Login Button Xpath not found

[Tmdoofking]

Can you add some more detail to this can you add:

• A copy of the comment above this block of code
• The module this is from

The problem may be due to slow internet connection you could fix this by:

• Adding a sleep command or increasing the time from one that may already be there
• Create a loop that checks for the element before

If the problem is internet connection I will add a Check for the element soon.

Hi, it seems that the issue was the xpath of the login button switched between two different values seemingly at random the code for the fix is below and will also be commited to the main project files,

# Clicks login button
    while True:
        try:
            driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '/html/body/div[1]/div/div[2]/nav/div/div[3]/div[2]/div/div[1]/div[1]/button')
            login_xpath = '/html/body/div[1]/div/div[2]/nav/div/div[3]/div[2]/div/div[1]/div[1]/button'
            break
        except:
            try:
                driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '/html/body/div[1]/div/div[2]/nav/div/div[3]/div[3]/div/div[1]/div[1]/button')
                login_xpath = '/html/body/div[1]/div/div[2]/nav/div/div[3]/div[3]/div/div[1]/div[1]/button'
                break
            except:
                sleep(1)

    driver.find_element(By.XPATH, login_xpath).click()

If this fixes your problem please close the issue.

(i don't know how force finish it and restart from top)

To close the current firefox instance run

driver.quit()
return None

Just in case you want to modify the project and need to.
