StaleElementReferenceException on Python Selenium

Question

I am getting the following error while using Selenium in python:

selenium.common.exceptions.StaleElementReferenceException: Message: u\'stale element referen         


        

Answer 1

For my python scripts, on quite simple pages, all above mentioned solutions didn't work. I found here -> https://www.softwaretestingmaterial.com/stale-element-reference-exception-selenium-webdriver/ the simplest way for my problem. It's just refreshing before clicking.

driver.refresh()
driver.find_element_by_id('normal').click()

Note: I'm using driver.implicitly_wait(5) instead of explicit waits but it works in both options.
