Instapy: Unfollow issue

[michaelBielang]

Hi,

since my instapy had the last few weeks some real big issues like it was in a deadlock where instapy tried over and over again to unfollow the same people because their profiles, it was said, were no longer available.

That's why I just deleted my "i_am_user" folder in logs folder.

After that I wanted to just unfollow everyone with the commands below. But as you can see below, now nothing works at all :-(

Any idea how to fix?

Expected Behavior

Unfollow all I am following

Current Behavior

INFO [2018-07-19 19:34:19] [i_am_user]  Session started!
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

it is happening something similar to me

INFO [2018-07-19 13:53:04] [igaccount] Unfollowing the users you are following
ERROR [2018-07-19 13:53:09] [igaccount] Sorry, an error occured: 'bool' object is not subscriptable

@cesarcm96 same here, changed both files unfollow util and my custom py and same like cesar quote

Actually you can open up Instagram's web version and noticed that its HTML DOM has changed which cause Instapy's code can't find the element.

To fix this simply go to unfollow_util.py at line 631 ~ 639

if channel == "Follow":
        # get follow buttons. This approach will find the follow buttons and
        # ignore the Unfollow/Requested buttons.
        buttons = dialog.find_elements_by_xpath(
            "//div/div/button[text()='Follow']") -> **remove the /span**

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

@idpelago I already did that, that solve the problem of “Failed to load desired amount of users” but the error “bool object is not suscriptable” is still ocurring

[alezhke]

@idpelago its bool failure means somewhere mistake at the code...

This "FIX: updated xpath in unfollow util #2463" doesn't work for me. Have tested it.

Same problem here. Last update still showing :

Sorry, an error occured: 'bool' object is not subscriptable"

when try to unfollow.

I appreciate your help to solve this issue.
