[ERROR] Unable to locate element about substack-archives-downloader

Ohh it seems like the naming of the CSS selection has changed. Will fix when I find the time!

I wonder if it's possible to login via API, which would presumably be less flaky.

@Klaudioz have fixed the issue, lmk if it works for you.

In case you're interested in how I fixed it, I downloaded the Selenium IDE extension, clicked around the new interface, and noted the modified CSS / link text of the relevant elements, and modified the code accordingly (see this).

Thank you. I checked the code a few days ago but I'm more a backend engineer than a frontend engineer. Even when I've experience with Python and Selenium I'm not very skillful at Chrome debugging.

I think it changed again because I'm getting a similar error:

Please wait while we log in using the credential you provided...
Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":".desktop-button"}
  (Session info: headless chrome=107.0.5304.87)

Unexpected error occurred while logging in.
We're sorry, something has gone wrong.

I tried poking in the dev tools console, but the selector I'm getting is much much longer than what you have there, so I think I got the wrong one?
