Fail to login due to language of web driver does not change

[victorviro]

I specify the language when login: pinterest.login(lang="en"). But when driver goes to "https://pinterest.com/login"

py3-pinterest/py3pin/Pinterest.py

Line 202 in 8a01d43

driver.get("https://pinterest.com/login")

it redirects automatically to spanish version "https://www.pinterest.es/login/"

Then the login fails at looking for logins

py3-pinterest/py3pin/Pinterest.py

Line 212 in 8a01d43

logins = driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//*[contains(text(), 'Log in')]")

since the text to search is different ("Iniciar sesión" instead of "Log in")

[victorviro]

This is due to the changing of the language of the driver is not working

py3-pinterest/py3pin/Pinterest.py

Line 187 in 8a01d43

chrome_options.add_argument("--lang=%s" % lang)

Adding this line chrome_options.add_experimental_option('prefs', {'intl.accept_languages': lang}) solves the problem

Anyway, I recommend use the english language. Otherwise logins may not be found

py3-pinterest/py3pin/Pinterest.py

Line 212 in 8a01d43

logins = driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//*[contains(text(), 'Log in')]")

due to the text to search may be different

Running into the same issue I can confirm that changing the profile settings on Pinterest to country: US and language English solves this problem but will of course change your user experience in Pinterest to English. Hence I tried something different and change the login function in Pinterest.py to:

        ...
        driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)
        
        # select login url according to lang parameter
        login_url = "https://pinterest.com/login"
        if lang == "de":
            login_url = "https://pinterest.de/login"
        
        driver.get(login_url)

        try:
            WebDriverWait(driver, wait_time).until(
                EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "email"))
            )

            driver.find_element(by = By.ID, value='email').send_keys(self.email)
            driver.find_element(by = By.ID, value="password").send_keys(self.password)
            driver.find_element(by = By.ID, value="password").send_keys(Keys.ENTER)

            WebDriverWait(driver, wait_time).until(
                EC.invisibility_of_element((By.ID, "email"))
            )

            cookies = driver.get_cookies()
            ...

It is important to use the language specific login page, seems Pinterest does some magic in conjunction with the language setting in the profile. To be more independent from language specific web page content, instead of searching the element to click on the web-page, you can just send a key press for the return key.

This solution works for me using English or German and probably will work for other languages too, if you extend the if-clause determin the login_url.
