Same problem here

Same problem, before it i was change xpath_compile because an invalid image element. Actually Instagram added one more html element 'span' after the last 'div'. So i change xpath_compile.py like this : https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy/issues/5650#issuecomment-665144354

It works in 3 first image, but after that it return :

selenium.common.exceptions.ElementClickInterceptedException: Message: Element <span class=""> is not clickable at point (675,558) because another element <div class="q02Nz _0TPg"> obscures it

I'm having the same problem. It works for a while (about 16 likes) and It fails. I restart ans same issue again and again. Any idea why?

[gixxerfrank]

I updated the viewport settings in the browser.py and it seems to be working fine now.

I updated the viewport settings in the browser.py and it seems to be working fine now.

Could you post how and where did you change?

[gixxerfrank]

I updated line 139 in browser.py to: browser.set_window_size(375, 896)

InstaPy configuration

What is your configuration for session.follow_likers()?

session.follow_likers(
            ['nike' ,
            'adidasoriginals'
            ],
            photos_grab_amount = 10,
            follow_likers_per_photo = 3,
            randomize=True,
            sleep_delay=600,
            interact=False)

After clicked the Liked xpath a new window should be displayed,
in this case (using InstaPy 0.6.11 and macOS with geckodriver 0.27)
the new page is actually loaded but greyed out, so next info cannot
be extracted. I tried to load the likers by hand but same problem
for loading the page (check screenshot). I believe the issue comes
from geckodriver and changes from Instagram.

Enabled debug for gecko driver and found that page was not loaded
