Where am I mistaken with my Explicit Wait | Expected Conditions | wait.until syntax?

Question

I fixed my previous problem with sys.argv (depends on how the .cmd file call the script).

Now I'm stuck with another trouble :

selenium.common.exceptions.StaleElementReferenceException: Message: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document

I read quite a lot about this but I am still confused how to deal with it.

My code is quite simple :

while True:
    price = float(driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//td[@class='col-prix']")[0].text.strip()[:-1].replace(",","."))
    if a <= price <= b: break
    driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//button")[0].click()

and sometimes I get :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "script.py", line 51, in <module>
    driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//button")[0].click()

(...)

File "C:\Python\Python37-32\lib\site-packages\selenium-3.141.0-py3.7.egg\selenium\webdriver\remote\errorhandler.py", line 242, in check_response
    raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.StaleElementReferenceException: Message: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document

and sometimes :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "script.py", line 49, in <module>
    price = float(driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//td[@class='col-prix']")[0].text.strip()[:-1].replace(",","."))

(...)

  File "C:\Python\Python37-32\lib\site-packages\selenium-3.141.0-py3.7.egg\selenium\webdriver\remote\errorhandler.py", line 242, in check_response
    raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.StaleElementReferenceException: Message: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document

So I was interested in checking whether both are present (visible ???).

I tried to implement a simple :

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 60)
element = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH,"//button")))

and

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 60)
element = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH,"//td[@class='col-prix']")))

but I still get the same errors.

QUESTION # 1: am I using the correct syntax?

QUESTION # 2: can this be linked to the fact that both elements need to have a predicate [0] (and if yes how can I specify the predicate in the presence_of_element_located)?

Thanks for your help! ;-)

EDIT

Here's my code.

I have a setting file "test.txt" which only contains :

I have a .cmd file which only contains :

start "test" "py" "test.py" "test.txt"

and I have a test script "test.py" :

Answer 1

Instead of this.

while True:
            hint = float(driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//td[@class='col-prix']")[0].text.strip()[:-1].replace(",","."))
            if minPrice <= hint <= maxPrice: break
            driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//button")[0].click()
            driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//button")[0].click()
            sleep(1)

Try the below code.

while True:
price = float(driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//td[@class='col-prix']")[0].text.strip()[:-1].replace(",", "."))
print(price)
if a <= price <= b: break
element=WebDriverWait(driver,5).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH,"//button/span[text()='Tous les billets']")))
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(element).perform()
driver.refresh()

Please let me know if it works.
