在 Try 块 WebDriverWait 中出现错误 - Python Selenium

Question

I'm trying a Try/Exception block that uses Selenium to make click in a web button. But even if I use a Try/Exception block, the code breaks inside the Try block. Part of the code is the following:

...
###### click left bar option
select_element(driver, By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a[id='mnu_Matrícula']")

###### click suboption
select_element(driver, By.XPATH, "//*[@id='2020']")
time.sleep(20)
            
try:
    # click new creation
   WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "/html/body/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[1]/div[1]/app-panel/div/div[2]/div/button"))).click()
    # select_element(driver, By.XPATH, "/html/body/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[1]/div[1]/app-panel/div/div[2]/div/button")
    time.sleep(10)
except:
    status = "ERROR"

...

The error I'm getting mentions:

Cell In[23], line 121
   119 try:
   120     # click new creation
--> 121     WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "/html/body/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[1]/div[1]/app-panel/div/div[2]/div/button"))).click()
   122     #select_element(driver, By.XPATH, "/html/body/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[1]/div[1]/app-panel/div/div[2]/div/button")

   raise TimeoutException(message, screen, stacktrace)

I also have to mention that I iterate this code many times, and this error happens once each N times, but I don't get why.

Thanks for your help.

I'm pretty sure you have to specify which Exception needs to occur for the except block to be utilized, as in:

try:
    # click new creation
   WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "/html/body/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[1]/div[1]/app-panel/div/div[2]/div/button"))).click()
    # select_element(driver, By.XPATH, "/html/body/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[1]/div[1]/app-panel/div/div[2]/div/button")
    time.sleep(10)
except TimeoutException:
    status = "ERROR"

Don't forget to import the Exception as well.
