Instapy: AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'lower'

[fgisslen]

I get this error:
Anyone know what's wrong?

"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'lower'"

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hey @fgisslen

It is a bug in util.py:

1. Add a new line:

profile_bio = getUserData("graphql.user.biography", browser)
profile_bio = [pb.lower() for pb in profile_bio]   # ADD THIS NEW LINE

1. Change this line:

if bio_keyword.lower() in profile_bio.lower():

becomes

if bio_keyword.lower() in profile_bio:

Chill 😎

@uluQulu actually I still get after editing:

Thanks all for revising this, tested after editing. Exiting script / session with the following traceback log

@fgisslen
Revert back previous changes, I just checked, graphql returns a string rather than list.
So, the problem is in user entry,
How do you provide skip_bio_keyword value in quickstart script?
Make sure it has only 1 level of list; In other words, it is a list having strings only.

[fgisslen]

@uluQulu I don't use skip_bio_keyword

[uluQulu]

Can you tell which exact version of InstaPy you are using or attach util.py and instapy.py files.
Also attach your qucikstart script (personal data removed).

[uluQulu]

ok ok no need to it,
it is a mechanical bug;

[fgisslen]

@uluQulu perfect!
How do we solve it? :)

[uluQulu]

It is passed instead of the dont_skip_business_categories place which is prob a list of list that makes the issue.

So, move down the formal argument into its correct order.

Have fun ☕
