It seems like you’re missing a closing parenthesis ) at the end of your line of code. Here’s the corrected version: var like_btn = _driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//div[@id='info']//ytd-toggle-button-renderer[1]//a[1]//yt-icon-button[1]//button[1]//yt-icon[1]")); Thanks

The error you're encountering is likely due to the missing closing parenthesis at the end of the line. Here's the corrected line: var like_btn = _driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//div[@id='info']//ytd-toggle-button-renderer[1]//a[1]//yt-icon-button[1]//button[1]//yt-icon[1]"));

The error message you’re seeing typically means that the WebDriver is unable to locate an element on the page using the provided XPath. This could be due to several reasons: The element doesn’t exist : The element you’re trying to select might not exist on the page at the time WebDriver is trying to select it. This could be because the page hasn’t finished loading, or the element is dynamically loaded. Incorrect XPath : The XPath you’re using might not be correct. It’s possible that the structure of the page has changed, or there was a mistake in the XPath. Element not visible : WebDriver can only interact with visible elements. If the element is hidden, WebDriver will not be able to interact with it. Here are a few things you can try to fix this issue: Wait for the element : You can use explicit waits or implicit waits to give the page some time to load the element. Check your XPath : Test your XPath in the browser’s developer tools to make sure it’s correct. You can do this by inspecting the element and using the search function in the Elements tab. Check if the element is visible : Make sure the element is visible on the page when WebDriver is trying to select it. If the element is hidden, you might need to perform some action to make it visible (like scrolling or clicking on a button). Here’s an example of how you can add an explicit wait to your code: WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(_driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10)); var like_btn = wait.Until(drv => drv.FindElement(By.XPath("//div[@id='info']//ytd-toggle-button-renderer[1]//a[1]//yt-icon-button[1]//button[1]//yt-icon[1]"))); This code will wait up to 10 seconds for the element to appear on the page before throwing a NoSuchElementException . If the element appears within 10 seconds, the FindElement method will return it immediately. Thanks

Hi naimish I am getting below error no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//div[@id='info']//ytd-toggle-button-renderer[1]//a[1]//yt-icon-button[1]//button[1]//yt-icon[1]"} Thanks

Jayraj Chhaya · Answer

The error you are facing is due to a missing closing parenthesis in your XPath expression. var like_btn = _driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//div[@id='info']//ytd-toggle-button-renderer[1]//a[1]//yt-icon-button[1]//button[1]//yt-icon[1]"));
