Unable to locate element

[saurabh0719]

Hi,

I was trying to use your project but I ran into some errors. It is not able to locate the user with the title attribute of the span tag. I'm new to selenium so, any idea why this is happening?

Below is a snippet from the terminal output

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "whatsapp.py", line 19, in <module>
    user = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//span[@title = "{}"]'.format(name))
  File "D:\somepythonscripts\selenium\dev-env\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 394, in find_element_by_xpath
    return self.find_element(by=By.XPATH, value=xpath)
  File "D:\somepythonscripts\selenium\dev-env\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 976, in find_element
    return self.execute(Command.FIND_ELEMENT, {
  File "D:\somepythonscripts\selenium\dev-env\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 321, in execute
    self.error_handler.check_response(response)
