Instapy: Unfollowing started to fail

[M4RC0Sx]

I have had the bot working a few days and it went very well but today, without editing the code, the unfollow instructions started to faik giving an error like in this issue:
https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy/issues/2754

Yes... this issue is back! My 3 are like this! It seems to me that its only occurring for session.follow_user_followers

Error:
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//div[text()='Followers' or text()='Following']/../../following-sibling::div"}

Edit: Before showing the exception above ...

INFO [2018-11-29 22:48:49] [my_login]  Starting to follow user `Followers`..
INFO:my_login:Starting to follow user `Followers`..

I was working on this and I dont think I'll find some free time tomorrow to finish it, can anyone help ?

https://github.com/converge/InstaPy/commit/9957f214e525ab61f16cbbb0c5566fa640797948

I think it just needs to scroll the unfollow page now.

I think it just needs to scroll the unfollow page now.

ok, Jp... I put:
dialog_address = "//div[3]/div/div/div[2]" #<--- maybe
and uncomment
logger.info("\n{}".format(upper_char * ceil(output_len/len(upper_char))))

Its working, man! Excellent!

In unfollow_util.py

Temporary replace

dialog = browser.find_element_by_xpath(
        "//div[text()='Followers' or text()='Following']/../../following-sibling::div")

with

dialog = browser.find_element_by_xpath(
        "//div[contains(@class,'isgrP')]")

IT WORKS!
Use this to temporary fix and get your algorithm running. Cause it is working for me.

[sergiosre]

@converge for me it doesn't work , i dont know if i am writing well the code, but i followed your steps and i had the same error.

[ardagoktas]

@converge dialog_address = "//button[text()='Followers' or text()='Following']"
dialog_address = "//div[3]/div/div/div[2]" this worked for me mate thank you.

[M4RC0Sx]

@converge I think it also gives error when following by user, so the replacement should need to be done in more than one InstaPy file, if I'm not wrong.
