login fails, but active sessions are created on fb account

See original GitHub issue

Description of the problem

Sorry about posting another login issue, but I can’t seem to login even though the username and password are definitely correct, especially since I can see all 5 active sessions documented when I take a look at my FB profile.

I am not sure what’s causing “home” to not be part of the url after getting /login/save-device/cancel/. Traceback is below:

Code to reproduce

#!/usr/bin/env python3

from fbchat import Client
import getpass
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
client = Client("<email>", getpass.getpass(prompt="Password: "))

Traceback

As @kapi2289 noted, the suggested fix was a rather temporary solution. I’ve fixed this properly in efc8776e709c960d27598a8443d4d479425c6984, by simply just adding an extra check for whether the URL was /.

Thanks for the detailed report, and for your patience, I’ve been on holiday for the past few weeks 😉

Coolkit-carl, in _state.py (line 134) add in if ‘or True’ That will solve the problem
