Selenium trash moment

#

But yeah we need full code kek

#

Probably an issue with scrolling

#

Just fyi, viewbotting is against tos and viewbotting with Selenium is a bad idea, you'll spend more on servers than you could ever make from renting the bot out 🙂

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 7:36 PM

#

yeah but like I said not mine and im new to Python 😬 but I can send full code

hooow

xd

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 7:37 PM

#

Can you read?

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 7:37 PM

#

grim coral yeah but like I said not mine and im new to Python 😬 but I can send full code

My friends cat's dog wrote my code, my guess is that you either didn't scroll to the element (i.e. the target element is not in the viewport)

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 7:37 PM

grim coral hooow

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 7:38 PM

cosmic prism My friends cat's dog wrote my code, my guess is that you either didn't scroll to...

I dont understand what you mean

#

fr

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 7:39 PM

#

Damn we just copying code from github and putting our name in the title bar now

#

Very nice

#

Ah

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 7:39 PM

#

Instead of trying to do jokes about me or smth you could just help me

#

Or did I say any bad

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 7:40 PM

#

grim coral Or did I say any bad

Yes it's against tos but whatever

#

The issue is that the original author also doesn't know Python

#

So basically in line 119

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 7:40 PM

#

The thing is it worked like 1-2 months ago

#

but now it doesnt anymore

#

after I resetted my pc

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 7:41 PM

#

It's broken for all of the funny proxies you have in there, correct?

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 7:41 PM

#

yes

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 7:43 PM

#

A sleep between line 117 and 119 would probably be enough

#

(you can figure out how to sleep in Python on your own, I believe in you)

#

But the application probably won't scale much beyond like 10 or 15 viewers

You could use all of the proxies at the same time but even then it'd be pretty resource-intensive

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 7:44 PM

#

Yeah I tried and it worked like 20-30 without lags

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 7:45 PM

#

cosmic prism (you can figure out how to sleep in Python on your own, I believe in you)

😳

#

did it like this now

#

dont know if its right but its still not working

#

You have any other idea?

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 7:51 PM

#

I'd suggest to get rid of the --headless flag in line 107 so you can see what it's doing

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 7:52 PM

#

hmmm

#

there are cookies on the website

#

could it be the problem?

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 7:53 PM

#

Maybe you have to accept the funny GDPR cookie banner first

#

Can you click on the URL bar without accepting cookies?

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 7:53 PM

#

yes

#

how can I do it so it accepts it automaticly

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 7:55 PM

#

Open the dev tools

#

Ctrl + Shift + I

#

Clicc through the funny HTML and locate the cookie accept button

#

(Copy XPath or it's ID then driver.find_element by id or by xpath that element and then element.clicc it)

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 7:58 PM

#

So I know what you mean but I don't know how to implement it

#

Could you help me there?

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 7:59 PM

#

What part are you struggling with exactly?

#

I won't write any code for you, sorry

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:00 PM

#

First I dont know how to find out the button. I mean its like this rn but im not sure if I do it right

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:00 PM

#

That's the button

#

Now you just gotta figure out how to target that button

#

It doesn't have a nice CSS class like the URL input, but you could still right click it in the HTML explorer in the dev tools and copy the XPath

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:01 PM

#

what do you mean with XPath?

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:02 PM

#

Right click copy as xpath

#

xpath is some magic way of identifying things in other XML or HTML documents

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:02 PM

#

So

#

I got this

#

/html/body/div[8]/div[2]/div[1]/div[2]/div[2]/button[1]/p

#

and now?

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:03 PM

#

So now you go back to thec ode

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:03 PM

#

cosmic prism (Copy XPath or it's ID then driver.find_element by id or by xpath that element a...

before punching stuff into the url field you clicc the button first

#

"selenium click button by xpath python" on Google -> copy pasta

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:04 PM

#

betweeeeennnn

#

timesleep?

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:04 PM

#

Somewhere between sleeping (aka waiting for the page to load) and clicking the button so exactly there, yes

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:07 PM

#

i saw on google

#

and did this

#

is it wrong?

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:07 PM

#

#

I'd probably go with the second approach but whatever

#

Now try running again and see if it automagically accpets cookies

#

Oh damn they removed that method

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:10 PM

#

😮

#

That does mean?

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:11 PM

#

Haven't used Selenium in years, apparently they removed it in 2022 or so

#

driver.find_element("xpath", "some/xpath/here") should work though

#

Can you drop the link to the proxy in here? I want to take a look at the HTML myself

#

But it looks like something's wrong with the XPath

#

lol I don't even get the funny cookie banner

#

nice

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:14 PM

#

lol

#

open other browser maybe

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:14 PM

#

Ah nevermind I have a magic firefox extension that just nukes all of those cookie banners

#

In chrome it's bitching to me again

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:15 PM

#

yea that

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:15 PM

#

You probably want to click the actual button and not the text inside of the button

#

/html/body/div[8]/div[2]/div[1]/div[2]/div[2]/button[1]

#

So this one maybe

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:16 PM

#

😬 ..

#

huh

#

but isnt it the same

#

Yea its the same

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:17 PM

#

So does the form show up in time?

