Instapy: Chrome Driver issue on Chrome76 & Instapy 6.0.1

Created on 18 Aug 2019  路  5Comments  路  Source: timgrossmann/InstaPy


Expected Behavior

Instapy should run with specified config

Current Behavior

On Instapy 0.6.1 and Chrome 76 the following error is thrown Message: Unable to find a matching set of capabilities or `

On Instapy < 0.6.0 and Chrome 76 the following error is thrown Chrome version must be between 71 and 75

Possible Solution (optional)

I found a workaround by replacing the matching chrome driver from https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads in your instapy_chromedriver directory (for pip) which in my case was C:\Users\jacka\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Lib\site-packages\instapy_chromedriver, being sure to overwrite the old one with the same name.

There is probably a much more elegant solution but im still learning Instapy config :)

InstaPy configuration

  • Chrome 76.0.3809.10
  • Instapy 0.6.1 (same on 0.6.0)
  • installed with pip
wontfix

Ummm, no there's not really a more "elegant" way of doing so. What you did is the only way as of right now.

I am getting this same problem but on Mac, once i open the chromedriver it just opens it in terminal and i still cant run the script.

Also does anyone know if I use this for a business is it breaking any instagram guidlines?

Fantastic, worked for me. Thank you @jackaryas

If this problem still occurs, please open a new issue

this is working for me!
To be specific, matching chromedriver means: go to your chrome -> about google chrome-> version.
then go to https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads to find that chromedriver that matches the version.
replace it to the place such as /Users/<yourusername>/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/instapy_chromedriver/
