Twitter Login Authentication Issue

[densmirnov]

Description

When attempting to run the bot using init_bot.sh, the Twitter login process fails with a TimeoutException. The error occurs when Selenium tries to locate the username input field on Twitter's login page.

Environment

• OS: Ubuntu/Linux
• Python: 3.11
• Project Version: Latest main branch

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set up environment variables in .env
2. Install dependencies using install_requirements.sh
3. Run init_bot.sh

Error Message

What I've Tried

1. Installed latest version of Chrome and chromedriver
2. Verified all environment variables are set correctly
3. Confirmed internet connectivity and access to Twitter

Possible Issues

1. Twitter's login page structure might have changed
2. Selenium might be detected as automated browser
3. Timing issues with page loading

Additional Context

This appears to be related to the Twitter authentication process in twitter_connector.py. The bot is unable to locate the username input field within the specified timeout period (10 seconds).

Suggested Fix

Consider:

1. Increasing the WebDriverWait timeout
2. Updating the XPath selectors for Twitter's current DOM structure
3. Adding additional anti-detection measures for Selenium
