Hello!
This is my nested try code block:

        #Searches for the "Email is not valid" popup
        time.sleep(0.3)
        driver.find_element(by="xpath", value="/html/body/div/form[1]/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/div/div/div/div[1]/div[3]/div/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div")
    except:    THIS SHOULD EXECUTE
        try:
            #Email is Valid, writes in Password
            driver.find_element(by="id", value="passwordEntry").send_keys(Password + Keys.ENTER)
        except:
            driver.close()
            return "Invalid"
        else:
            try:
                #Password is Valid, searches for the "Yes" button, meaning no 2FA
                driver.find_element(by="xpath", value="/html/body/div/div/div/div/div/div[1]/div/div/div/div/form")
            except:
                    try:
                        driver.find_element(by="xpath", value="/html/body/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div/form/div/div[6]/div/div/input")
                    except:
                        #Doesn't find the "NEXT" or "YES" button but a 2fa screen instead
                        return "2FA"
                    else:
                        #Finds a "NEXT" button

                            pickle.dump(cookies, file)
                        return "Valid"
                    finally:
                        driver.close()
            else:
                #Finds the "Yes" button, account is Valid.
                with open("cookie.pkl", "wb") as file:
                    pickle.dump(cookies, file)
                return "Valid"
            finally:
                driver.close()
    else:
        driver.quit()
        return "Invalid"```

Why doesn't the except statement execute?

This is my error Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\(USER)\filetesting\login\main.py", line 40, in main driver.find_element(by="xpath", value="/html/body/div/form[1]/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/div/div/div/div[1]/div[3]/div/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div")

This is everything!

you've also not shared all the code, includnig the section throwing the exception:

  File "C:\Users\jirir_r7cm2uq\filetesting\login\main.py", line 99, in <module>
    output = main(separated[0], separated[1])
  File "C:\Users\jirir_r7cm2uq\filetesting\login\main.py", line 71, in main
    driver.close()```

#

I 100% gaurantee except works, you're probably just looking at the wrong sectioion of code becuase you're looking at the line at the top of the first traceback

Oh oops, okay wait, can I send it on this website?

stray coral Aug 8, 2025, 5:01 PM

#

gray shore I 100% gaurantee except works, you're probably just looking at the wrong sectioi...

I was looking at line 40

gray shore Aug 8, 2025, 5:01 PM

#

right, it calls out lines 99 and 71

stray coral Aug 8, 2025, 5:01 PM

#

But isn't that During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

#

and those exceptions occured because of the first exception

gray shore Aug 8, 2025, 5:03 PM

#

right, in that exception block arouound line 40, another exception is happening

#

it wasn't "because" of the first exception, it was while handling it

stray coral Aug 8, 2025, 5:03 PM

#

Oh okay, my apologies!

gray shore Aug 8, 2025, 5:04 PM

#

no need to appologize

stray coral Aug 8, 2025, 5:04 PM

#

stray coral https://sharetext.io/73692b12

Would you like me to share the full code through this website? or upload it as a text file to discord?

#

it's the line 71 driver.close() that's the root issue

stray coral Aug 8, 2025, 5:07 PM

#

It was!!! Thank you so much ❤️

gray shore Aug 8, 2025, 5:07 PM

sure thing!

stray coral Aug 8, 2025, 5:08 PM

Also, is there a way to make the nested try: methods more readable? Because now I have try: everywhere and it's a bit complicated to debug
