Answer 1

It maybe in this code that have error:

def findProduct(item):
  container = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="container"]').find_elements_by_class_name('inner-article')
  for article in container:
      if article.find_element_by_class_name("product-name").find_element_by_class_name("name-link").text == item.product and article.find_element_by_class_name("product-style").find_element_by_class_name("name-link").text == item.color:
          return(article.find_element_by_class_name("product-name").find_element_by_class_name("name-link").get_attribute("href"))

the code does not have a fallback when it did not satisfy the condition in for loop
