Startup crash due to incompatibility with Java version

[GHST-13]

Describe the bug After launch, I receive the follow error message: _A Javascript Error occurred in the main process_ _Uncaught Exception: Error: read ECONNRESET at TCP.onStreamRead (internal_streambasecommons.js:205:27)

Once launched, 3 chrome windows open up (with blue colored logo) and a javapath cmd promt type screen opens up (its a black screen that looks like cmdprompt but with no text on it)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Input all settings
2. Launch
3. See error

Expected behavior A solid launch! I added java and jdk to my path.

Screenshots Will do if needed

Error output _A Javascript Error occurred in the main process_ _Uncaught Exception: Error: read ECONNRESET at TCP.onStreamRead (internal_streambasecommons.js:205:27)

Desktop (please complete the following information): Windows 10

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

Hi! Can you please provide me few informations:

• The IGopher's log file located under logs/ subfolder in the installation directory (be careful to remove your credentials from it since IGopher log them atm)
• The Java version installed on your Windows with the command java --version
• The version of IGopher installed

[GHST-13]

i'm sorry, as I am new to this can you tell me what exactly my credentials are in the logs? i have them pulled up but don't know what exactly my credentials would be.

java --version java 17.0.1 2021-10-19 LTS Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 17.0.1+12-LTS-39) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.1+12-LTS-39, mixed mode, sharing)

i have the latest version of IGopher, as I just clicked the link that said "latest release"

[hbollon]

Ok so can you try with Java 8? Download link

[hbollon]

{"level":"warning","msg":"Error renaming ".\lib\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe" to ".\lib\chromedriver.exe": rename .\lib\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe .\lib\chromedriver.exe: Access is denied.","time":"2021-11-10T22:22:45-08:00"}

Apparently you have a known bug Can you check if chromedriver.exe file is present in the lib subfolder?

[GHST-13]

yes it is, in the chromedriver_win32 folder

[GHST-13]

and in the lib folder

[hbollon]

Ok so it should be good, can you provide me a screenshot of your lib/ subfolder please? Imo it must be related with Java 17 which must not be compatible with Selenium 3 (a dependency used), try with Java 8.

EDIT: according to this source you must have java 8 or 11 (maybe some minor issues with 11).

[GHST-13]

i currently am, is the JDK unaffected?

[GHST-13]

here is pic of lib

[hbollon]

i currently am, is the JDK unaffected?

Accordingly to your java --version output, the used Java SE Runtime used is 17. You must change it by one of the supported versions. Currently IGopher is under development and was tested with Java 8 (https://www.java.com/fr/download/) I heavily advice you this one

I'm currently test with openjdk-11 (I will keep you updated) and in the future IGopher should be compatible with newer versions of Java

[GHST-13]

okay, so now here's whats going on:

after downloading java 8: it got to the point where the bot opens chrome, logins in, goes to followers, and once its there the entire thing just shuts down and then theres nothing. nothing at all. no error, nothing.

[GHST-13]

okay! it has sent the first dm. but it is rather slow right now, will there be any chance to speed this process up in the future?

also, i ordered the bot to send 2 dms only, but it continued to send more than 2. So I exited the browser and cmd prompt, but once they were closed i got that same error message and the entire bot closed out. _Uncaught Exception: Error: read ECONNRESET at TCP.onStreamRead (internal_streambasecommons.js:205:27)

[hbollon]

It's handled by quotas settings that you can tweak but also have minimal random waiting times between actions. As I told you previously IGopher is designed to be a "safe" Instagram bot aiming account security and durability over time instead of massive spamming. That said, it will be possible to reduce or disable waiting times but in this case the security of your account will not be guaranteed anymore and it will be banned quickly.

Note: I tested IGopher with openjdk-11 and it works great. I will so update the README to specify the Java version constraint.

[hbollon]

also, i ordered the bot to send 2 dms only, but it continued to send more than 2.

Can I have your config.yml file please located under config/? (be careful to remove your credentials once again)

So I exited the browser and cmd prompt, but once they were closed i got that same error message and the entire bot closed out. Uncaught Exception: Error: read ECONNRESET at TCP.onStreamRead (internal_streambase_commons.js:205:27)

This bug is known and already fixed on the master branch but not released yet. I will probably be released with the v0.4.0 update which is coming soon :wink: You can watch this repo for new releases to be noticed when a new one is out :+1:
