please help I stuck here for 2 days. it is saying Message:

no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//yt-formatted-string[contains(text(), 'username1')]"}

CodePudding user response：

If you see the below error

no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//yt-formatted-string[contains(text(), 'username1')]"}

It is clear that the variable you are passing to the xpath it is treating as a string not argument.

Use python format() function to pass the variable.

switch = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//yt-formatted-string[contains(text(), '{}')]".format(username1))
switch.click()
