Hey Tim, Thank you so much for the tutorial!

How to by-pass language tab, how to select English in this program. ?

HI, Sir. I run the same code, but it raises staleelementreferenceexception for the actions.perform( ) command, and sometimes it just click the cookie once. What is the reason? Thanks

Hmm this one didn't work well for me. There's a language selector now and I was able to click English, then I got StaleElementReferenceException which I was able to work around. Then it was only clicking the cookie one time. I appreciate the tutorial, imo it would've been better with a real world example instead of clicking a cookie... Oh well, onto the next one!

is anyone else unable to open this site with selenium? I get connection refused

I am trying to follow this, but when my browser opens the page I have to select a language, got that sorted, but now I can't figure out how to have it start clicking on the cookie. Any ideas?

Very nice tutorial. Useful thing would be to add some random sleep (0.1-0.3 sec) between clicks against detection.

ActionChains clicking is acctualy very slow. Much faster clicking is achieved without it:

for i in range(5000):
cookie.click()
count = int(cookie_count.text.split(" ")[0])
print(count)
for item in items:
value = int(item.text)
if value <= count:
item.click()

got hooked onto the game instead 🤣

Need help copy data from excel and search into site and then again copy search results from sote and then copy and paste back to excel in perticular column

it only clicks the cookie once :(

Thank you! I wonder how can I speed up the clicking? Like clicking 100 times a second

that's cool bro

I have a problem. Command perform() just ignores the for i in range(5000). It runes chain just one time. MacBook.

Aren't action chains basically performing the same role as declaring a function?

Thanks a lot Tim for the easy way, i have something really weird, when I use this part of the code

actions = ActionChains(browser)
actions.click(cookie)

for i in range(1000):

actions.perform()

it perform only 1 click

when i change it to

for i in range(1000):
actions = ActionChains(browser)
actions.click(cookie)
actions.perform()

it works great, dose any one can help in that?

help, when I try item.text the program give me this error: AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'text'
how can I fix it????

Hopefully you will come back to this series one day :/

Is the try block and implicitly_wait function the same? can we just alternate between them?

Bro pliss help when i run i got error cann't import name Action Chains

You are good, bro

how can i make it click faster?

Sitting through your Ads, cos you deserve it!!

Hey, im trying this out and i want to make the price list become longer as more items are unlocked anybody got a hint for this

I have a question, so as you said i may get IP banned. Can I use a proxy to avoid that?

Also, let's say I live Europe and I wanna bot a website that's based in the US. Do I need to use a server to speed up the process, (with the proxy to change my ip) for example AWS or Google cloud or whatever? Or is the proxy sufficient?

Funny that Tim shows his hands off the mouse, but never his feet. He's definitely just using feet mouse

did not work for me :(
I did all the previous lessons and had success.
this one did not go (not even the first part)

91.981 trillion cookies baby

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: disconnected: received Inspector.detached event

Looks like they have some security check in cookieclicker now

this tutorial is hard to be applicable in other projects , not very useful

Thanks for the video, very helpful for a beginner like me. I'd like to ask, though, is there any chance for the clicks to be faster? Even my grandma can click faster than this (pun intended). I've been googling for a while and couldn't find anything helpful on the topic.

You got error because it was 3,240 something and not 3240

you don't need the sentence move_to_element, if you say directly upgrade_actions.click(item) it works just fine... And you have another mistake, when checking if the cookie_count value es greater than some upgrade, as it loops over the two items it buys the cheapest always and never gets to the most expensive, regardless the position in the list, but as you said, this tutorial was not about making a perfect cookie clicker script, it was to show us the functioning of the ActionChains, and that I must say you did indeed sir, great video

Just discovered your channel, BIG thumbs up!

"if we have a 100 cookies, I'd like to do grandma"

Damn. I wanted to use Selenium to automate a survey I have to fill out every morning before entering work. But your comment about being banned put me off, lol.

This doesn't work, whenever the cookie_count is over 23, it upgrades the cursor, and thus you can never reach 100.

you explain so well! and all the things you taught I can implement in my project which i find rare (me being a beginner), thanks a lot man. Respect.

i got AttributeError(“move_to requires a WebElement”) AttributeError: move_to requires a WebElement error when i run this code. I could fix it with a lil help from stackoverflow but why you didnt get this error?

Just am in love with your style of teaching and materials!!! Amazing!!! Wow...!!!

"like to do Grandma!!!"
-Tim
LOL!!!!!

I got a lot of errors and it does not work

Thanks for the great vids.

Hi Tim, i just realized that using an opened browser from command line(using a .bat file) makes selenium much faster on low end computers like mine. i would like to share some videos later just like you
