Does not download stories when --load-cookies is passed
ekalin opened this issue · comments
Describe the bug
When --load-cookies
is passed, stories are not downloaded, even if the loaded cookies provided a valid session (and the user is considered logged in).
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Log in using a browser
instaloder --stories --load-cookies firefox taylorswift
Expected behavior
Posts and stories should be downloaded.
Error messages and tracebacks
No error is reported, and posts are downloaded, but there's a warning at the start:
--login=USERNAME required to download stories.
Instaloader version
Using upcoming/4.12 branch.
Additional context
--load-cookies
is an anternative to --login
, so it should be considered when checking if stories are downloaded.
There might be other places where a similar problem happens.
I looked at the code and it seems that the only place where --load-cookies
is not considered a login is for stories.
