StaleElementException when iterating with Python

by

If you just want your script to iterate over all the result pages, you don’t need any complicated logic – just make a click on Next button while it’s possible:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait as wait
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

driver.get('https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=sonicare+toothbrush')

while True:
    try:
        wait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'a > span#pagnNextString'))).click()
    except TimeoutException:
        break

P.S. Also note that implicitly_wait(10) should not wait full 10 seconds, but wait up to 10 seconds for element to appear in HTML DOM. So if element is found within 1 or 2 seconds then wait is done and you will not wait rest 8-9 seconds…
