I noticed that keywords could be something we can use with multiple values.

For example, if I want to reach out to recruiters, I could use the following:

--keywords "Tech Recruiter" --keywords "Recruiter" --keywords "Talent Acquisition"

What do you think?

Description

We need to change the way we target elements in the DOM. Look at the above code it's so messy and probably need some refactoring. If we do not figure out a more systematic way of finding elements in the DOM then this code is bound to be labelled as legacy tommorow. Chained function calls lying around that way makes code less readable and messy. Probably we need to build some kind of abstraction around it that will just take in the selectors for selecting elements in the DOM and will return WebElement if found.

Possible solutions

Is it possible to include a custom message when using the bot? As per the screenshot...

Description

As of now command show which is meant to show the information of user(s) stored in the database (database is also not set yet) does not work. It will be a good feature to implement in conjunction with config and delete command to give user's ability to store their email and password in a database so they don't have to type their email and password every time they want to automate a LinkedIn session.

show command will be helpful to read out the database and dump the content of the database on the console or any raw file in case user want that.

Possible solutions

1. Try to set up a database probably in inb/database, (use SQLite).
2. Check if database exists or not.
3. Independent of the platform, check if we have read permissions or not.
4. Either dump the database or throw PERM error depending on the step 3.

Description

Leaving on a long road trip without using a map is going to waste a lot of valuable time even if we get there eventually and I feel this is the same what we are doing. Project inb is currently in its beta state so before proposing any change we must write design document on it.

Possible solutions

Add software design description inside of the docs/project folder.

Things to add:

1. Title, author and reviewers.
   1. Title: Title of the project with a description.
   2. Author: Author of the document not the code.
   3. Reviewers: Reviewers of the document not the code.
2. Functional description.
   1. What does the software do?
   2. Start-up procedure.
   3. Exception handling.
   4. Limitations.
3. Command line interface.
4. Goals and Milestones.
5. Prioritization.
6. Current and proposed solutions.

Description

As of now the config command which is meant to create or update entries in the database does not work. It will be a good feature to implement in conjunction with the delete command and before show command.

Possible solutions

1. Try to set up a database probably in inb/database, (use SQLite).
2. Check if we have write permissions or not if not then throw PERM error otherwise follow the below steps.
3. Check if database exists or not, if it does not then create the following table:

   CREATE TABLE database_name.inb_users(
       Email CHAR(50) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
       Password CHAR(50) NOT NULL,
       CreatedAt DATETIME DEFAULT (STRFTIME('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%f', 'NOW')) 
   );

   Note: Database must be created at the top level directory inside of the db folder.
4. After the 2 step, insert the fields given by the user.

config command should follow the following command line arguments:

$ inb.py config --email "user_email" --password "user_password"

Replace MIT license that is at the top of some python file in the repository and replace it with BSD 3-Clause license like the one here and also update the README and the LICENSE file with BSD 3-Clause license.

Unclosed input/output buffer while testing custom print functions makes python throw ResourceWarning.

Reproduction

1. Add the following line to test.py file

   from tests.console.print import TestPrintFunctions

2. Run test script.

Environment

• Device: laptop
• OS: Ubuntu
• Interpreter: python3.7

Resolution

• I would be interested in resolving this bug.

Description

Argument force has no effect on the coloured print functions where it was supposed to print the text in the given color and style when the force="+f" it doesn't do that. This force argument is to force the coloured print functions to print the given text in the given color and style this functionality is needed when the user turns the theme to normal where every coloured print function just print the given text in the normal style but still we need to highlight some of the information like errors, waiting infos, etc.

Reproduction

1. Try turning the theme to normal using command theme --normal.
2. Type a command or flag that is not recognised.
3. See the problem when the error string is printed in normal text.

Expectation

As the force argument is enabled and the coloured print functions are coded for this functionality it must highlight the text.

Screenshots

See it should print the 'whydoesn'tforceargumentworks' is not a 'linkedin' command! in bright red color but it didn't.

Description

Automatically filing an issue from the user's end is a requirement which we must fulfil. An example of the application of this feature is here #32.

Possible solutions

We should probably make use of the PyGithub API to implement this feature.

Steps to follow before filing an issue:

1. Generate a issue template.
2. Attach generated logs in the generated issue template.
3. Mark Assignees.
4. Attach Labels.
5. Submit new issue.

Description

Invitation status for search command should display more information than just,

<status>  <full name>
<occupation>
Success: <count>  Failure: <count>  Elapsed time: <count>

We should scrape as much of data as we can to later store in our logs record.

Possible solutions

For search functionality all we need to do is to transform the transform_to_object function inside get_search_results_elements() function to also scrape profile url, degree, location, summary, and shared connections.

