Selenium just removed that method in version 4.3.0. See the CHANGES: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/a4995e2c096239b42c373f26498a6c9bb4f2b3e7/py/CHANGES
Selenium 4.3.0
* Deprecated find_element_by_* and find_elements_by_* are now removed (#10712)
* Deprecated Opera support has been removed (#10630)
* Fully upgraded from python 2x to 3.7 syntax and features (#10647)
* Added a devtools version fallback mechanism to look for an older version when mismatch occurs (#10749)
* Better support for co-operative multi inheritance by utilising super() throughout
* Improved type hints throughout
You now need to use:
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, THE_CLASS_NAME)
Or without the extra import:
driver.find_element("class name", THE_CLASS_NAME)
For improved reliability, you should consider using WebDriverWait in combination with element_to_be_clickable.
