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

In my case, the problem

stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document

was because I tried to use actions.move_to_element(element).perform() on actions that created from old Selenium tab.

So the solution is to create new actions instance after opening new tab:

actions = ActionChains(browser)
actions.move_to_element(element).perform()
