Unable to Login (Could not pass the login A/B test)

[philchow]

Hello,

I'm trying to use Instapy to do some automation works (follow, like, etc.), but every time when I run the quickstart python file, the terminal always shows the text "Could not pass the login A/B test." and "Login A/B test failed!", and then "session ended".

I found the issue #274 is same as mine, the solution is to edit xpath_compile.py file in the source code and then reinstall Instapy on the computer. However, I'm trying to run the bot on a ubuntu server, and I'm a beginner so I don't know how to install Instapy on a server after I changed the source code. "pip install instapy" apparently won't work, what command should I use to install a forked Instapy?

Check the console for the current path of installed InstaPy upon the login error.
The file I have to edit for example is on path:

~/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/instapy/xpath_compile.py

Just make the text changes there.

Hey @brunoaduarte ,

Thanks for telling me the path!

I successfully logged in after I edited the file.

However I encountered another problem, the error message is like this:

Failed to get followers count of 'b'...'' ~empty list

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'

I found that this problem was also asked in the issue #264 , but there's no answer.

Hi @brunoaduarte ,

Oh, even you can't solve this problem... then it must be very difficult to find a solution.
