In xpath_compile.py

Adding a div before button worked for me!

Update it like following:

xpath["get_buttons_from_dialog"] = {
    "follow_button": "//div/button[text()='Follow']",
    "unfollow_button": "//div/button[text() = 'Following']",
}

@Viwarrior this has worked for me. Thank you.

Got the same issue - tried the fix and it doesnt work

[rexonat]

That's so weird - I've been using sublime and not switched!

Maybe there's some kind of formatting error on there. Going to try again when I get some time off - thanks for the heads up 🙂

Kind Regards,
Susanna

Not sure why but when I switched from Sublime Text to Notepad++I started to get the error.
Now switched back to edit the text in Sublime Text and it works again :)
