I am trying to automatically login to the website https://opensource-demo.orangehrmlive.com/web/index.php/auth/login using selenium By it gives an error
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {“method”:”css selector”,”selector”:”[name=”username”]”}
My code :
import selenium from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
s = Service(“C:Developmentchromedriver.exe”)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=s)
driver.get(“https://opensource-demo.orangehrmlive.com/”)
username= driver.find_element(By.NAME,”username”)
username.send_keys(“Admin”)
I know it sounds simple but i tried different ways to find the element..still not working.

@Sravanthi Veera, It seems page is taking longer to load and hence find_element is fired before the page is loaded.
you can do the following:
username = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.NAME, 'username')))
#username= driver.find_element(By.NAME,"username") # commented as we are getting the element from above line.
username.send_keys("Admin")
you will have to import the following for it to work:
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
