bhamodi / facebook-online-friend-tracker Goto Github PK

Hi, firstly thanks for creating this script, very good idea :)
I will test here now, but I have a problem...

I did the setup following the instructions, I installed Python and the package via PIP, but when I try to run the script command the terminal return that command not found, see:

$ facebook-online-friend-tracker
-bash: facebook-online-friend-tracker: command not found

Ideas how solve it?

Thanks in advance!

Which configuration did you use?
I tried to run on a raspberry pi and a debian web server (without X)
I get the following error messages

I'm encountering the following error:

Any hint about what is causing this?

The script has worked fine for a few days, but now it always detects 0 friends online, even when it is clearly not the case. Any clue why this would happen?

Thanks for your script!

I try to run it on Mac and I get:

Instead of using ChromeDriver which pops up a visible Chrome Browser, let's investigate what it would take to switch to PhantomJS to run headless.

So I finally managed to get my hands on this awesome stuff, but my excitement ended after this error:

As it seems to work for others, I guess it's a problem in my folder structure or something similar ?
Thank you.

I have gotten the Facebook Online Friend Tracker to work, but it doesn't correctly update the friends list (number of friends). It continuously shows 0 friends instead of the correct amount.

Hi,

I tried the code on mac, and it created a csv file itself, but the problem is that it always gets 0 friends online, which is not true. Do not know where the problem is, maybe the code tries to find something that facebook changed. Let me know if you know what issue it could be.
