I am having an issue with the code, it returns

TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

email = driver.find_element(By.ID("email-input")).getAttribute("id")

I read through some other threads and tried

email = driver.find_element(By.ID("email-input")).text

But it's not working

ERROR

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\user\Desktop\LAB AUTOMATION\LAB.py", line 42, in email = driver.find_element(By.ID, "email-input").getAttribute("id") File "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 855, in find_element return self.execute(Command.FIND_ELEMENT, { File "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 428, in execute self.error_handler.check_response(response)

find_element takes a type string plus additional parameters based on type. By.ID is just the string "id". You want to use 2 parameters. The first flags that you are finding by id, and the second is the id to be found.

email = driver.find_element(By.ID, "email-input").getAttribute("id")

See Locating Elements for more details on locating elements.

  • I tried that too but got this error : selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":"[id="email-input"]"} – Syed Asad Haider Sep 29 '22 at 04:28
  • @SyedAsadHaider - I don't have your data but the error suggests that you don't have an element with that id. – tdelaney Sep 29 '22 at 05:17

  • That is a new problem, and demands a new question. Make sure to follow all the steps (read [ask], [mre], https://ericlippert.com/2014/03/05/how-to-debug-small-programs/ and https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/261592 first in order to understand how to ask questions properly) before asking. Note well that Stack Overflow is **not a discussion forum**.
