Hi @sakarimov , can you explain me a bit more the problem.

When does it fail? Which social network? Does the image never upload? Firefox and os version? Did you update your browser recently?

Thanks!

When does it fail? since friday 02 of October Which social network? Instagram Does the image never upload? yes, when the step goes to upload file it stucks and keep loading without uploading, then goes to caption typing step, whereas previously, after the "upload file" step, the file will be uploaded immediately and the program will go to the caption typing step image not uploaded but the typing goes on Firefox and os version? Firefox 81.0, Ubuntu 20.04 Did you update your browser recently? i dont think so, maybe not this is my last geckodriver.log

Thanks for your reply.

I know about this problem.

Which social network? Instagram Does the image never upload? yes, when the step goes to upload file it stucks and keep loading without uploading

And a message of the problem is here:

JavaScript error: https://business.facebook.com/creatorstudio/?reference=visit_from_seo, line 46: TypeError: 'get width' called on an object that does not implement interface HTMLImageElement.

That is from your log file, you can see a similar output in the console of your browser.

I will try to explain a bit the issue.

I added an extension that implements different strategies to hide selenium. I took the extension from Instapy

One of that strategies is the Broken Image test. This code overwrites some properties of the HTMLImageElement. When you upload an image, a new image object is created and that overwritten properties are executed before the upload finish and you get the error because the image object was not set properly.

A quick solution is to comment from Line 33 until Line 49.

I will be thinking how to solve it. Disable it, it's an option, for this project I think is not necessary. At the moment Facebook don't implement a test like that one.
