# Day 50 - Tinder auto find match (English)
|
|
|
|
[Dansk](Home-da) · [Bahasa Malaysia](Home-ms)
|
|
|
|
Goal: automate logging in and liking profiles on TinDog with Python and
|
|
Selenium. Ethics first: tell your partner you automate, and respect the daily
|
|
limit (TinDog 20, Tinder free tier 100).
|
|
|
|
## Step 1 - Look at the site by hand
|
|
|
|
|
|
**What we gained:** before coding, click through manually and note which
|
|
elements you must target. Good locators come from looking at the page first.
|
|
|
|
## Step 2 - Navigate to the login page
|
|
|
|
|
|
**What we gained:** `driver.get`, locating buttons with XPath
|
|
(`locators.py`) and waiting for them with `WebDriverWait` +
|
|
`element_to_be_clickable` instead of fixed `sleep` calls. This avoids
|
|
`NoSuchElementException` on slow pages.
|
|
|
|
## Step 3 - The Facebook pop-up
|
|
|
|
|
|
**What we gained:** the login opens a second browser window. We switch with
|
|
`driver.window_handles` and `switch_to.window`, fill the form, then switch back.
|
|
Credentials live in environment variables, never in code.
|
|
|
|
## Step 4 - Dismiss all requests
|
|
Location ([04](../screenshots/04-location.png)), notifications
|
|
([05](../screenshots/05-notifications.png)), cookies
|
|
([06](../screenshots/06-cookies.png)).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**What we gained:** modal pop-ups block everything behind them. We click ALLOW,
|
|
NOT INTERESTED and I ACCEPT, and skip a pop-up that does not appear
|
|
(`TimeoutException` is handled and logged).
|
|
|
|
## Step 5 - Hit Like
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**What we gained:** exception handling as control flow for a flaky UI:
|
|
`NoSuchElementException` means "still loading, wait 2 s and retry";
|
|
`ElementClickInterceptedException` means "a match pop-up is in the way, click
|
|
BACK TO TINDER". A pause between likes keeps the bot from looking like a bot.
|
|
The loop stops at the configured limit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Modernisation compared with the earlier solution
|
|
- `src/` package with one function per step instead of one class with `sleep`.
|
|
- Explicit waits instead of fixed sleeps; locators in one module.
|
|
- Facebook login (as the lecture asks) instead of Google; settings via a
|
|
`Settings` dataclass; unit tests with a fake driver.
|
|
- No `from constants import *`, no HTML dumps, no profile path with `os.getcwd`.
