Replace that xpath value with "//a[contains(@href, '/following')]" which will successfully access the link even if the exact xpath changes in the future.

i change EC.presence_of_element_located(( By.XPATH, '//*[@id="react-root"]/section/main/div/ul/li[2]/a'))).click()

into this EC.presence_of_element_located(( By.XPATH, "//a[contains(@href, '/following')]"))).click()

but somehow it return nothing to followers.txt file

Yes, I have the same issue, I also updated the path in line 86 where it uses the same path element, but my resulting text file is still empty.

CreaTorAlexander commented 1 year ago

I solved it by replacing line 86 with "//a[contains(@href, '/')]")
