Selenium AttributeError: type object 'By' has no attribute 'name' while fetching-CodePudding

Not sure why this error is showing up, I've asked various questions relating to this issue already. Webdriver for some reason, just cannot find the type field i'm looking for, giving me Attribute not found errors as well as NoSuchElementException errors.

Error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 19, in <module>
    driver.find_element(By.name,"nickname").send_keys(username Keys.ENTER)
AttributeError: type object 'By' has no attribute 'name'

Line of code:

time.sleep(0.2)
driver.find_element(By.name,"nickname").send_keys(username Keys.ENTER)

HTML:

<input name="nickname" type="text" placeholder="Nickname" maxlength="15" id="nickname" data-functional-selector="username-input"  autocomplete="off" value="" aria-expanded="false">

CodePudding user response：

As per The By implementation the set of supported locator strategies are:

CLASS_NAME = class name
CSS_SELECTOR = css selector
ID = id
LINK_TEXT = link text
NAME = name
PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT = partial link text
TAG_NAME = tag name
XPATH = xpath

Accordingly, you have to change By.name as By.NAME

Effectively, you line of code will be:

driver.find_element(By.NAME,"nickname").send_keys(username   Keys.ENTER)
