Selenium NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element

[voidbydefault]

Hi, I am stuck on this issue:

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":".jobs-search-results"}

I thought the page is loading too fast hence adding a delay may help so I added 'driver.implicitly_wait(10)' in:

def init_browser():
    browser_options = Options()
    options = ['--disable-blink-features', '--no-sandbox', '--start-maximized', '--disable-extensions',
               '--ignore-certificate-errors', '--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled']

    for option in options:
        browser_options.add_argument(option)

    #driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install(), chrome_options=browser_options)
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()), options=browser_options)

    driver.set_window_position(0, 0)
    driver.maximize_window()
    #added delay to avoid 'method' not found error
    driver.implicitly_wait(10)

    return driver

Unfortunately, it didn't help. Any ideas? Thanks.

Small update. I tried same config.yaml on another account (only difference is email and password, rest of the config remained same), and the bot was working fine. When I revert back to the first account -- again same config.yaml except email/password, it started to throw exceptions as follows (copying all output). Both accounts are working normally with easy apply working.

I found that jobs-search-results is not a class on the jobs page anymore, at least not for me. I had to change it to jobs-search-results-list. However, I am still having an issue where I see it scrolling down the jobs listings, but does not apply to any.

I had to make multiple changes between lines 125-129 such as for class names as follows to now have it applying to jobs, albeit very slowly:

    try:
        job_results = self.browser.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, "jobs-search-results-list")
        self.scroll_slow(job_results)
        self.scroll_slow(job_results, step=300, reverse=True)

        job_list = self.browser.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, 'scaffold-layout__list-container')[0].find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, 'jobs-search-results__list-item')

does this still work?

to answer my question yes

The above code does not work anymore.
