Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\pythonProject\webscraping.py", line 17, in <module> search.send_keys(Keys.RETURN) Error python

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:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Here is the code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import time
service=Service("C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service)
driver.get("https://www.techwithtim.net/")
print(driver.title)
search = driver.find_element(By.NAME, 's')
search.send_keys("test")
search.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
driver.quit()

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.

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

Selenium except NoSuchElementException not working in my python script [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
Selenium "selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException" when using Chrome
(1 answer)
Closed 3 years ago.
I have a very simple code where I am looking for a class and when that class doesn't exist I want to catch that and update a status in my CSV. I am implementing this like:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
import time
invalid = browser.find_element_by_class_name('_3lLzD')
try:
Update status
except NoSuchElementException as e:
Update Status
It still throws me the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/Krenovate/Desktop/automate/automate/automate.py", line 35, in <module>

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: Unable to locate element: ._3lLzD
What am I doing wrong

Per the documentation, the locator function is designed to throw an exception if it is not found. Therefore, the exception that you get is well within the expected behavior.
If you are unsure of the presence of the element, the easiest way is to place it within a try block
try:
invalid = browser.find_element_by_class_name('_3lLzD')
Update status
except NoSuchElementException as e:
Update Status
or use explicit waits with a timeout.

CLOSED - Python Selenium Can't find elements

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):
File "C:/Users/Carlo/Desktop/CEx/src/IE.py", line 12, in
a=driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id='un']")
File "C:\Python35-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 293, in find_element_by_xpath
return self.find_element(by=By.XPATH, value=xpath)

raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
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");

Issue with selenium-python on Firefox

I am new to Selenium and am following the website http://selenium-python.readthedocs.org/
I tried the following bit of code which is there on the website
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://www.python.org")
assert "Python" in driver.title
elem = driver.find_element_by_name("q")
elem.send_keys("pycon")
elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
assert "No results found." not in driver.page_source
driver.close()
When I run this program, a Firefox instance opens but never loads the page. check snapshot
This is what I have received in the output console
C:\Users\Gauss\Desktop>python test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 4, in <module>

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Can't load the profile. Profile Dir: C:\Users\Gauss\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpkpjhnhpb If you specified a log_file in the FirefoxBinary constructor, check it for details.
Could someone please suggest a solution to this issue?
Note: This issue is on my office pc and the same code works fine on my home pc. So some issue with Firefox maybe.

Based on your comments, it looks like the version of Firefox you have is not yet supported by python driver. Currently they support up to v. 38, you have 44.
