Username field error: Error: No element found for selector: button[type='submit']

Here's my code

import SnapBot from "./snapbot.js";


const bot = new SnapBot();

let credentials = {
  username: "myUsername",
  password: "myPassword",
};

await bot.launchSnapchat({
  headless: false,
  userDataDir: "C:\\Users\\yourname\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Default",
  args: [
    "--start-maximized",
    "--force-device-scale-factor=1",
    "--use-fake-ui-for-media-stream",
    "--allow-file-access-from-files",
    "--enable-media-stream",
  ],
});



await bot.login(credentials);


const logged = await bot.isLogged()  //returns a boolean
  if (!logged) {
    await bot.login(credentials);
  } else {
    console.log("bot is already logged");
  }



const recipients = await bot.listRecipients();
console.log(recipients);

And I got this error in the terminal :
`➜ SnapBot git:(main) ✗ npm run bot

snapbot@1.0.0 bot
node index.js

Try using the Enter key as a fallback

const submitBtn = await this.page.$('button[type="submit"]');
if (submitBtn) {
  await submitBtn.click();
  console.log("Clicked submit button for username.");
} else {
  await this.page.keyboard.press("Enter");
  console.log("Pressed Enter to submit username.");
}

This might interest you: #3

const submitBtn = await this.page.$('button[type="submit"]');
if (submitBtn) {
await submitBtn.click();
console.log("Clicked submit button for username.");
} else {
await this.page.keyboard.press("Enter");
console.log("Pressed Enter to submit username.");
}

Where I put this lines ?
I put it in snapbot.js but now I have to put me email manually

Va voir mon fork ça devrait marcher : https://github.com/0xF9M/SnapBot
