I'm trying with the try except way, I want the pass to pass when there is no item, but instead of passing the pass gives an error

Python

try:
                scamframe = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//iframe[@id='scmframe']")))
                driver.switch_to.frame(scamframe)
                contentfra = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, "content")))
                driver.switch_to.frame(contentfra)
                commentframe = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, "search-editor")))
                driver.switch_to.frame(commentframe)

                wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '/html/body/div[1]/c-wiz/div/div/c-wiz/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/div[2]/textarea'))).send_keys("New Search")
                element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "/html[1]/body[1]/div[1]/c-wiz[1]/div[1]/div[1]/c-wiz[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[3]/div[1]/div[1]/span[1]/span[1]")))
                driver.execute_script("arguments[0].innerText = 'kSalih001'", element)
                WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//span[contains(text(),"kSalih001")]'))).click()
            except NoSuchElementException:
                try:
                    link = WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH,"//a[@id='search-editor-src']")))
                    print(link.get_attribute('href'))
                    driver.get(link.get_attribute('href'))
                except NoSuchElementException:
                    pass
                    print('Element Not Found!')
                    driver.quit()
                    os._exit(0)

What I have tried:

Python

try:
print("item found")
except NoSuchElementException:
print("item not found")
pass

"but instead of passing the pass gives an error"
What error?

kSalih54 15-Nov-22 4:50am

commentframe = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, "search-editor")))

this element not found error

It gives an error before reaching the transition part and the process ends

Richard MacCutchan 15-Nov-22 4:52am

I say again, what error? If you do not tell us what the actual error is, then how do you expect us to help you?

:sigh: ??

If the program does not find the element in the try, it should pass, but instead of passing, it gives an error. I want it to pass without error

Richard MacCutchan 15-Nov-22 5:23am

Then tell us what the error is!

kSalih54 15-Nov-22 5:41am

Element not found error, not executing below code

Please stop paraphrasing what you see. Use copy and paste to copy all the error details from your screen into this forum.

The error translates as "Handler is invalid", which unfortunately does not mean anything useful. I suspect you need to go back to the WebDriver | Selenium[^] website, and try their support forum.

kSalih54 15-Nov-22 6:28am

thanks a lot so how else can i check if the element exists

Richard MacCutchan 15-Nov-22 6:33am

Sorry, I don't know. You need to check the selenium documentation.

Well, thank you very much, I want to ask how can I accept the answer you gave above as an answer and make the question resolved

Richard MacCutchan 15-Nov-22 6:59am

Salih bey, you cannot accept comments as answers. But there is no need since we did not really solve it.
