after the chapter 6 git hard reset I get this Unable to locate element: {"method":"id","selector":"i

[Mitch Raful]

I've tried everything.  I've compared the code on git hub with what I have and still can't figure it out.  I have printed the table rows to make sure they're there and 1. Peacock feathers is there... I don't get it.  Below is my test_can_start list, as that's where the error comes from according to the output

def test_can_start_a_list_and_retrieve_it_later(self):
    # Edith has heard about a cool new online to-do app. She goes to check its homepage
    self.browser.get(self.live_server_url)

    # She notices the page title and header mention to-do lists
    self.assertIn('To-Do', self.browser.title)
    header_text = self.browser.find_element_by_tag_name('h1').text
    self.assertIn('To-Do', header_text )

    inputbox = self.browser.find_element_by_id('id_new_item')
    self.assertEqual( inputbox.get_attribute('placeholder'), 'Enter a to-do item')
    inputbox.send_keys('Buy peacock feathers')
    inputbox.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
    edith_list_url = self.browser.current_url
    self.assertRegex(edith_list_url, '/lists/.+')
    self.check_for_row_in_list_table('1: Buy peacock feathers')

    inputbox = self.browser.find_element_by_id('id_new_item')
    inputbox.send_keys('Use peacock feathers to make a fly' )
    inputbox.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)

    self.check_for_row_in_list_table('1: Buy peacock feathers')
    self.check_for_row_in_list_table('2: Use peacock feathers to make a fly')

    #New user comes along to the site
    ## We're closing and opening the browser to create a new session
    ## to check that none of Edith's stuff comes through cookies, etc
    self.browser.quit()
    self.browser = webdriver.Firefox()

    #Check new user doesn't see Edith's list
    self.browser.get(self.live_server_url)
    page_text = self.browser.find_element_by_tag_name('body').text
    self.assertNotIn('Buy peacock feathers', page_text)
    self.assertNotIn('make a fly', page_text)

    #New user, Francis, starts a new list
    inputbox = self.browser.find_element_by_id('id_new_item')
    inputbox.send_keys('Buy milk')
    inputbox.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)

    #New user gets unique url
    francis_list_url = self.browser.current_url
    self.assertRegex(francis_list_url, '/lists/.+')
    self.assertNotEqual(francis_list_url, edith_list_url)

    #Let's double check for the first user's, Edith, list
    page_text = self.browser.find_element_by_tag_name('body').text
    self.assertNotIn('Buy peacock feathers', page_text)
    self.assertIn('Buy milk', page_text)

Any ideas??

What's the problem exactly?

I am sorry, I didn't post the entire error....  id_list_table is the element that can not be found.

When running the functional test it loads up the input boxes.  On the browser I get The requested URL /lists//add_item was not found on this server.  Then it launches the window for the second user  with the Start a to do list window, then I get this from the test

Hope that's clearer.

I still don't know what point in the book you're at.  And, if you're saying this happens after we've built the second browser window, then why is it checking for "buy peacock feathers"?  that's in the first browser window...

Sorry, I am in Chapter 7, did the git reset --hard. Added bootstrap but not have changed to inherited templates yet.  It does appear to make it past the check peacock feathers, then I get the The requested URL /lists//add_item was not found on this server. in the browser.   The second browser window opens and that's when I get the test failure.  I'm not getting input boxes for Francis.

Getting closer, if I plug this in...

<form method="POST" action="/lists/1/add_item">

it works.   Why no list_id???

[Koby Karp]

I had the same issue.

This modification cleared the error:

<form method="POST" action="/lists/new">

instead of

<form method="POST" action="/lists/{{ list.id }}/add_item">

in home.html.

[Harry Percival]

By the end of chapter 6, home.html should definitely have "/lists/new".  Only lists.html should have the {{ list_id }}.

I had luck adding:

self.browser.implicitly_wait(3) at the beginning of the "check_for_row_in_list_table" within functional_tests/tests.py

Thank you
