Attribute error in python while trying to sign in

Question

I am using python (with selenium webdriver) to sign into yahoo.

Below is the code:

import unittest
from   selenium import webdriver
from   selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException

#Set Selenium firefox browser object
browser = webdriver.Firefox()

#Navigate to desired page
browser.get( 'https://www.yahoo.com/' )

try:
    element = browser.find_element_by_title( 'Sign In' )
except NoSuchElementException:
    self.fail( "found: %s" % 'Sign In' )

Below is the error I see:

element = browser.find_element_by_title( 'Sign In' ) 
AttributeError: 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'find_element_by_title'

Any suggestions how to fix this error?

Answer 1

Use find_element_by_link_text() instead:

element = browser.find_element_by_link_text('Sign In')

Demo:

>>> from selenium import webdriver
>>> browser = webdriver.Firefox()
>>> browser.get('https://www.yahoo.com/')
>>> element = browser.find_element_by_link_text('Sign In')
>>> element
<selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement object at 0x1087fc5d0>
