I am just a beginner for programming. Actually, I try to make an automatically comment on Instagram. However, if I run the code below via chrome/firefox. it will contain difference error
import time
import random
import re
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException, StaleElementReferenceException
from selenium.webdriver.support import ui
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
class Commenter:
def __init__(self, username, password):
self.username = username
self.password = password
self.driver = webdriver.Chrome()
"""closing browser"""
def closeBrowser(self):
self.driver.close()
"""login in to Instagram"""
def login(self):
driver = self.driver
driver.get("https://www.instagram.com/")
time.sleep(2)
login_button = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[@href='/accounts/login/?source=auth_switcher']")
login_button.click()
time.sleep(2)
user_name_elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@name='username']")
user_name_elem.clear()
user_name_elem.send_keys(self.username)
passworword_elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@name='password']")
passworword_elem.clear()
passworword_elem.send_keys(self.password)
passworword_elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
time.sleep(2)
"""write comment in text area using lambda function"""
def write_comment(self, comment_text):
try:
comment_button = lambda: self.driver.find_element_by_link_text('Comment')
comment_button().click()
except NoSuchElementException:
pass
##Add a comment…
try:
comment_box_elem = lambda: self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//textarea[@aria-label='留言⋯⋯']")
comment_box_elem().send_keys('')
comment_box_elem().clear()
for letter in comment_text:
comment_box_elem().send_keys(letter)
time.sleep((random.randint(1, 7) / 30))
return comment_box_elem
except StaleElementReferenceException and NoSuchElementException as e:
print(e)
return False
`com = Commenter(username='your login', password='your pw')
com.login()
time.sleep(3)
com.driver.get("https://www.instagram.com/p/ByhuUY3nmEJ/")
time.sleep(5)
com.write_comment("123123123123123dd")`
it is hoped that I can write a comment on the post via Firefox/ chrome.
When I use Firefox, it will occur "Element is not reachable by keyboard Instagram"
While I use Chrome, it will occur " selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable (Session info: chrome=75.0.3770.80) (Driver info: chromedriver=74.0.3729.6 (255758eccf3d244491b8a1317aa76e1ce10d57e9-refs/branch-heads/3729@{#29}),platform=Windows NT 6.1.7601 SP1 x86_64)"
It is highly appreciated that if you may give a solution to resolve my concern. I have searched the relevant questions, but I still did not get any idea to fix this. Thank you for your help.
