Update the code to older stable chromedriver version like 104

[MiChaelinzo]

Can you update the code to work in 114 Stable-Chromedriver or older version in 104 currently it only works in 112, I cannot find any resources/link where I can update into 112. I'm using Linux version 5.16.0-kali7-amd64 (devel@kali.org) (gcc-11 (Debian 11.2.0-19) 11.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.38) #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 5.16.18-1kali1 (2022-04-01). Also can you update to make it work in Chronium too for raspberry pi?

Hi,

To solve the problem in init.py, you can apply this temporary solution.

I don't know how would this solve my problem unable to use the software because it still runs in 112, also the code you gave me have several errors:

michael@home:~/ㄒㄖㄖㄥ丂/FollowerBot$ sudo python3 get_instagram_followers.py

You should choose the correct chromedriver in this link: https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads Then show this file in your code.

I did that #80

I fix the indentation got the code working but I got this error running it:

Getting followers... Please do not terminate the program.

@MiChaelinzo hi,

I've just committed new changes to the repository. Could you use the latest code, please?

[MiChaelinzo]

same issue btw I got google-chrome --version 104 and chromedriver --version 112.0.5615.28

[asimptot]

Your chromedriver.exe version and your browser should have the same version. Can you adjust your chromedriver.exe according to your browser?

[MiChaelinzo]

I don't know how to do that etc. latest Google-chrome is 114 I cannot find 112 the latest I got for old browser is 104 I forgot 3rd party link I downloaded it from.

[asimptot]

https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads

Please use this link to download correct file according to your browser version. It seems you use incompatible file.

[MiChaelinzo]

What should I choose [ChromeDriver 112.0.5615.28] or [ChromeDriver 112.0.5615.49]

[asimptot]

Try what you want. I think the control is in the first digit that is 112.

[MiChaelinzo]

Btw I already have [ChromeDriver 112.0.5615.28] but where can we download the browser for 112?

[asimptot]

I use in the attached version. You can upgrade yours to them. Else, try another 112 version.

[MiChaelinzo]

I'll try to update my Google Chrome and get back to you! because I'm using Debian Kali Linux and it's very buggy currently even simple updates/upgrades mess up the system
