visibility_of_all_elements_located() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given error

Ubuntu 24.04

Chrome Version 137.0.7127.2 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)

Selenium Version: 4.31.0

Python 3.12.3

I'm new to selenium, trying to learn by doing, I have a partial code

a = (By.XPATH, "//*[@id='bookingCruiseDetails']/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/h3")

cruise_title = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located(a))

when I run this code, it gave me a blank page, but if I run this code instead

cruise_title = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located(By.XPATH, "//*[@id='bookingCruiseDetails']/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/h3"))

it gave me this error > `visibility_of_all_elements_located() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given`

What am I doing wrong? The complete code is as follows:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

from selenium import webdriver

import time

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()

# options.add_argument("--headless") # Run headless if you wish

options.add_experimental_option('detach', True)

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)

url = "https://www.costacruises.eu/cruises/BCN04A28/FS04250428.html"

# for url in self.cruise_urls:

try:

driver.maximize_window()

driver.get(url) #load a cruise page

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)

# Below try catch code is to handle the cookie consent pop-up. If you are not getting this pop-up, you can remove this code.

try:

wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[text()='Accept']"))).click()

except Exception as e:

print("Accept button not found or not clickable:", e)

time.sleep(1)

a = (By.XPATH, "//*[@id='bookingCruiseDetails']/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/h3")

cruise_title = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located(a))

#cruise_title = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located(By.XPATH, "//h2[@class='bcd-title__title']"))

print("cruise title > " + cruise_title.text)

except Exception as e:

print(e)

driver.close()

That method takes a locator tuple... but you are passing 2 separate arguments.

Hi, Try using:

cruise_title = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//*[@id='bookingCruiseDetails']/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/h3")))

I've added some extra brackets.

However your other option is way better:
cruise_title = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//h2[@class='bcd-title__title']")))
I've added the extra brackets here too.

Cheers,

Adrian.
