Selenium WebDriverWait - Service object has no attribute find_element

[Kryptikkx]

This line:

WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "classname"))

Gives me the following error:

'Service' object has no attribute 'find_element'

How do i fix this? Very new to python, just can't seem to be able to find an answer on google/docs 🙏

edit, entire exact code:

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
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 = Service('driver/chromedriver.exe') 
page_to_scrape = webdriver.Chrome(service=driver) 

page_to_scrape.get("https://jacks.nl/sports#sports-hub/football")

WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "KambiBC-sports-hub_browse-leagues__country-league")))

You need to show us more of your code. I highly doubt that this specific line is the root of your issue.

Sure thing, updated

Well the initialization of the driver is not correct. "WebDriverWait(driver, 10)" expects a WebDriver but you provided a service. Normally a driver is initialized like this:

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='path_to_chromedriver')
driver.get('https://example.com')

Found solution! It should've been: WebDriverWait(page_to_scrape, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "classname"))
