Account following stuck with "* IGNORE: Already following:..."

Post by visionmw »

Hi Martin,

I found that the "Following task" on some of my accounts gets stuck trying to follow the same accounts that it had already followed. The task is set to follow the followers of certain account. By looking at the logs, it seems to me that it gathers the list of followers from the target account, and removes the ones that I already follow, however, when it goes to process the remaining list, all of them are ignored with the message "* IGNORE: Already following:..."

Am I missing something or is this a bug?
If so, could you please have a look at it when you have a chance?
I already submitted the logs.

Log ID:
logs_59810_........._3.0.8.564_Twitterdub_

Thanks

if you are running this scrape over and over again, the scrape will be default start at the beginning (allowing you to scrape the latest followers of that account, but if there are not many it will have to scrape through previous results.

You can avoid this by running a scrape on all the followers via the SCRAPE tab, then using the results file to run a follow FROM FILE action (search dropdown has the option)

Awesome ! that fixed my problem. I hadn't used the scrape tool until now, it's a good feature.

Thanks a lot for your help.
