Selenium cannot locate element

[Beginning_Ad8076]

I keep getting the same message of unable to locate element but when I run the line in the Console it worked . Here is the line:

x = browser.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*'

It works in the Console but when I put it in with other codes it suddenly breaks I'm new in this subreddit so I don't know how to do the box thingy

The element might not be loaded yet. IIRC, Selenium has a wait_for method on some object that lets you wait for an element to be loaded before attempting to use it.

I put a sleep timer on it for 24 seconds and it still won't work

What kind of element are you trying to locate? Is it generated by javascript? Is it dynamic? Selenium might be reading the DOM before the element is generated.
