Selenium 中的 selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException

Question

I am trying to make Selenium automatically open a webpage in Chrome. This is my code...

from selenium import webdriver


driver = webdriver.Chrome()


driver.get("https://www.python.org/")


element = driver.find_element_by_link_text("q")


print(element.click())

This is the error...

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException

Pls help.

Answer 1

I see there are 2 problems here:

1. You have to add delay before element = driver.find_element_by_link_text("q") to let the page load.
   Preferably you should use visibility_of_element_located expected condition for this.
2. I see no element with link text equals to q there

Answer 2

The answer @Xman is simple.

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException   

error means that the element is wrong/doesn't exist.

element = driver.find_element_by_link_text("q")

maybe there is no element called "q". Do check it again and then enter the element. Hope this helped:)
