What does Backtrace: Ordinal0 [0x00FE6463 2188387] in stack trace error means while using Selenium a-CodePudding

Starting to code, so everything is new to me. Been Trying to get this code to work but keep running into errors. I try adding some type of delay since i seen that it might that website doesn't load in time but that does not work.

Code:

import time
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver.get('https://www.youtube.com/')
time. sleep(5)
searchbox = driver.find_element("xpath", '//*[@id="search"]')
time. sleep(5)
searchbox.send_keys('Ludwig')

time. sleep(5)

searchButton = driver.find_element("xpath", '//*[@id="search-icon-legacy"]')
searchButton.click()

ERORR:

ANY HELP WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED

CodePudding user response：

There are 5 elements match your locator, and webdriver tries to send keys to the first one that is actually not interactable. Fix locator, replace:

searchbox = driver.find_element("xpath", '//*[@id="search"]')

with

searchbox = driver.find_element("xpath", '//input[@id="search"]')
