Same
Login A/B test detected! Trying another string...

mario1105 · 2019-08-16T10:55:15Z

I've fixed it logging in manually by using 'headless_browser=False' and adding a delay right after the 'print("Cookie file not found, creating cookie...")' in the login_util.py
So you can add sleep(60)and then while sleeping you can login manually and leave the script running.

But then I have another error while trying to like by locations or hashtags...

posittron · 2019-08-16T11:23:49Z

I was getting this, you have to turn off two factor authentication or any security that sends a text code to your phone. I turned it off and it works now. Just idk why firefox is so slow in loading users

Dude can you help me with this. I've updated to 0.6.2 from dev branch but the loading of likers of pictures is painfully slow. If you want to reproduce the issue ,its easy just use the follow_likers option from the documentation and you'll see that as the no. of users loaded increases it gets slower and slower. I think its a quick fix and its driving me crazy

Tr1pke · 2019-08-17T18:28:54Z

running 0.6.2 now , not much of a difference it doesn't s shouw the Login A/B etc anymore.

it just kills the session now.

I got my Instapy script running as usual after updating and logging in using the two step verification process. You might need to set headless_browser = False on your script in order to enter the verification code IG sends you (adding a page delay on the settings also helps):

session = InstaPy(username="ig_user",
password="ig_password",
headless_browser=False,
page_delay=25
)
Hope that helps

Mr-HaleYa · 2019-08-18T01:08:44Z

To anybody still having this issue on 6.1
Its caused by a typo in the file xpath_compile.py

Line 159 "login_elem_no_such_exception": "//a[text()='Log``` In']",

It looks like this ^^^

It needs to look like this

Line 159 "login_elem_no_such_exception": "//button[text()='Log In']",

It will still throw the statement Login A/B test detected! Trying another string... but then it should login...

It most likely will ask for a security code that will be sent to your email, just enter that and you should be all set!

Do you know where the file xpath_compile.py is stored? I cannot seem to find it in my installation.

Mr-HaleYa · 2019-08-18T18:21:49Z

What OS are you using?

Flaunkerton2395 · 2019-08-18T18:22:41Z

I'm currently on Mojave 10.14.5

Mr-HaleYa · 2019-08-18T18:58:55Z

Ummm I've never tried it on Mac...
On Linux its under /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/instapy
On Windows its under E:\Users\(yourprofile)\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Lib\site-packages\instapy

Try to find python and then find site-packages and it should be under the folder called Instapy

Flaunkerton2395 · 2019-08-18T21:32:36Z

I strangely don't even have that file on my Mac, the one mention of 'login_elem_no_such_exception' is in my login.util file:

try:
login_elem = browser.find_element_by_xpath(
read_xpath(login_user.name, "login_elem"))
except NoSuchElementException:
print("Login A/B test detected! Trying another string...")
try:
login_elem = browser.find_element_by_xpath(
read_xpath(login_user.name, "login_elem_no_such_exception")
)
except NoSuchElementException:
return False

Mr-HaleYa · 2019-08-18T21:56:42Z

@Flaunkerton2395 No that's where the error is thrown from but the reason it is thrown is because of a typo in another file

Mr-HaleYa · 2019-08-18T21:58:19Z

For instapy to function you have to have the file xpath_compile.py.
