bypassing find element click() - windows11 - Apr-02-2020
Hello guys, I dont know why but sometimes the click() do not work
a=11
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()
--->driver.wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH,"xpath4")))
driver.find_element_by_xpath("xpath4").click()
import time
time.sleep(2)
driver.back()
i=i+1
import time
time.sleep(3)
pass
passThe loop, number 1,2,3 is good, and in the 4 have a error, it say: raise TimeoutException(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.TimeoutException: Message:
He find the f[i], and looks he is bypssing the
driver.find_element_by_xpath(f[4]).click()
because the error is in
driver.wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH,"xpath4")))
and of course he eill not find the xpath4 because he dont open the element f[4].
You now why he is bypassing, or another way more efficient to open a element?

It's probably not finding the element 'xpath4'
