Ah, this is my fault—it's throwing an error because I didn't mention that you should download the chrome extensions I'm using for proxy authentication and ad blocking. I'll add a quick check and a link to these instructions, but a lot of the code should realistically be refactored at a later date.

---

Instructions:

• Use CRX Downloader to download the ublock origin extension file, rename it ublock_origin.crx
  (here's a direct download link)
• Use CRX Downloader to download the proxy auto auth extension file, rename it proxy_auto_auth.crx
  (here's a direct download link)
• Put both files in the same folder as everything else

You (@SmitzyxD) should also update/redownload the contents of this repository before doing the above steps. I'm sorry about the trouble thus far. Please let me know if you have any additional issues (honestly, I haven't tested this program particularly recently).

im still getting errors . File "c:\Python39\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\common\service.py", line 78
except TypeError:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

i was getting an error before that was cmd = [self.path] invalid indent then i fixed that but now this came up. cant seem to fix it

[maxtheaxe]

Can you also send the error you were having before that you fixed? You haven't changed any of the Selenium code, have you?

[SmitzyxD]

I havnt changed the slenium code. i was getting an error that was like 1 code of line that said that cmd = [self.path] File "c:\Python39\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\common\service.py", line 76 invalid indentation. i fixed it by doing autopep8 -i "c:\Python39\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\common\service.py.
then this error came up File "c:\Python39\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\common\service.py", line 78
except TypeError:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Okay, using autopep8 does in fact alter the Selenium code. Given that Selenium is written by people far more experienced than myself (excluding the code I've personally committed to it, lol), I'm inclined to say that whatever error you're getting is probably caused by either something in my code, or a change that was made (by you, accidentally) to theirs. Thus, I believe that it may be helpful to do a clean install of everything. Here's what I would do:

• delete the local version of my repo
• clone it again, then follow my instructions from earlier regarding the extensions (the .crx files)
• create a new virtual environment within the newly-cloned version of my repo (within that directory, run python3 -m venv venv)
• activate/enter the virtual environment (in the same terminal/cmd run source venv/bin/activate)
• try to run farmer.py and install each of the missing requirements (pip install <missing thing>) in that virtual environment as errors are thrown (I'm sorry, I will upload a proper requirements.txt later)
• follow along with my instructions from the README

If you do all of that, we can eliminate potential modification of the Selenium library as a failure point. Please check back afterwards to let me know if that's fixed your problems.

Okay. I ran the farmer.py and this is what im getting.

and if i open the accounts creator.py this is what i get

Hello?

[maxtheaxe]

Apologies for the delay. If you want, I'm happy to hop on a call and help you get fully set up once and for all.
