chromedriver = 'C:/dev_python/Webdriver/chromedriver.exe'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver, options=headlessoptions)

elem = driver.find_element_by_tag_name("h1")
print (elem.text)
    
driver.quit()

why error come?

Answer 1

Your line, elem = driver.find_element_by_tag_name("h1") , is going to cause an error because Selenium just removed that method in version 4.3.0 . See the CHANGES: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/a4995e2c096239b42c373f26498a6c9bb4f2b3e7/py/CHANGES

Selenium 4.3.0
* Deprecated find_element_by_* and find_elements_by_* are now removed (#10712)
* Deprecated Opera support has been removed (#10630)
* Fully upgraded from python 2x to 3.7 syntax and features (#10647)
* Added a devtools version fallback mechanism to look for an older version when mismatch occurs (#10749)
* Better support for co-operative multi inheritance by utilising super() throughout
* Improved type hints throughout

You now need to use the following in your example:

elem = driver.find_element("tag name", "h1")

For improved reliability, you should consider using WebDriverWait in combination with element_to_be_clickable .
