Instapy: bot doesn't comment : "UnboundLocalError: local variable 'commenting_approved' referenced before assignment"

[zentamarina]

Expected Behavior

comment on post when activity is like_by_tags

Current Behavior

bot likes photo but exits with the following error when trying to comment:

File "/Users/InstaPy-master/instapy/comment_util.py", line 411, in process_comments
if not commenting_approved:
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'commenting_approved' referenced before assignment

InstaPy configuration

session = InstaPy(username=insta_username,
password=insta_password,
headless_browser=False)

with smart_run(session)
session.set_do_follow(True, percentage=100)
session.set_do_comment(True, percentage=100)
session.set_comments(['Nice!','Cool!']
session.set_do_like(enabled=True, percentage=100)
session.set_user_interact(amount=3, randomize=True, percentage=100)

session.like_by_tags(["sunset"], amount=10,interact=True)

I was having the same issue. I downgraded Instapy to 0.6.8 now its working..

I have the same issue. It was working great until I upgraded and now it crashes anytime I try to use comments. Works perfect without the comment scripts. I have tried all the other community comment scripts and nothing works.

I solved the issue by downgrading as well. Just type this into cmd, pip install instapy==0.6.8 and make sure none of the comments have @{}. Having @{} is causing it to crash for some reason. It wasn't the case before.

try to add:
session.set_delimit_commenting(enabled=True, max_comments=10000, min_comments=0)

it shouldn't affect your flow but will be a workaround

Line 431-433 of comment_util.py should go one tab to the right because they belong to the delimit_commenting option.

Worked for me, thanks!

Downgrading to 0.6.8 version helped me !!
