AttributeError: 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'find_element_by_css_selector'

Chrome 103, is this a chrome driver problem?

Hey there, this typically happens when Tesla throws up a non-standard login page, such as one that includes a captcha. I'd shut it down, try it again in 10 minutes.

I tried waiting and clearing everything and still get this error. Seems to redirect from the driver.get link to this. Still same result.

Any ideas what might be happening? Tried with VPN as well, but no luck. I still can log in normally with no issues to the service manuals.

I stumble on the same error. Turns out, selenium removed the method find_elementby* starting version 4.3.0.

https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/trunk/py/CHANGES

Selenium 4.3.0
* Deprecated find_element_by_* and find_elements_by_* are now removed (#10712)
* Deprecated Opera support has been removed (#10630)
* Fully upgraded from python 2x to 3.7 syntax and features (#10647)
* Added a devtools version fallback mechanism to look for an older version when mismatch occurs (#10749)
* Better support for co-operative multi inheritance by utilising super() throughout
* Improved type hints throughout

I had to downgrade as a workaround :

First uninstall the current version pip uninstall selenium

Install the version 4.2.0 or older pip install selenium==4.2.0

Resolved with a reinstall of selenium 4.2.0
