I'm trying intentionally to locate wrong element so that I can call TimeoutException, and then call the function again, but instead I see the error stacktrace and it doesn't work.
Code:
def open_browser_func():
global driver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=ser)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
driver.get("https://twitter.com/i/flow/login")
print("Opening login page")
try:
def sign_in_acc():
loginuser = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.NAME, "textt")))
loginuser.send_keys("Username", Keys.RETURN)
sign_in_acc_timer = threading.Timer(5, sign_in_acc)
sign_in_acc_timer.start()
except TimeoutException:
print("Username input crashed. Retrying now...")
def retry_sign_in():
driver.quit()
return open_browser_func()
retrytimer = threading.Timer(5, retry_sign_in)
retrytimer.start()
return driver
Error:

All I see is the TimeoutException in log, but not what I intend to call to handle it. What seems to be wrong?
CodePudding user response:
You are waiting for element in different thread. As soon as you call sign_in_acc_timer.start()
you start parallel thread where waiting is being executed and your open_browser_func()
finishes. If you want to catch exceptions in child thread it is probably worth reading Catch a thread's exception in the caller thread?
