Selenium Common Exceptions


When you work with Selenium you willencounter many exceptions. Solving of those exceptions would be sometimes very tricky but If you read the exception the answer to solving is in the meaning of Exception name. We will be going through some most commonly used Exception in Selenium.
  • NoSuchAttributeException find_element_by_* can’t find the element.
  • NoSuchElementException find_element_by_* can’t find the element.
  • InvalidSelectorException Thrown when the selector which is used to find an element does not return a WebElement. Currently, this only happens when the selector is an XPath expression is used which is either syntactically invalid (i.e. it is not an XPath expression) or the expression does not select WebElements.
  • ElementNotVisibleException Thrown to indicate that although an element is present on the DOM, it is not visible, and so is not able to be interacted with.
