Same error here, just one accout having these trouble, others are ok

[osvald0]

Update xpath to "//button[text()='Log in']" in login_util.py line 239.

[d3rf]

Thats works, I gonna try others now...

[fgisslen]

@osvald0 thanks mate!

[Peppuz]

I made a real quick PR, thank you @osvald0.

In my case, I changed the .click() to .send_keys(Keys.ENTER) and I was able to login.
File: login_util.py
Line: 239

# login_button = browser.find_element_by_xpath(
#     "//form/span/button[text()='Log in']")

# (ActionChains(browser)
#     .move_to_element(login_elem)
#     .click()
#     .perform())

(ActionChains(browser)
    .move_to_element(input_password[0])
    .click()
    .send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
    .perform())

You are no longer looking for the Log in button text that triggers the error.
Instead you focus the password box and press enter, like must human would do.
Voila, you are login.

[Peppuz]

Sounds human ahaha, nice intuition!

Update xpath to "//button[text()='Log in']" in login_util.py line 239.

In my file there are 181 lines.

It fills the username + pass and says "Cookie file not found, creating cookie...", after a while stops.

I changed back to old account and worked.

[confusedgorkha]

{"method":"xpath","selector":"//form/span/button[text()='Log in']"}
still not working. It fills the username in one signup session and password in another login session
kindly suggest me.

Change
login_button = browser.find_element_by_xpath( "//form/span/button[text()='Log in']")

to
login_button = browser.find_element_by_xpath( "//*[contains(text(), 'Log in')]")

in login_util.py

[ajankuv]

Change
login_button = browser.find_element_by_xpath( "//form/span/button[text()='Log in']")

to
login_button = browser.find_element_by_xpath( "//*[contains(text(), 'Log in')]")

in login_util.py

does not work

This works, but you also need to add from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys to the beginning of the file.
