Can't unfollow more than 10 people

[alexauvray]

The bot goes to sleep after 10 people like it's supposed to. But then it stops. Any idea ?

sleeping for about 10min
--> Total people unfollowed : 10

@alexsonnay are you using this method ? session.unfollow_users(amount=10, onlyInstapyFollowed = True, onlyInstapyMethod = 'FIFO' ) amount is the number of profile you will unfollow

[alexauvray]

Yes. I tried with session.unfollow_users(amount=50)

@alexsonnay how is all your login/actions/options ?

[alexauvray]

Everything is fine on this matter :). It just ends the session quicker than it's supposed to

[2017-10-15 12:21:47] --> Total people unfollowed : 10
[2017-10-15 12:21:47] 
[2017-10-15 12:21:47] Session ended

I just have a session.set_dont_include and a session.unfollow_users in the options.

I have the same problems except the script unfollows 19 people and then stops?

@alexsonnay @jasetom it will be helpful if you can provide detailed information about it, so we can reproduce it.

• what exatcly setup/options/actions are you using and how is it setup ?
• what is the stacktrace/error log

[jasetom]

I'm only using the unfollow method. My whole script contains only these lines:

from instapy import InstaPy

insta_username = 'username'
insta_password = 'pass'

session = InstaPy(username=insta_username, password=insta_password)
session.login()
session.unfollow_users(amount=1000)
session.end()

Terminal prints out this: (I've changed the names of ig accounts to x for privacy)

Yep same for me now it's 19. I have found some kind of a solution : I'm using a 'while true' with a 'sleep' function in the initial command in the terminal to repeat the python script every 10 minutes ;)

can someone test the bug fix before merging ? #796

[jasecoop]

I'm getting the same problem here...

("--> Total unfollowNum reached it's amount given ", 10) --> Total people unfollowed : 10

Session ended

Any idea of the issue?

[converge]

@jasecoop I wrote a bug fix #796 for it some days ago, is your repository updated ?
