Python Selenium : Failed to read descriptor from node

Question

Im working on scraping News From https://finance.detik.com/indeks. I work on Windows OS with VS code as code editor. Somehow my program can open web browser but can't read WebElement and give error like this :

DevTools listening on ws://127.0.0.1:54867/devtools/browser/ed90b4ff-9d7d-40b5-974b-edfc955e2410 [6384:8844:0925/194226.820:ERROR:device_event_log_impl.cc(214)] [19:42:26.820] USB: usb_device_handle_win.cc:1048 Failed to read descriptor from node connection: A device attached to the system is not functioning. (0x1F)

this is my code :

from pandas.core.frame import DataFrame
from selenium import webdriver
from time import sleep

driver = webdriver.Chrome("D:\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://finance.detik.com/indeks")
sleep(3)
# The code below usually results in an error WebElement not found
# ---------------------------------------------------------
article = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("just_test")
#---------------------------------------------------------- 
for i in article:
    print(i)
driver.close()
driver.quit()

I've been looking for the solution in Failed to read descriptor from node connection: A device attached to the system is not functioning error using ChromeDriver Selenium on Windows OS but nothing work on me. I hope you guys know the answer.. Thanksss :)

Answer 1

You need to add options in my case I used this to ignore different Bluetooth and USB messages

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('--ignore-certificate-errors')
options.add_argument("--disable-webgl")
options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-logging"])
path = r'chromedriver.exe'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(path,options=options)

Answer 2

I am not getting the same error as you've got. But I ran the below code in my local.

1. Use find_elements to list all the article.
2. Use JS to scroll to each element.

Code :

driver = webdriver.Chrome(driver_path)
driver.maximize_window()
#driver.implicitly_wait(30)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 30)
driver.get("https://finance.detik.com/indeks")
time.sleep(3)
size_of_scrapper = len(driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//article"))

j = 1
for i in range(size_of_scrapper):
    element = driver.find_element_by_xpath(f"(//article)[{j}]")
    driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element)
    inner_value = element.find_element(By.XPATH, ".//descendant::h3/a").get_attribute('innerText')
    print(inner_value)
    j = j + 1
