I have checked far and wide for a fix for this. But to no avail. Nothing seems to work. I am trying to locate a Username and Password box to enter in the information. But it comes up with the error 

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[@id="userName"]"}

I have tried to find using id but still no luck.
Any ideas?

username_box = bot.driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="userName"]')

This is the inspect element

<input class="userNameField" maxlength="255" id="userName" name="userName" type="text">

  • I am using -i in the command line, so elements loading are not a problem. I have been on the page for 5 minutes now

  • It is interactive, so I entered in the command and am sure that the box is fully loaded. So using a wait would not be required. Unless I am misunderstanding what an explicit wait is

  • freekigames.com/educational-trivia That is the link to the website. Just click the orange Login/Sign Up box. You cannot inspect the box, but you can inspect the word and find the box easily

    Hi John, is this what worked for you? If so, it would be good to add a small amount of info about how you arrived at it, just to help future readers who might have a slightly different but not quite different enough to ask a new question kind of issue. Thanks!
