How to solve a StaleElementReferenceException: Message: stale element reference: element is not attached error using Selenium Ubuntu EC2 using Python

问题

I am trying to extract all data of column "Nb B" in this page : https://www.coteur.com/cotes-foot.php

When I run my code from a Ubuntu PC It works perfectly but when I tried with EC2 Ubuntu It does not give me the good return.

Here is my server : ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-bionic-18.04-amd64-server-20200611 (ami-0a63f96e85105c6d3)

Here is the python script :

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding: utf­-8 ­-*-

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

options = Options()
options.headless = True
options.add_argument("window-size=1400,800")
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)

driver.get('https://www.coteur.com/cotes-foot.php')

#Store url associated with the soccer games
url_links = []
for i in driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//a[contains(@href, "match/cotes-")]'):
    url_links.append(i.get_attribute('href'))

print(len(url_links), '\n')

nb_bookies = []
for i in driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//tr[@id and @role="row" ]/td[last()]'):
    nb_bookies.append(i.text)

print(nb_bookies)

Here is the output :

Traceback (most recent call last):

To print the value of the href attributes you have to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_all_elements_located() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

• Using XPATH:

  driver.get("https://www.coteur.com/cotes-foot.php")
  print([my_elem.get_attribute("href") for my_elem in WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//a[contains(@href, 'match/cotes-')]")))])
  

• Using CSS_SELECTOR:

  driver.get("https://www.coteur.com/cotes-foot.php")
  print([my_elem.get_attribute("href") for my_elem in WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a[href*='match/cotes-']")))])
  

• Console Output:

• Note : You have to add the following imports :

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

For the Nb B column I tried this line of code :

print([my_elem for my_elem in WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//tr[@id and @role="row" ]/td[last()]")))])
                                                                                                                                      

But I have a syntax error
