Selenium WebDriver Unable To Find Element By Id, Using Python

I'm trying to pull up an element that only gets created after the JavaScript runs, but I keep getting the following error message: selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException

Solution 1:

The element you are looking for is inside an iframe.

The following did the trick for me:

from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait

# ...

frame = WebDriverWait(browser, 30).until(lambda x: x.find_element_by_id("dsq1"))
browser.switch_to_frame(frame)
result = WebDriverWait(browser, 30).until( lambda x: x.find_element_by_id("post-count"))

Note that I included the use of WebDriverWait(...).until(...) to allow the elements to be created dynamically just in case.

Solution 2:

You can tell the WebDriver to wait implicitly until the element is visible.

browser.implicitly_wait(30)
result = browser.find_element_by_id("post-count")
