Just started learning Selenium with Python. And no matter how much I change the WebDriverWait, it’s still giving me the TimeoutException.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC


url = 'https://bbrauncareers-bbraun.icims.com/jobs/search?ss=1&searchRelation=keyword_all'
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.implicitly_wait(30)
driver.get(url)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 30)

title = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'div.description')))


print(title)

The page loads fully on driver.get(url), but it doesn’t seem to want to find the title. I tried changing the css selector to anything else on the page, and it’s still the same. What am I doing wrong here? Thank you!

>Solution :

There is an IFRAME which is wrapping the desired element inside. You need to switch into the IFRAME first, then you need to perform the action you want on the desired element.

Refer the below code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get("https://bbrauncareers-bbraun.icims.com/jobs/search?ss=1&searchRelation=keyword_all")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 15)

# below line will switch into the IFRAME
wait.until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.ID, "icims_content_iframe")))

title = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "(//div[contains(@class,'description')])[1]")))
print(title.text)

# Below line will come out of IFRME
driver.switch_to.default_content()
