I am using a Selenium module in Python to log into Quora. It works fine for Facebook, but I am getting an error on the send_keys('my_email')
line while trying it on Quora:
I am using the following script.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('http://www.quora.com/')
time.sleep(60)
username = driver.find_element_by_name('email')
time.sleep(60)
username.send_keys('my_email')
time.sleep(60)
password = driver.find_element_by_name('password')
time.sleep(60)
password.send_keys('my_password')
time.sleep(60)
password.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
driver.close
Sleep time is not a problem here, because I tried executing a script line by line using the Python shell.
Error:
