Python Code to add songs to a Spotify playlist using Selenium

Question

After logging in, my program starts looping over a list of songs to add them to my Spotify Playlist. But after the first loop, it raises the "stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document" exception. Link I'm working on

driver=webdriver.Chrome()
driver.maximize_window()
actionChain = ActionChains(driver)
driver.get('https://open.spotify.com/browse/featured')
#Login Procedure
psw=''
login=driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[2]").click()
sleep(1)
email=driver.find_element_by_id('login-username').send_keys('abc@yahoo.com')
password=driver.find_element_by_id('login-password').send_keys(psw)
login=driver.find_element_by_id('login-button').click() 

ignored_exceptions=(StaleElementReferenceException,NoSuchElementException)

def wdwfind(path):
    return WebDriverWait(driver, 15,ignored_exceptions=ignored_exceptions).until(
            EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH,(path))))

def wdwclick(path):
    return WebDriverWait(driver, 15,ignored_exceptions=ignored_exceptions).until(
            EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,(path))))


for n in range(len(songs)):
    wdwfind("//li[2]/div/a/div/span").click() #going to search tab
    wdwfind("//input").send_keys(songs[n]) #sending elements to navigation bar
    gotosong=wdwclick("//a[@class='d9eb38f5d59f5fabd8ed07639aa3ab77-scss _59c935afb8f0130a69a7b07e50bac04b-scss']") #right clicking the name of the song
    actionChain.context_click(gotosong).perform()
    wdwfind("//nav/div[4]").click() #Selecting the add to playlist option
    wdwfind("//div[@class='mo-coverArt-hoverContainer']").click() #clicking on the playlist to add the song to
    sleep(2) 
    clear=wdwclick("//input[@class='_2f8ed265fb69fb70c0c9afef329ae0b6-scss']").send_keys(Keys.SHIFT,Keys.ARROW_UP) #clearing the search box
    driver.refresh()
    sleep(1)

Answer 1

I have investigated reason behind your issue. please find solution if you are trying to add songs in playlist. You are facing above issue due to the dynamic elements in the DOM. Also after running below code I am getting membership window so cant proceed further.
