelago I have the same issue when using follow_likers, after trying to get likers from a photo it returns 0 users. Do you know if this fix will work as well? Thanks in advance

This worked for me as well, thanks for sharing @idpelago !

@idpelago Was the code changed in the latest pull? Because the code on line 658 & 662 is different for me.

Removed /span but still getting the same error.

I am also receiving the same error as mentioned above.

[idpelago]

well actually if you pull the latest updates, everything should work

Still not working for me. Pretty sure it's related to the 12-user max follows mentioned in other issues.

@bgunsberger
I have found that you can get around that 12 user issue by simply repeating their name in your list. it's 12 per entry, but this seems to be a useable (if awkward) workaround.
