I'm trying to get image links from my website, it has around 40 images and I'm using driver.find_elements_by_css_selector to get all the images to a list.

When I loop through this list and print id of these images, for the first 15 images it's working fine everything after that it throwing StaleElementReferenceException

I'm using WebDriverWait(driver, delay).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, 'image-list'))) for loading my image gallery.

How I can fix this StaleElementReferenceException

Thanks.

I believe the container holding the images loading them dynamically, so you have to use the below logic.

# load the images in the dynamic list container driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//*[@id='image-list']//img)[last()]").location_once_scrolled_into_view time.sleep(1) driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//*[@id='image-list']//img)[last()]").location_once_scrolled_into_view time.sleep(1) #get number of images images = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[@id='image-list']//img") # use the for loop for imageNum in range(len(images)): # access the image here image = driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//*[@id='image-list']//img[)" + str(imageNum+1) + "]") # now you can use the image element (first scroll to element) image.location_once_scrolled_into_view # get the image link here print(image.get_attribute('src'))
