Selenium clicks one time, but next click returns StaleElementReferenceException

Message: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document in Python

1 answer

So I'm pretty new in Python and I tried something for my own, using selenium and firefox. But I got a StaleElementRefereceException when I want to type into a text field in firefox with selenium using send_key()

I tried a lot of Solutions like How to avoid "StaleElementReferenceException" in Selenium? but doesn't help me much because mine is not a click(), it's a send_key.

    hshtg = "xyz"



    driver = self.driver

    driver.get(".......")

    #time.sleep(3)



    cmmnt_elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//textarea[@aria-label="Kommentar hinzufügen ..."]')

    cmmnt_elem.click()

    #time.sleep(3)



    cmmnt_elem.send_keys(hshtg)

    #time.sleep(3)

    cmmnt_elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

But, I got those errors.

File ".....py", line 45, in comment_photo

cmmnt_elem.send_keys(hshtg)

......

selenium.common.exceptions.StaleElementReferenceException: Message: The element 

reference of <textarea class="Ypffh"> is stale; either the element is no longer 

attached to the DOM, it is not in the current frame context, or the document 

has been refreshed

tried this too: (cause of this: How to avoid "StaleElementReferenceException" in Selenium?)

attempts = 0

while attempts < 20:

try:

cmmnt_elem.send_keys(hshtg)

break

except Exception as e:

attempts+1

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.

hard to tell without your xpath, but could the xpath to the textarea change based on your click?

when you click the textarea the DOM will be modified, so it will give the error, there are two solution to fix it.

remove click() action

cmmnt_elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//textarea[@aria-label="Kommentar hinzufügen ..."]')    

cmmnt_elem.send_keys(hshtg)

Re-search the element after click

cmmnt_elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//textarea[@aria-label="Kommentar hinzufügen ..."]')

cmmnt_elem.click()



cmmnt_elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//textarea[@aria-label="Kommentar hinzufügen ..."]')

cmmnt_elem.send_keys(hshtg)
