How I can solve this python selenium problem?

Question

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
mainurl = 'https://austin.craigslist.org/search/cta?s=0'
driver.get(mainurl)

with open('C:/Users/Saba/Desktop/sample.csv', encoding="utf-8") as f:   
    for  i  in f:
        search = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="query"]').send_keys(i)
        submit = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="searchform"]/div[1]/button').click()
        driver.get(mainurl)
        driver.close()

I want to add the second value from my csv file, how I can append second value from my csv file after it makes one.

what exactly are you trying to archive? add to you csv file or read from it and add its data to your browser? — shiny

Yes I'm trying to read from csv file and add data into my browser, but it only adds first row and not others — Saba Shubladze

You close driver as the final step of iteration so that when your loop goes to the second iteration, your browser is closed.

Try to change this:

with open('C:/Users/Saba/Desktop/sample.csv', encoding="utf-8") as f:   
    for  i  in f:
        search = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="query"]').send_keys(i)
        submit = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="searchform"]/div[1]/button').click()
        driver.get(mainurl)
        driver.close()

to this:

with open('C:/Users/Saba/Desktop/sample.csv', encoding="utf-8") as f:   
    for  i  in f:
        search = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="query"]').send_keys(i)
        submit = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="searchform"]/div[1]/button').click()
        driver.get(mainurl)

driver.close()
