[zubus]

Did you try to delete the content of "logs" folder?

Guys, disable 2FA on your account. No Google Authentificator, no SMS notification. I installed InstaPy on a fresh new server today and my problem was 2FA via sms which was automaticaly turned on by instagram.

[Polkyanik]

@filipstrapinadotcz
I have everything disabled .. the only solution would be to delete the logs folder .. but immediately after the error repeats itself

@Polkyanik paste here your quickstart.py (hide username and password OFC) and also paste output form "pip list"

Hi,
I created a function to login as a palliative.

from instapy import InstaPy

def getSession(usr,pwd,hideBrowser):
    logged = False
    try:
        session = InstaPy(username=usr,
                        password=pwd,                      
                        headless_browser=hideBrowser,
                        multi_logs=True)
        session.login()
        logged = True
    except:
        if not logged:
            session.end()            
            getSession(usr,pwd,hideBrowser)
    return session

[dimekmaurer]

According to the returned command the script does not search for the "Log In" button. There are two cases when this can happen:
1) Log in automatically from the login screen and go to the Imstagram dashboard - You should log out while the bot is working after the "Timed..." message. and click "Log In" manually - the bot will immediately start filling in the login form

1. does not detect the button on the login page (without going to Instagrama dashboard) - click "Sign up with email or phone number" and wait for a second- bot will log in corectlly

It happens to me once in a couple of times. I don't know why. But I use the above mentioned method and it works.

After changing a little bit the tracing level in Main branch I discovered that page_title now is waiting for a different title. explicit_wait is working fine after fixing the string.
Verifying last changes in code before merge request.

Before:

ERROR [2020-10-04 22:08:27] [internet]  Timed out with failure while explicitly waiting until title contains 'Log In' string!

After:

[Polkyanik]

@elulcao
I have updated all the codes .. but I can't get over the error.
but I can't find page_title, where is it?
Do I have to change it to something else or add that explicit_wait?
tnx

[Polkyanik]

@elulcao
Fantastic !!
text right away!

thank you (Y)

[Polkyanik]

@elulcao
nothing to do;(
I updated the files in direct ...
keeping the browser open I see that it locks on the second cookie screen and cannot pass the second step on the browser to accept cookies .. after which it crashes
how can I understand which one it is the problem ?

@Polkyanik
Try removing the cookie.pkl file under your workspace.
Enable the geckodriver trace to check what was the last call to Instagram service.
Restart your insta.py
wait until the safe info screen...

Not sure why your browser crashes, some logs are needed to debug it

I tried in my box and logged successfully after created a new pkl.
