How do I resolve this error in Selenium : ERROR: Couldn't read tbsCertificate as SEQUENCE, ERROR: Failed parsing Certificate

I'm trying to execute a selenium program in Python to go to a new URL on click of a button in the current homepage. I'm new to selenium and any help regarding this would be appreciated. Here's my code
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
url = 'https://nmit.ac.in'
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get(url)
try:
# wait 10 seconds before looking for element
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
EC.presence_of_element_located(By.LINK_TEXT, "Parent Portal")
)
except:
print()
driver.find_element(By.LINK_TEXT, "Parent Portal").click()
I have tried to increase the wait time as well as using all forms of the supported located strategies under the BY keyword, but to no avail. I keep getting this error.

As far as I know, you shouldn't be worried by those errors. Although, I proved your code and it's not finding any element in the web page. I can recommend you use the xpath of the element you want to find:
# wait 10 seconds before looking for element
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "/html//div[#class='wsmenucontainer']//button[#href='https://nmitparents.contineo.in/']"))
)
element.click()
#wait for the new view to be loaded
time.sleep(10)
driver.quit()
Psdt: you can use the extention Ranorex Selocity to extract a good and unique xpath of any element in a webpage and also test it!!

Selenium does NOT do anything after getting rid of GDPR consent

It's my first time using Selenium and webscraping. I have been stuck with the annoying GDPR iframe. I am simply trying to go to a website, search something in the search bar and then click in one of the results. But it does not seem to do anything after I get rid of the GDPR consent.
Important, it does not give any errors.
This is my very simple code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
import time
#Web driver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://transfermarkt.co.uk/")
search = driver.find_element_by_name("query")
search.send_keys("Sevilla FC")
search.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.ID, "sp_message_iframe_382445")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[text()='ACCEPT ALL']"))).click()
try:
sevfclink = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "368")))
sevfclink.click()
except:
driver.quit()
time.sleep(5)
driver.quit()

Not sure where you get the iframe from but the id might be dynamic so try this.
driver.get("https://transfermarkt.co.uk/")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver,10)
search = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.NAME, "query")))
search.send_keys("Sevilla FC", Keys.RETURN)
wait.until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe[id^='sp_message_iframe']")))
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[text()='ACCEPT ALL']"))).click()
driver.switch_to.default_content()
try:
sevfclink = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "368")))
sevfclink.click()
except:
pass

It looks like the two lines starting WebDriverWait throw an error. If I skip those to the try statement you get the results of the search. A page that gives an overview of Sevilla FC shows up. I presume the WebDriverWait lines are there to make sure you wait for something, but from what I can tell they are unnecessary.

selenium chromedriver different values of xpath between terminal and actual driver

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
url = 'https://www.msha.gov/mine-data-retrieval-system'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='chromedriver')
driver.get(url)
#driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="mstr90"]/div[1]/div/div') error
#driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//input') gives 3 while in driver gives 10
I am unable to find element where the input "Search by Mine ID by typing here.." is, the document is fully loaded but it can't locate it. What I want to do is simply pass in an input "0100003" then submit

Iframe is present on your page. Before you interact with inputbox you need to switch on to iframee. Refer below code to resolve your issue.
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
driver.get("https://www.msha.gov/mine-data-retrieval-system")
driver.switch_to.frame("iframe1")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
inputBox = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[#class='mstrmojo-SimpleObjectInputBox-empty']"))).click()
inputBox1 = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[#class='mstrmojo-SimpleObjectInputBox-container mstrmojo-scrollNode']//input")))
inputBox1.send_keys("0100003")
Updated Code to handle dropdown
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div#mstr100,mstrmojo-Popup.mstrmojo.SearchBoxSelector-suggest"))).click()
Note: please add below imports to your solution
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
Output:

The element you are trying to find is inside an iframe, so you will need to switch to that iframe first and then do your find element. Also, it's a best practice to use waits to give pages/elements time to load before a find element timeouts and throws an error.
iframe = WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#iframe1')))
driver.switch_to.frame(iframe)
mine_id = WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="mstr90"]/div[1]/div/div')))
Then you need to click this element to make it interactable.
mine_id.click()
Once you click then you need to re-find the input box before sending keys.
mine_id_input = WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#mstr90 input')))
mine_id_input.send_keys('0100003')
To select the suggestion displayed:
suggestion = WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#mstr100')))
suggestion.click()
if you wanted to continue on interacting outside the iframe after this is done, you will want to switch back out of the iframe like this:
driver.switch_to.default_content()

Problem in finding the element using the xPath using selenium in python

I want to log-in the page and click the button which is located on top of the website but when i run code it says that element could not be found, below is my python code:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://go.xero.com/Dashboard")
user_name = driver.find_element_by_id("email")
user_name.send_keys("mnb#allied.ae")
password = driver.find_element_by_id("password")
password.send_keys()
Submit = driver.find_element_by_id("submitButton")
Submit.click()
CS = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[#class='xrh-appbutton--text']")
cs.click()
driver.quit()
below is the HTML source code:

Seems it requires some time to find the elements. To manage this you need to implement wait mechanism in your scripts. Use either implicit or explicit waits. refer this
Implicit Wait
driver.get("https://go.xero.com/Dashboard")
driver.implicitly_wait(15)
Explicit Wait
cs = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//span[#class='xrh-appbutton--text']")))
cs.click()
Need to import following packages for this -
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

Python 2.7 Selenium No Such Element on Website

I'm trying to do some webscraping from a betting website:
As part of the process, I have to click on the different buttons under the "Favourites" section on the left side to select different competitions.
Let's take the ENG Premier League button as example. I identified the button as:
(source: 666kb.com)
The XPath is: //*[#id="SportMenuF"]/div[3] and the ID is 91.
My code for clicking on the button is as follows:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
chrome_path = "C:\Python27\Scripts\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_path)
driver.get("URL Removed")
content = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="SportMenuF"]/div[3]')
content.click()
Unfortunately, I always get this error message when I run the script:
"no such element: Unable to locate element:
{"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[#id="SportMenuF"]/div[3]"}"
I have tried different identifiers such as CCS Selector, ID and, as shown in the example above, the Xpath. I tried using waits and explicit conditions, too. None of this has worked.
I also attempted scraping some values from the website without any success:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
chrome_path = "C:\Python27\Scripts\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_path)
driver.get("URL removed")
content = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('price-val')
for entry in content:
print entry.text
Same problem, nothing shows up.
The website embeddes an iframe from a different website. Could this be the cause of my problems? I tried scraping directly from the iframe URL, too, which didn't work, either.
I would appreciate any suggestions.

Sometimes elements are either hiding behind an iframe, or they haven't loaded yet
For the iframe check, try:
driver.switch_to.frame(0)
For the wait check, try:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '-put the x-path here-')))
