Switching to new window with selenium python

Question

I have a list with all xpath of links

Here is my code:


original_window = driver.current_window_handle
for stat in stats:
  
     
     
     WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, stat))).click()
     WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.number_of_windows_to_be(2))
     for window_handle in driver.window_handles:
        if window_handle != original_window:
            driver.switch_to.window(window_handle)
            print(driver.current_url)
            driver.close()
            driver.switch_to.window(original_window)
            print(driver.current_url)
            break
            
     time.sleep(15)

It works the first time but after that it gives me this error:

Here is how Stats is defined:

stats = []

for a in driver.find_elements_by_tag_name("tr"):
   aa = a.get_attribute("idavv")
   if aa is not None:
      aaa = "//*[@id=\"simple-row-box-prematch-" + aa + "\"]/td[6]/table/tbody/tr/td[1]"
     
      stats.append(aaa)

if i let only the click event the code works fine like this and opens all windows:

for stat in stats:
  
     
     
     WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, stat))).click()
     
     time.sleep(15)

The error appears only when i try to switch from the old to new and from the new to old window, it works only the first time

I print the current url just to see if it's switching as it most

Help is appreciated, thanks to all of you

All I can tell so far, and you probably already know, is that stat is not found to be clickable and times out after 10 seconds. Can you include how you have defined stats? Also the HTML of the page you are testing please? — C. Peck

@C.Peck I added how stats is defined the url of the original page is link, and if i just loop to only click, it clicks fine all links, the problem appears when i swith to the new window — Hamita

First of all, this line confuses me. aa = a.get_attribute("idavv") -- you are trying to get the value of an attribute called idavv? I can't find that attribute anywhere on the page. I also can't find any element with an ID like simple-row-box-prematch. Can you help me figure out exactly which elements you are trying to locate? — C. Peck

When you open there is a button called TODAY, it's on the left side of the page, when you click that button you will get the list of links — Hamita

I found the solution to my problem, it was the frame, it works the first time because the frame was selected, everytime i switch back i must swith to the frame too so my code become:

 WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, stat))).click()
 WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.number_of_windows_to_be(2))
 for window_handle in driver.window_handles:
    if window_handle != original_window:
        driver.switch_to.window(window_handle)
        print(driver.current_url)
        driver.close()
        driver.switch_to.window(original_window)
        driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element_by_id("receiver"))
        
        break
