You need to know how to ask questions to be helped. At least show the XPATH you have and if possible a public URL and the HTML code you want to select. If you paste here, with proper code styling, a minimal example of Robot Framework test file, you will have help really quick. (the time I have spent in writing this, could have been spent in writing the solution for your problem) ---

Without looking at the documentation of SeleniumLibrary, I suspect the problem is you using `xpath:`and not `xpath=`. ---

find\_elements\_by\_xpath has been deprecated and removed from selenium long time ago and from seleniumlibrary those where removed few years ago completely. From this point only, issue feels that you have Old version of SeleniumLibrary installed and newer selenium that do not work together. I’d suggest to re-install your python environment into virtualenv and then verify that all dependencies are correct. ---

@emma I would say that with that “old” setup, you would need to use an old version of the browser and its corresponding webdriver. We can assume that the new webdriver does not have that function/method, `find_elements_by_xpath` but SeleniumLibrary/Selenium is still calling it. Of course the best solution is to upgrade the tools and libraries. ---

Do you @snehal get the exact same error in the title of this thread? If not, then It is called **thread hijacking** , using an existing topic to talk about a different one/question.
