[Solved] Selenium - Python - AttributeError: 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'find_element_by_name'

Problem:

I am trying to get Selenium working with Chrome, but I keep running into this error message:

AttributeError: 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'find_element_by_name'

The same problem occurs with find_element_by_id(), find_element_by_class(), etc..

I also could not call send_keys().

Solution:

As per their Official Document of Selenium 4.3.0 they have removed find_element_by_* and find_elements_by_* . You Can Also Read these Documents Here.

Selenium 4.3.0
* Deprecated find_element_by_* and find_elements_by_* are now removed(#10712)
* Deprecated Opera support has been removed (#10630)

Now you can use find_element() instead. And You can Use find_element instead of find_element_by_name. Like that-

driver.find_element("name", "q")

NOTE:  If you want to find several elements you have to add an s, so instead of find_elements_by_* it is now find_elements()