Later we can display the collected information on the console like the following:

<status>  <full name>  • <degree>
<occupation>
<location>
<summary>
<shared connections>
Profile Id: <id (from the profile url)>
URL: <profile url>
Success: <count>  Failure: <count>  Elapsed time: <count>

Templates

One such template for that could be the following:

SEARCH_INVITATION_STATUS_TEMPL = """    {{status}}  {{full_name}}  • {{degree}}
    {{person_occupation}}
    {{person_location}}
    {{person_summary}}
    {{shared_connections}}
    ID: {{profile_id}}
    URL: {{profile_url}}
    Success:  {{success}}  Failure: {{failure}}  Elapsed time: {{elapsed_time}}\n"""

Note: You should print the next status after the current status rather than clearing up the current status to make room for next status.

Hi,
Please provide the instructions on how to use the linkedin.message? Also are there any plans on implementing the bulk send messages to connections?

Description

Because LinkedIn keeps changing its element's selector every now and then, we must capture the stack trace to find out which element's selector has got changed.

Possible solutions

It would be a good feature if we could just implement a logging call that will log the stack trace in case of NoSuchElementException. This logging call must log in a separate file inside of the logs directory inside of the project's root directory.

We also must provide user the ability to automatically file an issue with the generated logs in case inb breaks because of NoSuchElementException.

Automatically file an issue with generated logs

You'll find more details on this issue here #31.

i have cloned the repo in my local and followed the instruction when i run this script

Users can not use the bundled version of inb into a single executable unless the chromedriver is served from the environment PATH. We need to install chromedriver inside a local system path and then extend the environment PATH with it so that the chromedriver will be visible to our executable.

The above function should install chromedriver inside a local system path and then extend the environment PATH with it independent of the platform the user is running.

For now the solution could be to just ignore TestProtectedGetGoogleChromeBinaryVersionFunction fixture and continue with the rest of the test fixtures :(.

Element Send Now button has changed to No.

Possible solutions

Add corresponding changes to the following lines, instead of targeting element at "//button[@aria-label='Send now']" target the new No button.

This code is a bit redundant so try to refactor the above code in a single function call.

There are known issues that seem to be problematic (resuming the whole history if the branch is master; all others are enslaved branches).

If the name is main, all other branches would be side branches instead of enslaved branches. Can you fix that?

I have also tried this package in Linux but it failed to give me any output
i have tried in ubuntu 20.4 and when i run this script

python3 inb.py search --email [email protected] --xxxxx --keyword 'Software Engineer' --refresh-cookies

Still this script not giving any errors !!!

kindly resolve the issue

Description

Deprecate the support of language_tool_python for correcting template syntax; we don't need it anymore.

You can remove the following code:

Also,

Also, change the constructor's argument list by removing the grammar_check argument from here and subsequently update the call to Template constructor:

Also, remove the following lines of code from _install() function in inb.sh.

Make sure to update the requirements.txt as well.

I saw a case where a person doesn't have all the info in the profile (like occupation, name, location, etc.), and since the self._something is None, we see this error in the console, and the process stops.

We need a fallback string for when the value is None.

Add a fallback string on _replace_template_var_with_template_value should fix the issue

To make inb more robust, add following features to gather information on LinkedIn inside of the ig module. Once fetched store these values inside of a SQL database.

• Add functionality to get the contact number (if possible) of the account holder.
• Add functionality to get the email address (if possible) of the account holder.
• Add functionality to scrape the interests of the account holder.
• Add functionality to get the company details of the account holder.

Description

It has been observed that user's given limit for the search command over the command line has no actual effect on the LinkedInSearchConnect's send invitation functionality.

$ python3 inb/inb.py search --email "[email protected]" --password "F:(:);GVlk\`" --keyword "Software Developer" limit 20

The above limit value is not going to force the search command to limit the invitations to 20 instead search command will fallback to its default behaviour i.e., 40.

Possible solutions

I guess the only possible solution is to debug the program from command.py file to all the way to linkedinsearchconnect.py file.

Description

As of now command delete which is meant to delete the user's information from the database or the entire database, does not work. It will be a good feature to implement in conjunction with config command to give user's the ability to create and remove database entries or to remove the entire database with the help of the delete command.

Possible solutions

1. Check if we have write permissions.
2. Check if database exists, if yes then follow step 3.
3. If requested to delete entries, delete the entries using the Python SQLite API using which the database was created.
4. If requested to delete the entire database, execute rm -f command on the database.

Current version of enable_webdriver_chrome() doesn't validate the chromedriver_path before passing it to the webdriver.Chrome constructor. This may lead to WebdriverException for false driver path. Moreover, we are not checking if the chromedriver binary is present in the executable path or not. We can do these checks and make sure everything is set up before executing further.

