I tried to find an element by class using startButton = driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, "start is-armed") and I got a very weird error message. The end almost looks like it could be assembly language:

[23248:27252:0126/162232.236:ERROR:device_event_log_impl.cc(215)] [16:22:32.235] USB: usb_service_win.cc:415 Could not read device interface GUIDs: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x2)

Anyone know why this is happening?

By.CLASS_NAME always accept single class value NOT multiple class values.

Instead use css selector.

startButton = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".start.is-armed")
