Describe your Question/Issue:

First of all, thank you to all the contributors to this repo!

I was just testing out stuff by first liking my own timeline feed. But I'm only getting Nothing to like.. I've tried playing around with the filters in bot.py. But I'm still getting the same message.

Then I was digging further with the bot_like.py file by changing the line 207 output to

    self.logger.info("Liking timeline feed: !!!! ")

but it doesn't reflect in the logs when running the file. This is my first time working on a python project. I'm sorry if I'm missing out something here.

I've been also reading on post #701. But I'm not getting anything.

Thanks in advance !

Hey @wkitsin,

We did a quick check and this issue looks very darn similar to

• #1239 - [BUG] expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not list
• #1235 - [BUG] WARNING - ('Connection aborted.', RemoteDisconnected('Remote end closed connection without response'))
• #1230 - Media owner mention in caption

This could be a coincidence, but if any of these issues solves your problem then I did a good job 😄

If not, the maintainers will get to this issue shortly.

Cheers,
Your Friendly Neighborhood ProBot

This is typically related to different installation folders. I assume you installed instabot via pip and you have checkout/download the repo to some other place to use/edit the examples.

On a clean python file import instabot will import from the pip source (because that is typically the first occurrence in sys.path where an module instabot is found)

If you would change the line
sys.path.append(os.path.join(sys.path[0], "../"))
To something like
sys.path.insert(0,os.path.join(sys.path[0], "../"))
Than the bot from the location where you edit the examples will be used (because parent folder "../" is inserted at the first not the last place of the sys.path list)

thanks @fighterii !
