Error running instapy first time

[twilsens]

Hi all,

Installed instapy successfully, I think 😜

Made a simple quickstart.py which likes my own feed but when I run it for the first time I get the following error:

I also attached my quickstart.py

pi@raspberrypi:~/InstaPy $ python3 quickstart.py

Solution from @Mr-HaleYa worked for me also!!

[marcosgb]

Which one ??

[Mr-HaleYa]

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!
