When I run selenium, I sometimes get this depricationwarning which is really weird. The error message doesn't display alot of information about the warning. Is there a fix?
Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Use the newer one since driver.find_element_by is depreciated.
driver.find_element(By.ID,"nickname").send_keys(username+Keys.ENTER)
What I would recommended is using Webdriver waits if it's after page loading.
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID,"nickname"))).send_keys(username+Keys.ENTER)

I am following a tutorial of a video on youtube about selenium and I got to this point
This is my code and it works fine until it gives you this massive error of:

I've been getting the same error as well. There seems to be an issue with Chromedriver 103. Your options are to wait for the new version, or to download Chrome Beta and use Chromedriver 104 with it.
A lot of people have also said to downgrade and use 102 instead.
Here's a link to a thread where others have reported the same problem:
https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/10799
(//input[#name='s'])[2]
There's actually a second input with that value hidden use the above xpath.

selenium.common.exceptions.TimeoutException: Message:
...implies that the WebDriver variant was unable to locate the desired WebElement within the timeframe for which the WebDriverWait was constructed.
WebDriverWait
The WebDriverWait constructor takes a WebDriver instance as an argument and timeout in seconds.
Hence, irrespective of usage of either of the expected_conditions, WebDriverWait on failure will result in TimeoutException.
This usecase
In this usecase, the line:
EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'FavoriteApp_ITEM'))
was unable to identify the desired element within the desired time frame hence you faced TimeoutException.
However, from TimeoutException it will be tough to dig out the actual result of the failure.
Solution
As a solution to know about the exact cause of the failure, you need to remove the WebDriverWait and replace the line of code with either:
find_element_by_class_name(name)
find_element_by_css_selector(css_selector)
find_element_by_id(id)
find_element_by_link_text(link_text)
find_element_by_name(name)
find_element_by_partial_link_text(partial_link_text)
find_element_by_tag_name(tag_name)
find_element_by_xpath(xpath)
If required you can slow down the search inducing waits through time.sleep(secs) while debugging.

What can I do? Any help is much appreciated!
If you are using firefox ver >47.0.1 you need to have the [geckodriver][1] executable in your system path. For earlier versions you want to turn marionette off. You can to so like this:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX.copy()
capabilities['marionette'] = False
driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=capabilities)
I'm currently in CH11 from the "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" book and I'm going over the Selenium module. I'm trying to move to the end of a page but I'm getting some problems. I also tried to look similar problems in this site and tried the solutions suggested without success unfortunately. Here's my code, when I type it into the IDLE Shell:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
browser= webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://nostarch.com')
htmlElem= browser.find_element_by_tag_name('html')
type(htmlElem)
<class 'selenium.webdriver.firefox.webelement.FirefoxWebElement'>
htmlElem.send_keys(Keys.END) # Error
Exception -:
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotVisibleException: Message: Element is not visible
Apparently the html element is not visible? I don't understand how so since it seems to locates the html element just fine as seen on the code without any problems but the Key.ENTER is where I'm getting the error.
Any help would be appreciated.
Just tested the following with Chrome driver and it works (It should also work with Firefox):
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
browser = webdriver.Chrome()
browser.get('http://nostarch.com')
body_elem = browser.find_element_by_tag_name('body')
body_elem.send_keys(Keys.END)
