Syntax Error in easyapplybot.py

[aaronhouillon]

Getting this error trying to run the script:

line 206
    self.browser, jobs_per_page: int = self.next_jobs_page(position,
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: only single target (not tuple) can be annotated

I'm also getting this error, figured it had something to do with what version of Python I was running, so I tried the latest version and still got this error.

me too

[samilAyoub]

what python version you are using?

[21jujubees]

Using 3.10.7

[MaxFritzhand]

Here is the fix: OLD: line 206 self.browser, jobs_per_page: int = self.next_jobs_page(position,

NEW: line 206 self.browser, jobs_per_page = self.next_jobs_page(position,

I believe their is also another reference of this, so remove that as well and this issue should be resolved

[samilAyoub]

I think It would be better if we could know which python version is used

[MaxFritzhand]

I was using python3

[MaxFritzhand]

3.7.8

[aaronhouillon]

I'm using Python 3.10.6

Here is the fix: OLD: line 206 self.browser, jobs_per_page: int = self.next_jobs_page(position,

NEW: line 206 self.browser, jobs_per_page = self.next_jobs_page(position,

I believe their is also another reference of this, so remove that as well and this issue should be resolved

This worked for me, thank you! I also had to change line 70.

OLD: def get_appliedIDs(self, filename) -> list | None:

NEW: def get_appliedIDs(self, filename) -> list:

I've implemented these fixes, and the code will run, but now it's not applying to any jobs :( it just keeps sleeping and waiting while the LinkedIn jobs are pulled up on the screen.

Yeah the same thing happens to me but at least I get to see it boot up, kinda lost as to where to go from here lol

[MaxFritzhand]

I can send you my revised version of the code snippet if that helps? How can I share it with you guys?

[octoshrimpy]

@MaxFritzhand just make a PR here with your changes, so we can see your fork. :smile:

[MaxFritzhand]

Have a look at my branch! Just added @octoshrimpy @21jujubees let me know if this helps. Just use this easyapplybot.py file and it should be good to go.

@MaxFritzhand Awesome job! If I want to specify jobs posted in the last 24 hours, do you know what changes I would have to make in your fork?

I figured it out if anyone wants to know. Just change the url on line 406 to "https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/search/?f_LF=f_AL&f_TPR=r86400&keywords=" and it will specify jobs posted in the last 24 hours

I'm not farmiliar with Jacob's fork but in the original version that's specified in the csv management section on line 79

        df = df[df['timestamp'] > (datetime.now() - timedelta(days=2))]

Changing 'days=(# of days you want)' should work, and this will allow you to specify any number of days

I had the same issue as well. LinkedIn has been changing the HTML lately and that's why your code cannot find the element. Change line 186 to:

                  './/a[@data-control-id]'

There may be some lingering issues finding the jobIDs, but this at least should allow your code to apply. Hope this helps!
