Instapy: zipfile.BadZipFile: File is not a zip file

[Bastochee]

Hello everyone,

I'm on Windows.
InstaPy was working perfectly until I got the "ensure chromedriver is installed" error.
Downgrading chromedriver to a version between 71 and 75 wasn't fixing the issue.

I updated InstaPy, and pip. Now I have the following error :

File ".\simple_but_effective.py", line 18, in

raise BadZipFile("File is not a zip file")
zipfile.BadZipFile: File is not a zip file

Anyone know what can be the issue ?

Got the same issue rigth now, litteraly been going from one error to another. There has to come some improvement on the installing process for sure..

This isssue came after i put my geckodriver in the InstaPy folder.

Hope someone is able to fix this or atleast tell me how to fix it.

Go into your user folder (ex. C:UsersBobInstaPy\assets and remove the geckodriver zip and folder. Then try your script again.

I get the same issue, it works fine in Colabs to call for remote bzip data to be downloaded and placed into a dataloader code block 1), but when using the exact same line of code in an ipython / jupyter notebook (code block 2) on the local machine it returns the above error (full code to replicate error shown):

Code block 1 in colabs (here) -- WORKS

Inputs:

SEED = 1234

torch.manual_seed(SEED)
torch.backends.cudnn.deterministic = True

TEXT = data.Field(tokenize = 'spacy')
LABEL = data.LabelField()

train_data, test_data = datasets.TREC.splits(TEXT, LABEL, fine_grained=False)

train_data, valid_data = train_data.split(random_state = random.seed(SEED))

MAX_VOCAB_SIZE = 25_000

TEXT.build_vocab(train_data, 
                 max_size = MAX_VOCAB_SIZE,
