I am facing a strange issue where my python code takes one minute to complete a loop when i used it under try except statement. The try block contains a driver.find_element which raises exception when it is not found and in the except block i am decrementing the loop count. Could you help me on reducing the looping time as the loops are faster in any programming language.
My code is below
def get_element_by_loop(self,elem_name,prefix,suffix,start_no,end_no):
'''
This function will get the loop of the element in parm1 with the given prefix and end_no\n
parm1 is elem tag name in the id of element
parm2 is prefix of loop count
parm3 is start of loop count
parm4 is end of loop count
'''
retry = end_no
btn_no = start_no
while retry>0:
print(f"retry {retry} button no {btn_no}")
try:
elem_no = f"//{elem_name}[@id='{prefix}{btn_no}{suffix}']"
print(btn_no)
print(datetime.now())
if self.checkelembyxpath(elem_no):
print(elem_no)
elem = self.driver.find_element(By.XPATH, elem_no)
retry = 0
return elem
else:
raise Exception("Element not found")
except:
btn_no+=1
retry-=1
