NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"name","selector":"btnk"}

from selenium import webdriver
import time
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

driver = webdriver.Chrome(r"C:\Users\m\Desktop\python\selen\chromedriver.exe")
driver.set_page_load_timeout(10)
driver.get("https://google.com")
driver.find_element_by_name("q").send_keys("Automation")
driver.find_element_by_name("btnk").send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
time.sleep(4)
driver.quit()

I am trying this simple code to open google, search something with the above code. But I get this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Solution

  • That should be solved your problem : 

    from selenium import webdriver
import time
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

driver = webdriver.Chrome("/usr/bin/chromedriver")
driver.set_page_load_timeout(10)
driver.get("https://google.com")
search = driver.find_element_by_name('q')
search.send_keys("google search through python")
search.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

time.sleep(4)
driver.quit()

    I tested in Ubuntu + chrome browser

    Replace your code 

    driver.find_element_by_name("q").send_keys("Automation")
driver.find_element_by_name("btnk").send_keys(Keys.ENTER)

    To =>

    search = driver.find_element_by_name('q')
search.send_keys("google search through python")
search.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
