Python Selenium Chrome Unable to Find Element?

Question

I'm new to Selenium, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to automate finding elements such as buttons and text fields. Here's what I have:

import os
from selenium import webdriver

os.environ["PATH"] = "chromedriver_win32"
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://signup.mail.com#.7518-header-signup1-1")
driver.find_element(
    "xpath",
    '//*[@class="pos-form-element pos-text-input email-alias-input__alias-input ng-pristine ng-invalid ng-touched"]',
)

I'm confused because it's saying it cannot find the element. Is there anything obvious that I'm doing wrong? I'm not sure how to fix this.

I tried $x('//*[@class="pos-form-element pos-text-input email-alias-input__alias-input ng-pristine ng-invalid ng-touched"]') on chrome devtool. it return an empty array. — Amit Kumar

You can find your element using something like element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//*[@class="pos-form-element pos-text-input email-alias-input__alias-input ng-untouched ng-pristine ng-invalid"]'))).
