Selenium just removed that method in version 4.3.0. See the CHANGES:
Selenium 4.3.0 * Deprecated find_element_by_* and find_elements_by_* are now removed (#10712) * Deprecated Opera support has been removed (#10630) * Fully upgraded from python 2x to 3.7 syntax and features (#10647) * Added a devtools version fallback mechanism to look for an older version when mismatch occurs (#10749) * Better support for co-operative multi inheritance by utilising super() throughout * Improved type hints throughout You now need to use:
driver.find_element("xpath", '//*[@id="mG61Hd"]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div/div[1]/div/div[1]/input') In your example, you would use:
last = test.find_element("xpath", '//*[@id="mG61Hd"]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div/div[1]/div/div[1]/input') For improved reliability, you should consider using WebDriverWait in combination with element_to_be_clickable.
You can now use:
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By driver.find_element(by=By.XPATH, value='//<your xpath>') As per the changelogs of Selenium 4.3.0:
Selenium 4.3.0 * Deprecated find_element_by_* and find_elements_by_* are now removed (#10712) and as per the merge the 16 replaced strings are as follows:
.find_element_by_class_name( .find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, .find_element_by_css_selector( .find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, .find_element_by_id( .find_element(By.ID, .find_element_by_link_text( .find_element(By.LINK_TEXT, .find_element_by_name( .find_element(By.NAME, .find_element_by_partial_link_text( .find_element(By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, .find_element_by_tag_name( .find_element(By.TAG_NAME, .find_element_by_xpath( .find_element(By.XPATH, .find_elements_by_class_name( .find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, .find_elements_by_css_selector( .find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, .find_elements_by_id( .find_elements(By.ID, .find_elements_by_link_text( .find_elements(By.LINK_TEXT, .find_elements_by_name( .find_elements(By.NAME, .find_elements_by_partial_link_text( .find_elements(By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, .find_elements_by_tag_name( .find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, .find_elements_by_xpath( .find_elements(By.XPATH, This usecase
So effectively you have to replace the line of code:
last = test.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="mG61Hd"]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div/div[1]/div/div[1]/input') as:
last = test.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[@id="mG61Hd"]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div/div[1]/div/div[1]/input') Note
You will also need to import By as follows:
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By e = driver.find_element(by.By.XPATH,'//label[@analytics-event="All matches"]') from selenium.webdriver.common import by
