Instapy: Is anyone's updated Firefox setup actually working?

[Flaunkerton2395]

Expected Behavior

Work

Current Behavior

Not Working

Possible Solution (optional)

InstaPy configuration

InstaPy 0.6.1, Chromedriver and current FireFox version. I have seen a lot of posts referencing the 'Login A/B test detected! Trying another string...' error and I am curious to see if anyone's Firefox Instapy build is actually working.

Works here, but some functions are broken/not working correctly, like skip popular posts. So it has hardly any effect and following is also broken. But technically, it works.

[Mr-HaleYa]

I've got it working almost perfectly (for my use anyways) after some changes to the code!

[Flaunkerton2395]

@Mr-HaleYa What changes did you make??

[Mr-HaleYa]

From Issue : Login A/B test detected! Trying another string...

To anybody still having this issue on 6.1
Its caused by a typo in the file _xpath_compile.py_

Line 159 "login_elem_no_such_exception": "//a[text()='Log``` In']",

It looks like this ^^^

It needs to look like this

Line 159 "login_elem_no_such_exception": "//button[text()='Log In']",

It will still throw the statement _Login A/B test detected! Trying another string..._ but then it _should_ login...

It most likely will ask for a security code that will be sent to your email, just enter that and you should be all set!

Where can I find the file XPATH_COMPILE.PY?

Thanks!!

[clone2324]

~/InstaPy/instapy# then ls and you should see it

[twilsens]

Thanks!!

[Flaunkerton2395]

Do you know where this file is on Mac?

[clone2324]

Should be in the same sub directory. go to InstaPy then find the the "instapy" folder and it should be a file in there

[Flaunkerton2395]

Strangely I don't have that file anywhere in my Instapy folder or my machine at all...

[clone2324]

delete the files and then re-clone it lol

[Flaunkerton2395]

I just tried running 'pip3 install instapy -U' in Terminal but it still didn't show up lol is there another way?

[clone2324]

not too sure here, is it using firefox?
there should be that file in the sub directory because it tells python what buttons to click. Maybe it got put into another folder?

[Flaunkerton2395]

I'm on 0.6.1 and it's definitely trying to run Firefox. What's interesting is my login.util file does have this mention of 'login_elem_no_such_exception':

try:
    login_elem = browser.find_element_by_xpath(
        read_xpath(login_user.__name__, "login_elem"))
except NoSuchElementException:
    print("Login A/B test detected! Trying another string...")
    try:
        login_elem = browser.find_element_by_xpath(
            read_xpath(login_user.__name__, "login_elem_no_such_exception")
        )
    except NoSuchElementException:
        return False

[clone2324]

what happens if you try grabbing just that file and editing it? the xpath?

[Flaunkerton2395]

I can edit the file but that specific line 'login_elem_no_such_exception": "//a[text()='Log``` In']' is not anywhere in there sadly

[Mr-HaleYa]

@clone2324 He's in the wrong file and if you add that it won't work. He needs to be in the _xpath_compile.py_ file but is instead in the _login.util_ file. This is the only reference of the error because this is where it is thrown from. Its thrown from here because of a typo in the _xpath_compile.py_ file causing the _login.util_ file not to work properly and throw an error.

[Flaunkerton2395]

I don't even have that file in my installation which is strange

[Mr-HaleYa]

@Flaunkerton2395 Can you message me on discord?

[Mr-HaleYa]

It should be under something like
(yourusername)\Lib\Python3.7\site-packages\Instapy

[jonap339]

Cool @Mr-HaleYa ! I edited the code as you indicated. It effectively shows the detected A / B message, but continues without problems. Thank you

PD: In case someone helps, the xpath on my pc is in: C:Users\Usuario\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Lib\site-packages\instapy

"""
This template is written by @the-unknown

What does this quickstart script aim to do?

• This is my template which includes the new QS system.
  It includes a randomizer for my hashtags... with every run, it selects 10
  random hashtags from the list.

NOTES:

• I am using the bot headless on my vServer and proxy into a Raspberry PI I
  have at home, to always use my home IP to connect to Instagram.
  In my comments, I always ask for feedback, use more than 4 words and
  always have emojis.
  My comments work very well, as I get a lot of feedback to my posts and
  profile visits since I use this tactic.

As I target mainly active accounts, I use two unfollow methods.
The first will unfollow everyone who did not follow back within 12h.
The second one will unfollow the followers within 24h.
