Multiple pixels with Conflicting version about facebook-token-generator

[moertel]

Thanks for reporting this, @pigalon! The Facebook Pixel Warning is just a warning and usually not a problem. I've just tested the image again locally and generating a token is working fine for me. Can you please double-check that the provided credentials in FB_USER_EMAIL and FB_USER_PASSWORD are correct?

Thx @moertel for your reply.
I've created a new FB application with latest 2.9 version of the graph API and I've made a basic configuration about pixel.
Now I get this :

[LOGIN]`

START: Logging into Facebook...
[LOGIN] |- Fill out form
[LOGIN] |- Submit form
[LOGIN] DONE.

[GENERATE TOKEN] Facebook Pixel Warning: Multiple pixels with conflicting versions were detected on this page
[GENERATE TOKEN] Facebook Pixel Warning: Multiple different pixels were detected on this page
[GENERATE TOKEN] START: Opening submenu...
[GENERATE TOKEN] ERROR: Something went wrong. Was not able to find the 'Get Token' button.
[ERROR HANDLER] START: Generating screenshot snapshotting the page at time of error...
[ERROR HANDLER] DONE: Screenshot '/token/generateTokenError.png' saved.
[ERROR HANDLER]
Exiting..

and the new generated png file is generated with the graph api token page and the token is empty.
Do I need a specific Fb app configuration parameter?

Thanks in advance,
Pierrick

Good news: With a brand new app I was able to reproduce the error you're seeing. The problem is that the script I wrote will not do the initial authorization for your app+user combination. To solve this, please log in with the FB account you want to use for automation and follow these steps:

• Visit https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/{YOUR_FB_CLIENT_ID}

• Click "Get Token"

• In the dropdown, click "Get User Access Token"

• In the popup, choose the scopes you need

• Click "Get Access Token"

• Now the OAuth screen opens and you need to confirm that the app may access your account:

  

You only need to do this once. Afterwards, you should be able to use the Docker image to generate tokens for you. I realise this is not made explicit anywhere; I'll add it to the README. My use case only ever was to automate for existing apps, so I never ran into this issue. Thanks for pointing it out and taking the time to report.

@pigalon: I worked on the code and improved the logging; please try again with image moertel/facebook-token-generator:1.1 and let me know if it works for you.

@moertel thanks for this new version.
I've tried with the following command : docker run -e FB_CLIENT_ID=xxx -e FB_CLIENT_SECRET=xxx -e FB_USER_EMAIL=[email protected] -e FB_USER_PASSWORD=xxx -v /Users/mypath/tokens/fb:/token -it moertel/facebook-token-generator:1.1

I got the same issue but in the captured image now there is a token. The size is truncated.

Thanks,
Pierrick

Ok I've understood,
I've just changed the language (was French for me) to english and the js script found the correct button now and I got the shortLivedAuthToken.txt file.
Thanks again for your support,

Pierrick

Glad it works now, Pierrick!

@pigalon FYI, I've exposed the button texts as environment variables now, so if you care about continuing to use Facebook in French, you should be able to do so, i.e. setting FB_BUTTON_TEXT_GETTOKEN="Obtenir le token" and so on:

@moertel it's perfect! I will test it.
Thanks again.
