Selenium WebDriver.wait does not wait Python

Question

I want to have Selenium wait until a webpage is loaded. I use Safari 14.1.2 on macOS 10.15.7

So I tried as below:

// login process and it successes and the following page shows up login_submit.click() // the page after the authorization, make selenium wait until ```hoge``` is clickable WebDriverWait(browser, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'hoge')))

This code does not work as expected. It fails with an error selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchFrameException:. The error comes immediately, which seems there is no 10 s wait.

The stack trace is as below: (Paths are modified.)

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/login.py", line 99, in <module> login_schedule().quit() File "/login.py", line 67, in login_schedule wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, 'HOGEHOGE'))) File "/selenium/webdriver/support/wait.py", line 71, in until value = method(self._driver) File "/selenium/webdriver/support/expected_conditions.py", line 64, in __call__ return _find_element(driver, self.locator) File "/selenium/webdriver/support/expected_conditions.py", line 415, in _find_element raise e File "/selenium/webdriver/support/expected_conditions.py", line 411, in _find_element return driver.find_element(*by) File "/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 976, in find_element return self.execute(Command.FIND_ELEMENT, { File "/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 321, in execute self.error_handler.check_response(response) File "/selenium/webdriver/remote/errorhandler.py", line 242, in check_response raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace) selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchFrameException: Message:

When I put time.sleep(10) instead as below,

import time // login process and it successes and the following page shows up login_submit.click() time.sleep(10) // the page after the authorization, make selenium wait until ```hoge``` is clickable WebDriverWait(browser, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'hoge')))

it works as expected. Note that the last part can even be replaced

browser.find_element_by_xpath("//select[@id='hoge']")

What is wrong with my Python code?

Are you sure there's no frame ? Also, can you try this visibility_of_element_located like this : WebDriverWait(browser, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, 'hoge'))).click() — cruisepandey

Actually I am not sure... However as I wrote, it works(without no frame exception) after 10 sec wait.. and I tried visibility, the result is almost same as the previous one. — kensuke1984

hmm.. as mentioned Safari has bugs, you can switch to chrome or gecko — cruisepandey

Probably, it is the best choice.. fortunately no constraint about browsers.. Thank you very much! — kensuke1984

try to use this function to wait until the element or something appears:

def wait_for(xpath): while True: try: driver.find_element_by_xpath(xpath) return True except NoSuchElementException: continue

do not forget

from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException

you can use anything it is not important to be XPATH as a method.