It is unclear how to use parameters like --regions or --industries.

Can we provide better docs on this?

Using the project without cloning the repo would be significant, something like docker pull inb and then docker run inb ....

The experience nowadays is already better than needing to install Python manually. However, users still have to clone the repo, which adds friction to the usage and popularization of this tool.

We could publish a docker image straight away, and the users would pull it without cloning the repo or needing the source code to run the project.

as MVP: I can clone/build/publish the image directly under the inb name and update the README.md, adding new instructions to use the project without cloning the repo.

This adds great value already, as we'd have the value for the users to pull from Docker straightaway. The issue with this is that it adds manual work.

We should add a GitHub action to publish the image at every push. I wouldn't say we need to run to do this, as we don't have releases/changes often.

Any chance of us setting up the project with docker instead of manually download and installing with Python?

discover_entity_list()

Method does not return <ul /> elements as expected, it just goes into that while True loop and then not coming out of it.

def discover_entity_list(self: LinkedInConnectionsAuto, xpath: str = "", wait_time: int = 10) -> object:
    """Method discover_entity_list() returns a WebElement that is located at the given xpath.

    :Args:

        - wait_time: {int} time to wait until the WebElement loads

    :Returns:
        - {WebElement}

                    (By.XPATH, xpath)))
        except TimeoutException:
            continue

I've cross checked the xpath, xpath is fine but the problem is once the function goes into that loop it doesn't come out because WebDriverWait is not able to find that element with the given xpath.

Element with that xpath is present in that page in fact it is the element that is present below the invitations box. I don't know why this method suddenly decided to go weird but before today the problem wasn't there it just worked fine.

Description

It has been observed that function levenshtein() does not do anything useful except for slowing down the element click process when used inside of the check_for_filter() method.

The idea behind using levenshtein distance was to make sure that user gets correct results even after making a typo in the query for location command, but it has been observed that the chances of something like that is quite a few or almost none. In cases where user enters a location that is not present in the filters section of LinkedIn, program has to always compute levenshtein distance for the given location and the locations present in the filters section of LinkedIn which really slows down the process.

Possible solutions

Completely delete file levenshtein.py and refactor the function check_for_filter() to the following:

    def check_for_filter(filter: str,
                         filter_dict: Dict[str, webdriver.Chrome]) -> None:
      """Nested function check_for_filter() checks if the filter option is present or not.

      :Args:
          - filter: {str} Filter option to search for.
          - filter_dict: {Dict[str, webdriver.Chrome]} Hash-map containing filter one side and
              the element to click on, on the other side.
      """
      nonlocal self
      filters_present: List[str] = filter_dict.keys()

      def click_overlapped_element(element: webdriver.Chrome) -> None:
        """Nested function click_overlapped_element() fixes the WebdriverException:
        Element is not clickable at point (..., ...).

        :Args:
            - element: {webdriver.Chrome} Element.
        """
        nonlocal self
        # @TODO: Validate if the current version of this function is efficient
        self._driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)

      if isinstance(filter, str):
        if filter in filters_present:
          click_overlapped_element(filter_dict[filter])
        else
            raise Exception('Given filter "' + filter + '" is not present.')
        return

      if isinstance(filter, list):
        for fltr in filter:
          if fltr in filters_present:
            click_overlapped_element(filter_dict[fltr])
            continue
          else
            raise Exception('Given filter "' + fltr + '" is not present.')
          return

This way we immediately halt the process in case there is an error in the query given by the user.

Feature

A better feature could be to dump the present locations on the console and allow user to select one or more of them to continue the invitation sending process.

I got the app working before on Arm64... from memory I just needed to install chromium and copy it to the required location...

sudo apt install python3-pip python3-setuptools git chromium get's the dependencies for debian and then sudo cp /usr/bin/chromedriver ~/inb/driver/chromedriver gets an arm64 compatible chromedriver binary in place...

Description

Add message templates in SQL database. Currently it only supports json files lying around the code base; we need a more efficient way to store and fetch the template messages for customizing invitation request because the way we currently store template data will get ugly when the message template database will increase.

Possible solutions

The above data should be moved to a SQLite database named message_templates inside the directory db in the top level directory, to do so follow the following steps:

1. Create a database with name message_templates.db.
2. Create the following table or extend it if you want to:

   CREATE TABLE database_name.message_templates(
       Id CHAR(50) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
       Template TEXT NOT NULL,
       CreatedAt DATETIME DEFAULT (STRFTIME('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%f', 'NOW'))
   );

All the database operations must be performed inside of the directory inb/database.
