Thank you so much Naveen for detailed explanation! in this case what kind of exception we get if element is disabled after refresh? is it NoSuchElementException or StaleElementReferenceException?

Thanks Naveen.. so after every refresh selenium will generate its internal reference Id, which will not match with previous reference Id for all pages including ajax ?

Hi Naveen i understood this "StaleElementException" but in my project manually we are not refreshing the page. In my project For create user page, we have one Orga Id and Unit Id As per OrgaId unit Id will get load. So after giving OrgaId automatic page will refresh and unit id will show in select drop down. I tried with implicit wait also but still getting "TimeoutException" otherwise "StaleElementException" kindly give me some solution for this error. Thank you.

Very nice explained

Big fan 🙌

Excellent 👍

great video thanks @naveek

So, how can we handle this stale element exception?

Thanks Naveen ☺️

Thanks for the clear explanation with the unique ID. I have a python selenium script that goes to a page, enters data and then clicks a submit button. Another page loads and the script clicks a search button. This is performed through a loop repeatedly and it works for approximately 10-40 times but it always fails at some seemingly random point with the stale element reference exception. I am searching for the button and clicking it on the very next line. Is it possible that the unique ID of the element is changing from one line of my code to the next? If so how do I address it? SearchButton = WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '.button-label'))) SearchButton.click()

Thanks Naveen

Thank you so much sir :)
