'NoneType' object has no attribute 'find_element' trying to switch tabs with a condition

Question

I'm trying to switch tab when a condition is satisfied and then in put the value in the new tab.

In this case the condition is if a number start with "S" like S9335 then replace it with a 900,i.e S9335=9009335, and search that value in another website with the next code and extract the value that appear in that website, if that value doesn't begin with "S" then search that value in another website:

options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
webdriver_service = Service('C:\webdrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=webdriver_service, options=options)
websites = ['https://www.rues.org.co/RM','https://www.rues.org.co/ESAL']

Mat_column= 'Mat'
value='01'
excel_file_path=r'C:\Users\Hi\Documents\Project\output\164115.xlsx'

driver.get(websites[0])


df=pd.read_excel(excel_file_path, dtype=str)

NIT=[]

for i in df.index: 

    entry=df.loc[i]
   
    if entry[Mat_column].startswith('S'):

        new_entry=entry[Mat_column].replace('S','900')
        
        driver.execute_script("window.open('');")
        driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[1])
        d1=driver.get(websites[1])

        cam = Select(d1.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[@id="codCamara"]'))
        cam.select_by_value(value)

        driver.find_element(By.LINK_TEXT, 'Matrícula / Inscripción').click()

        time.sleep(3)
         
        mat = driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'//*[@id="txtSearchMat"]')
        consult = driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'//*[@id="btnConsultaMat"]')

        mat.send_keys(new_entry)
        consult.click()
        mat.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL + "a")

        try:
            nit = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//*[@id="rmTable2"]/tbody/tr/td[3]'))).text
            NIT.append(nit)
        except:
            NIT.append("0")

    else:
        driver.execute_script("window.open('');")
        driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[1])

        cam = Select(d1.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[@id="codCamara"]'))
        cam.select_by_value(value)

        driver.find_element(By.LINK_TEXT, 'Matrícula / Inscripción').click()

        mat = driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'//*[@id="txtSearchMat"]')
        consult = driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'//*[@id="btnConsultaMat"]') 

        mat.send_keys(entry[Mat_column])
        consult.click()
        mat.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL + "a")

        try:
            nit = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//*[@id="rmTable2"]/tbody/tr/td[3]'))).text
            NIT.append(nit)
        except:
            NIT.append("0")

DATANIT=pd.DataFrame(
    {   
        'NIT' : NIT,
    }
)

print(DATANIT)

but I have the next error

cam = Select(d1.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[@id="codCamara"]'))
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'find_element'

Any help? please

EDIT

If I replace the d1 with driver as you can see in the next code below

driver.get(websites[1])

cam = Select(driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[@id="codCamara"]'))

I have the next error

Based on the [quickstart instructions](https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/getting-started.html), it looks like `d1.find_element` ought to be `driver.find_element`. — Nick ODell, May 16 '23 at 21:17
The Selenium `driver.get` does not return anything. You only have one connection to the browser. You can't get one connection per tab. — Tim Roberts, May 16 '23 at 21:20
@NickODell but if I do that i have the next error line 76, in select_by_value self._set_selected(opt)File C:\Users\Hi\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site packages\selenium\webdriver\support\select.py", line 211, in _set_selected option.click() — Al.Vioky, May 16 '23 at 21:22
@Al.Vioky You may have more than one error. Can you include the full traceback in your question? — Nick ODell, May 16 '23 at 21:24

It is a known issue with Selenium that you inspect an element on the browser. Yet, when you try to click it Selenium tells you that this element is not clickable or not interactable.

For this you have 2 options:

Click on the 1st child of the object:

cam = 
Select(d1.find_element(By.XPATH, '//* 
[@id="codCamara"]/span'))

Or, if the inner child is div:

cam = Select(d1.find_element(By.XPATH,
'//*[@id="codCamara"]/div'))

Try to click on the first parent ("dad") element:

 cam = Select(d1.find_element(By.XPATH,
'//*[@id="codCamara"]'))
 parent = cam.findElement(By.xpath("./.."))
