Errors when using Selenium in Python when searching for an element by class name, what's wrong?

Question

Python

Elementary search in HTML element page

# импорт библиотек

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://www.pochta.ru/tracking#30000052425166')
x_path = "//*[@class='TrackingCardHistory__Layout-sc-zdvopc-0 enJRDv']"
element  = driver.find_element(By.XPATH,  x_path)
# Поиск тегов по имени
print(element.text())

Gives a bunch of errors, and in service modules...

What's wrong?

Answer 1

You have a clear mistake
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException
. Better wrap everything in a try.

from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException

try:
     element  = driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME,  class_name)
     print(element.text)
except NoSuchElementException:
     print('Элемент не найден')
