Why getting selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException in selenium python Script?

Question

I am new to selenium and written a script to login, and when I am running the script getting the following error:-

Error:-

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":"[id="SignIn Form_email"]"}

Script:-

url = "https://someurl.com"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\CustomDrivers\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver")
driver.get(url)
print(driver.title)
user_id = driver.find_element_by_id("SignIn Form_email")
user_id.send_keys("admin@web.com")

user_password = driver.find_element_by_id("SignIn Form_password")
user_password.send_keys("web$$DD")

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='SignIn Form']/div[3]/div/div/div/button").click()
print(driver.title)
time.sleep(5)

Where is the HTML? Without it, we can't really help you.

By the way, your user_id and user_password look like a class name, are you sure about find_element_by_id method? Shouldn't you use find_element_by_class instead?

By seeing this error

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":"[id="SignIn Form_email"]"}

You will have to make sure

This [id="SignIn Form_email"] is not under an iframe.
This [id="SignIn Form_email"] is not under a shadow-root.
You should not be on the new tab/windows launched by selenium.
You may be trying to interact with the element and it has not rendedered completely.

Also, Please check in the dev tools (Google chrome) if we have unique entry in HTML DOM or not.

xpath that you should check :

[id="SignIn Form_email"]

Steps to check:

Press F12 in Chrome -> go to element section -> do a CTRL + F -> then paste the xpath and see, if your desired element is getting highlighted with 1/1 matching node.

Now, if it is iframe, please switch to iframe first.

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 30)
wait.until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH, "")))

if it is element not rendered issue, Please induce web driver wait like

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 30)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "")))

Imports :

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