SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[windows11]

Hello guys, I dont understand why this is not working.

If I use this, works

	
def my_function(i):
	while i<a:
		print(f[i])
		i=i+1
		pass


	pass

my_function(0)

And if I use this is not working

def init_driver():
	driver=webdriver.Firefox(executable_path="C:\\Users\\Sabrina\\Desktop\\geckodriver-v0.26.0-win64\\geckodriver.exe")
	driver.wait=WebDriverWait(driver, 5)
	driver.get("www link")
	return driver


def my_function(i,driver):
	while i<a:
		element=driver.wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH,f[i]))
		driver.find_element_by_xpath(f[i]).click()
        ^ 
        SyntaxError: invalid syntax 


		element1=driver.wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH,g[i])))
		driver.find_element_by_xpath(g[i]).click()
		import time
		time.sleep(2)
		driver.back()
		print(f[i])
		i=i+1
		pass

	pass




driver=init_driver()
my_function(0,driver)   

The erro is in the line: driver.find_element_by_xpath(f[i]).click()

Even your first example doesn't work - a and f aren't declared anywhere (which is the same for your second example). Please provide a complete, runnable example.

Also, what's with the pass statements? They seem unnecessary.

You are right I have to past everything

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException


a=0
f1="xpathID1"
f2="xpathID2"
f3="xpathID3"....

f=[f1,f2,f3...]

g1="xpathID1.1"
g2="xpathID2.1"
g3="xpathID3.1"....

g=[g1,g2,g3...]

def init_driver():
    driver=webdriver.Firefox(executable_path="C:\\Users\\Sabrina\\Desktop\\geckodriver-v0.26.0-win64\\geckodriver.exe")
    driver.wait=WebDriverWait(driver, 5)
    driver.get("www link")
    return driver
 
 
def my_function(i,driver):
    while i<a:
        element=driver.wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH,f[i]))
        driver.find_element_by_xpath(f[i]).click()
        ^ 
        SyntaxError: invalid syntax 
 
 
        element1=driver.wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH,g[i])))
        driver.find_element_by_xpath(g[i]).click()
        import time
        time.sleep(2)
        driver.back()
        i=i+1
        pass
 
    pass


try:
    c1=driver.find_element_by_xpath("xpathID1")
    a=a+1
    c2=driver.find_element_by_xpath("xpathID2")
    a=a+1
    c3=driver.find_element_by_xpath("xpathID3")
    a=a+1...
except NoSuchElementException as e:
	print("no more")



driver=init_driver()
my_function(0,driver)   

this is the code
and the erro is in :driver.find_element_by_xpath(f[i]).click()
inside in the: def my_function(i,driver):

And your question about : pass
I dont know why I have, actually I dont now what mean, I think phyton made when I create the def and while.

on line 10 (in the first) / line 29 (in the second example) you have missing closing bracket.

probably your IDE is creating a placeholder block for your function, i.e.

def foo():
    pass

is a valid function and it will not raise error. You are supposed to replace pass with actual code of the function when you are ready. The idea is you can crate a "dummy" function and later on you actually implement it.

Thanks a lot
