Selenium - No Such Element Found

Question

Trying to set up autologin for snow dev instance using selenium+python and below is code snippet I tried but for some strange reason every time it gives me an error "no such element found" or timeout exception as per different setup I tried , though the element is quite available on html page.

Me new to selenium/python so any help/suggestion would be much appreciated. Thanks,

Explicit wait

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
uName = wait.until(ec.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, "user_name")))
# un = wait.until(ec.presence_of_element_located((By.NAME, 'user_name')))
uName.send_keys("admin")

throws timeout exception

 File "C:/Users/Administrator/Users/Desktop/PySelenium/snow.py", line 21, in <module>
    uName = wait.until(ec.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, "user_name")))
  File "C:\Users\Administrator\Users\Desktop\PySelenium\venv\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\support\wait.py", line 80, in until
    raise TimeoutException(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.TimeoutException: Message:

with sleep time

from selenium import webdriver
import time

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Downloads\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://dev91011.service-now.com/")
time.sleep(120)
uName = driver.find_element_by_id("user_name")
uName.send_keys("admin")

throws Unable to locate element error

File "C:\Users\Administrator\Users\Desktop\PySelenium\venv\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":"css selector","selector":"[id="user_name"]"}
  (Session info: chrome=78.0.3904.87)

locators as from snow page

<div><label class="control-label" for="user_name">User name</label><input type="text" class="form-control" id="user_name" name="user_name" value="" autocomplete="off"></div>

The items you are trying to find are inside of an iframe. You need to switch the context of the driver to the frame first.

from selenium import webdriver
import time

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Downloads\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://dev91011.service-now.com/")
time.sleep(120)
frame = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('#gsft_main')
driver.switch_to.frame(frame)
uName = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('input[id="user_name"]')
uName.send_keys("admin")
