The code works fine when I run it in Pycharm and in Command line, but this Cannot find reference 'find_elements' in 'None' issue is not getting resolved. There are no suggestions when using driver variable. How can I fix this? The picture of the issue can be found here https://gyazo.com/a4cae984bfbc1e7aff0e43d380f2354b

import pytest
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select

driver = None

@pytest.fixture()
def startingTest():
    global driver
    driver.implicitly_wait(5)
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\chromedriver.exe")
    driver.get("https://rahulshettyacademy.com/AutomationPractice/")
    yield
    driver.close()

def test_Radion(startingTest):
    buttons = driver.find_elements(By.NAME, "radioButton")
    buttons[2].click()
    assert buttons[2].is_selected()
    dropdown = driver.find_element(By.ID, "dropdown-class-example")
    dropdownDD = Select(dropdown)
    time.sleep(2)
    listD = dropdownDD.options
    print(len(listD))
    dropdownDD.select_by_visible_text("Option2")
    driver.find_element(By.ID, "autocomplete").send_keys("Ru")
    names = driver.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, "ui-menu-item")
    print(len(names))
    for name in names:
        print("I found this country", name.text)
        if name.text == "Peru":
            name.click()
            break

    assert driver.find_element(By.ID, "autocomplete").get_attribute('value') == "Peru"```

CodePudding user response：

If you look at your code, your are using driver before creating it

driver.implicitly_wait(5) # Here it is still None
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\chromedriver.exe") # here you create it

that I think you would have to resolve. Apart from that, as it is a fixture, I would not declare driver as a global but just yield it from the fixture, i.e.

@pytest.fixture()
def driver(): #renamed
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\chromedriver.exe")
    driver.implicitly_wait(5) # Not sure about that
    driver.get("https://rahulshettyacademy.com/AutomationPractice/")
    yield driver
    driver.close()

def test_Radion(driver):
    ...
