Selenium2+python Automation 57-catch Exception (nosuchelementexception)

Objective

When locating elements, often encounter various anomalies, why these anomalies occur, and how to deal with the exception?

This article learns the cause of the anomaly by learning Selenium's exceptions module.

First, an exception occurred

1. Open the Blog home page, locate the "new essay" element, this element id= "blog_nav_newpost"

2. To deliberately let it fail, I add xx after the element attribute

3. After a run failure as shown, the program is interrupted on this line of the lookup element and will not continue to execute the Click event.

Second, catch the exception

1. In order for the program to continue to execute, we can use try...except ... Catches an exception. The exception can be printed out after catching the exception, so that the cause of the exception is analyzed

2. As can be seen from the following anomalies, the cause of the exception is: nosuchelementexception

Selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException:Message:Unable to locate element: {"method": "id", "selector": " Blog_nav_newpostxx "}

3. Import Nosuchelementexception class from Selenium.common.exceptions

Third, the reference code:

# Coding:utf-8
From selenium import Webdriver
From selenium.common.exceptions import nosuchelementexception
Driver = Webdriver. Firefox ()
Driver.get ("http://www.cnblogs.com/yoyoketang/")
# Positioning homepage "new essay"
Try
element = Driver.find_element ("id", "blog_nav_newpostxx")
Except Nosuchelementexception as msg:
Print U "Find element exception%s"%msg

# click on the element # Chat QQ Group: 232607095
Else
Element.click ()

Iv. common anomalies of selenium

1.NoSuchElementException: no element found

2.NoSuchFrameException: no IFrame found

3.NoSuchWindowException: Window handle not found handle

4.NoSuchAttributeException: Property Error

5.NoAlertPresentException: No alert pop-up box found

6.lementNotVisibleException: Element not visible

7.ElementNotSelectableException: Element not selected

8.TimeoutException: Find element timeout

V. Other anomalies and source code
