Python Selenium, Error with find_element_by() command

I don't know the reason for this error, for some reason the find_element_by_() commands are not being recognized, I've already tried to reinstall everything, I changed the Python version, nothing works, does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Error: Unresolved attribute reference 'find_element_by_name' for class 'WebDriver

Solution

  • find_element_by_* methods are now deprecated.
    find_element(By. are used now.
    So, instead of find_element_by_name it is a driver.find_element(By.NAME, "name_attribute") now.
    Similarly driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "element_xpath_locator") etc.
    To use these methods you will need the following import:

    from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
