python - TimeoutException Traceback (most recent call last)

Question

I am using selenium to retrieve the SSIC description, based on the UEN of the company, and to print the results. I am however, receiving the following error message upon running the code:

TimeoutException                          Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-42-80250277515b> in <module>
     10     submit = d.find_element(By.ID, "pt1:r1:0:sv1:cb1")
     11     submit.click()
---> 12     ssic = WebDriverWait(d,10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".bizpara1 text_uppercase")))
     13 
     14     print(ssic)

Code that I'm using:

d = webdriver.Chrome()
search = ['199904446R', '200514781N', '198500528C']


for UEN in search: 
    d.get('https://www.tis.bizfile.gov.sg/ngbtisinternet/faces/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/pages/TransactionMain.jspx?selectedETransId=dirSearch')
    e = d.find_element(By.ID, "pt1:r1:0:sv1:it1::content")
    e.click()
    e.send_keys(UEN)
    submit = d.find_element(By.ID, "pt1:r1:0:sv1:cb1")
    submit.click()
    ssic = WebDriverWait(d,10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".bizpara1 text_uppercase")))

    print(ssic)

For the SSIC element, below is the span details:

''<div><span class='bizpara1 text_uppercase'>GENERAL CONTRACTORS (NON-BUILDING CONSTRUCTION)</span></div>''

Will greatly appreciate any help in rectifying the issue pls.

Answer 1

You have 4 issues there.

1. You should wait for input visibility as far as site is loaded async.
2. You locator is incorrect. It should be .bizpara1.text_uppercase if you are searching element by CSS_SELECTOR, your locator implementation is correct for searching by CLASS_NAME.
3. Actually, you are getting first element with this locator, when your ssid is last element from array. So you should use condition visibility_of_all_elements_located and get last element from array.
4. I guess, you need to print element text, and not element reference.

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
search = ['199904446R', '200514781N', '198500528C']

for UEN in search:
    driver.get('https://www.tis.bizfile.gov.sg/ngbtisinternet/faces/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/pages/TransactionMain.jspx?selectedETransId=dirSearch')
    uen_input = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, "pt1:r1:0:sv1:it1::content")))
    uen_input.click()
    uen_input.send_keys(UEN)
    submit = driver.find_element(By.ID, "pt1:r1:0:sv1:cb1")
    submit.click()
    ssic = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".bizpara1.text_uppercase")))[-1]

    print(ssic.text)
