This is a newly introduced Chromedriver bug.
Try using an older version of Chrome or another browser. I just tried your code in Firefox 73 and it worked.
Hope this helps and good luck!
the bug seems to still be in chromedriver.
it's related to switching to a new window or tab.
However, in the OP's post, I don't see how he created the 2nd tab. he just switches to the tab/window with this
driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[1])
It's possible the original problem here, was not creating the 2nd tab/window correctly.
Or it could be the existing chromedriver problem (which is intermittent/dependent on web page)
see here https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=3390
The exception I'm tracking (which the OP reported) is this
selenium.common.exceptions.InvalidArgumentException: Message: invalid argument: Unsupported locator strategy: null

I'm trying to click on "retweet" with selenium.
I found this way with javascript:
document.querySelector('[data-testid="retweet"]').click()
document.querySelector('[data-testid="retweetConfirm"]').click()
So I implemented in selenium with something like this:
firstJS = "document.querySelector('[data-testid=\"retweet\"]').click()"
secondJS ="document.querySelector('[data-testid=\"retweetConfirm\"]').click()"
time.sleep(5)
driver.execute_script(firstJS)
time.sleep(3)
driver.execute_script(secondJS)
and i get this error:

EDIT: I added some time.sleep() and the first line works, but not the second
This might be due to page loading try adding wait until page load.
I have the following line in my script code, where the XPath I got it from Selenium IDE that works fine:
driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//a[contains(#href, '')])[20]").click()
An automation test stops here with this error:

How to fix this issue?
Thanks for any help.
Seeing as you just want to scrape the data, I recommend you use this solution:
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//a[contains(#href, '')])[20]")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)
Which clicks the element via Javascript as opposed to a "natural" click that selenium uses (to try to simulate the user experience).
I answered a similar question here that links to another post on it as well.
Sometimes you may need to copy Full XPATH. That was one work around I found.
I would like to share my experience on that in case someone else had same scenario.
I received same error message "Message: element not interactable".
And after like two hours of troubleshooting it turned out that there was another hidden element identified by XPATH. So, I modified my XPATH to ensure capturing targeted element only.
I was able to fix this issue with using full Xpath instead of x path for anyone coming here in the future I hope this will help. I think the reason for this is the element I wanted to click was wrapped by another element so it was not interactable
I am using Selenium webdriver with firefox to download real states data from a website. Once the inputs are entered a pop up window will ask to either select 'Cancel' or 'Save File'.
The problem is that I'm not able to find how to 'click' these buttons. I know it is already the current window in my driver because I am able to change the enter image description here position.
If I dodriver.find_element_by_xpath('//*'), this is the error I get:

I've searched on the web for solutions and most of them mention switching to alert, driver.switch_to_alert().accept(). This is the error I'm getting:

NoAlertPresentException: No tab modal was open when attempting to get the dialog text
This issue is very similar to Not able to locate element on a modal pop up window : selenium, but I don't understand how the accepted answer there was able to find the selectors.
Any ideas how to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
I have a problem with selenium with python 3.5, after install all the windows updates all my selenium script broken, I receive every time the same error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchWindowException: Message: Unable to find element on closed window
But I really don't understand why because the window of IE is open!
This is my code (simple just to check why I can't make it work more):
import time from
selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Ie()
driver.get('http://gala.test-platform.celtrino.com/Login.aspx')
time.sleep(10)
driver.find_element_by_xpath(".//*[#id='un']")
The code fail every time in the last line and I double check with firepath and the xpath is correct so I don't really understand why it's not working.
I knew, IE has problems with xpath. It does not support xpath directly. It needs third party tools to do this. So, I suggest you to try cssSelector or any other options instead. Since, the element has an ID so you could use this. It's better.
driver.find_element_by_id("un");
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 -:

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)
