automatewhatsapp's Issues

Unable to locate element

Hi,

I was trying to use your project but I ran into some errors. It is not able to locate the user with the title attribute of the span tag. I'm new to selenium so, any idea why this is happening?

Below is a snippet from the terminal output

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "whatsapp.py", line 19, in <module>
    user = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//span[@title = "{}"]'.format(name))
  File "D:\somepythonscripts\selenium\dev-env\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 394, in find_element_by_xpath
    return self.find_element(by=By.XPATH, value=xpath)
  File "D:\somepythonscripts\selenium\dev-env\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 976, in find_element
    return self.execute(Command.FIND_ELEMENT, {
  File "D:\somepythonscripts\selenium\dev-env\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 321, in execute
    self.error_handler.check_response(response)
  File "D:\somepythonscripts\selenium\dev-env\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\errorhandler.py", line 242, in check_response
    raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//span[@title = "SomeName"]"}      
  (Session info: chrome=91.0.4472.114)

Code obsolete ??

So I was writing a code for the same, and I discovered that whatsapp web changed the titles of the elements that you are accessing in your code.
I changed them but even after that the code is not working properly since no msg is being typed in the msg_box
If you know why this is happening please do help me out. Thank you.
