I am trying to search a webpage for a link text and I'm trying to make the program respond without an error if the item is not found and move onto something else.
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
hasElementQ = True
while True:
try:
elem = browser.find_element_by_link_text('pant')
break
except NoSuchElementException:
print ('it doesnt exist')
This is the error I receive:
except NoSuchElementException:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
python selenium exception selenium-webdriver error-handling

Please format your code properly, especially since it's a syntax error.

To format code you have to mark it (select it) and press ctrl+k, or add 4 spaces in the biggining of each line, native indentation in your code have to be saved. Additionally read about indentations: peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1312792&seqNum=3

Your except needs to be at the same indentation level as your try
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
hasElementQ = True
while True:
try:
elem = browser.find_element_by_link_text('pant')
break
except NoSuchElementException:
print ('it doesnt exist')
