Selenium Python: Why am I getting this no attribute error?-CodePudding

This is the error that is returned in my console:

AttributeError: 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'find_element_by_link_text'

When I look at the source code of the site I am using, the link I want is inside of this iframe, although I can clearly see the link and iframe tag are not on separate source pages, so I assume they are actually on the same code. I tried to remove the iframe line but it still didn't work. Am I missing something maybe an import I'm not aware of?

I had to xxx out some of my info here for privacy purposes.

` from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://webaddress.com")

assert "xxx" in driver.title

elem = driver.find_element(By.NAME, "email")
elem.clear()
elem.send_keys("[email protected]")

elem = driver.find_element(By.NAME, "password")
elem.clear()
elem.send_keys("youvegotma!1")

elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

driver.get("https://webaddress.com/page2")

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 30)
element = wait.until(EC.title_contains("xxxx"))

assert "xxxx" in driver.title

driver.switch_to.frame("IFramePanelNameHere")
driver.find_element_by_link_text("the link text goes here").Click()

CodePudding user response：

Looks like you are using Selenium 4.
Selenium 4 does not support find_element_by_link_text as well as any other find_element_by_* methods.
A new syntax should be used, as following:

driver.find_element(By.LINK_TEXT, "the link text goes here").click()

In the same manner it will be

driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "the xpath expression").click()

and

driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "the css selector expression").click()

etc.
Also, the click() method is lowercased, not Click()
