Instapy: Follow someone else followers broke

[maibaumpflanzer]

Seems like this one isnt working anymore:

session.follow_user_followers(['friend1', 'friend2', 'friend3'], amount=10, randomize=False)

It worked for 6 weeks but now the bot is shutting down instead of following someone elses followers. The bot is running when I delete this script

mines doing the same thing

That's because dialog_address = "//body/div[2]/div/div[2]" is now an incorrect xpath in unfollow_util.get_users_through_dialog.

[mando15]

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')]")

remember you must replace it in two places that have #find dialog otherwise it wont work

@mando15 good catch, can you please PR the change, it seems like quite some people is having this issue. thank you.

In my case the error was:

Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//body/div[2]/div/div[1]"}

And I had to change from:

dialog_address = "//body/div[2]/div/div[2]"

to:

dialog_address = "//div[contains(@class,'isgrP')]"

in unfollow_util.get_users_through_dialog

In my unfollow_util.py it's line 809 (pypi instapy 0.3.4). And it works now.

Go to unfollow_util.py on line 809 and change:

dialog_address = "//body/div[2]/div/div[2]"

to

dialog_address = "//body/div[3]/div/div[2]"

I just tested and it works perfectly for me

dialog_address = "//body/div[3]/div/div[2]"

Deamoroth, thanks! your solution works flawlessly for me.

[maibaumpflanzer]

Go to unfollow_util.py on line 809 and change:

@maibaumpflanzer @Hammer11 if you did the change, you might need manually clean up the python compiled cache file (*.pyc files). Also, please post your log, if you still having issue, it might something different.
