Cannot read property 'textContent' of null

[dziban303]

Apparently the same issue as #16. I'm creating a new issue because that ticket lacks the whole error. This started a few days ago, apparently caused by a change in Amazon's HTML.

It usually, but not always, occurs just after login and after the giveaway matrix page loads.

Starting give_it_away_now.py
Log into Amazon...

Found a workaround/cause. When you launch the application and then click the signin button before it automatically loads that page it causes this issue. The workaround is not to touch anything until the console starts spamming please login to touch anything.

I know it's been a while, but this issue persists even when touching nothing.

I'm not really updating this anymore, sorry. Lost interest

Said every maintainer of every branch of this project ever :P

Haha, I don't blame you. The giveaways are pretty meh.

Thanks for the initial contributions, anyway!

[sniffingpickles]

That looks like a pyppeteer error though, you may want to just double check it's all update to date

btw, the only things i've won doing this was a dress for a 6 year old girl, and a few books. I think I entered something like 44,000'ish giveaways in the 4 months i kept it running.
