Do not target random generated classes - script error #36

Open blackbyte-pl opened 6 years ago

blackbyte-pl commented 6 years ago

Currently to target elements you use random generated classnames that instagram is rerolling from time to time like: h1._rf3jb. This class does not exist any more which causes puppeteer to error and whole script to die. Please target specific tags or sections, do not rely on classes

Thanks you for warning me. Yes I know they are generated but I couldn't see any other way to recover the element. You can create a PR if you have a solution.

There is no perfect solution for some of the items but main ones should be doable. I will drop a PR soon