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:17 PM

#

wdym

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:18 PM

#

Does it try to click before the consent form is visible?

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:19 PM

#

How can i see/check it?

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:19 PM

#

add more sleeps and more prints 🗿

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:21 PM

#

spammed it to check

#

but its doing nothing

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:21 PM

#

It'll crash in the first one

#

I'm saying you run the script and see if it pops up in time

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:23 PM

#

Uh

#

i could try to explain what happens

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:23 PM

#

Go ahead

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:23 PM

#

after the browser open it opens the website

#

after opening the website it opens a new tab with the same website

#

than it pops up (the cookie thing)

#

and after like 5-10 seconds it crashes and shows me error code

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:25 PM

#

So we open the website, open the new tab (driver.execute_script... and driver.switch_to.window(...))

#

So it's still not finding the cookie magic for some reason

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:26 PM

#

yea

#

So what should I do now

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:28 PM

#

You're running driver.find_element(xpath)

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:29 PM

#

cosmic prism `driver.find_element("xpath", "some/xpath/here")` should work though

but it should be like this

#

with the xpath being the second argument

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:31 PM

#

So you mean like this

#

?

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:31 PM

#

Yup

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:32 PM

#

Still not working

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:33 PM

#

Why?

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:33 PM

#

idk

#

still stuck at the cookies

#

wait

#

the cookies where gone

#

but than it crashed

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:35 PM

#

So cookie issue is solved

#

Now let's see why it crashes now

#

Do you still try to click the button multiple times? Is the button gone now that you have clicked it once?

#

Not sure how Selenium on Windows handles browser profiles

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:36 PM

#

it needs like 6 seconds for the cookies to be gone

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:37 PM

#

Because of the sleep(5)?

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:39 PM

#

its working now i think

#

nah

#

not working

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:44 PM

#

Probably breaks on the second tab because there's no cookie popup there?

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:45 PM

#

Nah i tried with one only and it worked

#

with 10 it doesnt

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:45 PM

#

Exactly what I said, no?

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:46 PM

#

nah not really

#

wait ill explain in 2 min

#

so if i say 2 viewers not 1 it opens 2 windows yk not tabs

#

but it only works for 1 window

#

if i say i want 10 viewers it crashes

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:48 PM

#

Does it show the cookie popup again in the new windows, or only in the first one?

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:50 PM

#

ah wait i daid it wrong

#

its not opening windows its opening tabs sorry for missunderstanding

#

on the first tab its doing nothing

#

on the second its going right

#

the third one is just doing nothing but doesnt have cookies

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:51 PM

#

cosmic prism Probably breaks on the second tab because there's no cookie popup there?

Which is exactly what I said here

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:51 PM

#

yes ik sorry mb

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:52 PM

#

You only need to close the cookie popup in the first tab

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:52 PM

#

uh wdym now

#

and its only opening 3 tabs

#

if i put 10 viewers its still 3 tabs

#

and crashes than

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 8:53 PM

#

cosmic prism You only need to close the cookie popup in the first tab

.

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 8:54 PM

#

crashes than

#

if i do it

#

what should I do now

#

so

#

i did 2 now

#

on one tab it accepts cookies and works

#

the other one doesnt have cookies than

#

but just crashes

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 9:01 PM

#

cosmic prism You only need to close the cookie popup in the first tab

!

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 9:02 PM

#

Still not working

#

I did

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 9:02 PM

#

How'd you modify the code?

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 9:04 PM

#

Thats everything

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 9:05 PM

#

looks like exactly the same code you had before

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 9:06 PM

#

What should I change

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 9:06 PM

#

cosmic prism You only need to close the cookie popup in the first tab

!

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 9:12 PM

#

yeah but I did

#

and than its crashing

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 9:12 PM

#

What code did you change

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 9:12 PM

#

only this

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 9:13 PM

#

cosmic prism looks like exactly the same code you had before

.

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 9:14 PM

#

What

#

do

#

you

#

mean

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 9:15 PM

#

cosmic prism You only need to close the cookie popup in the first tab

What code changes did you make after I said this

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 9:16 PM

#

Nothing actually

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 9:17 PM

#

So why would it magically work

#

Thanos

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 9:17 PM

#

What should i change?

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 9:17 PM

#

Did you read any of my previous messages?

grim coral Apr 5, 2024, 9:18 PM

#

cosmic prism You only need to close the cookie popup in the first tab

.

#

You mean this

#

right?

#

But now

#

Do you mean to change it in code our do i have to close the cookies by myself

cosmic prism Apr 5, 2024, 9:19 PM

#

Whatever you prefer kek

obtuse cargo Apr 6, 2024, 12:02 AM

#

hey i can help!

plucky fable Apr 6, 2024, 1:11 AM

#

then help lol

grim coral Apr 6, 2024, 9:25 AM

#

Is there a way to make the main.py to an application?

#

I dont know how that works

cosmic prism Apr 6, 2024, 9:26 AM

#

Python is not supposed to be packed into .exe files

grim coral Apr 6, 2024, 9:38 AM

#

not?

#

but why not

cosmic prism Apr 6, 2024, 10:23 AM

#

Because it's not made to ship executables to end users
