raise TimeoutException(message, screen, stacktrace) TimeoutException: Message:

im new to python and selenium in general and i was trying an example i saw in youtube. this is the code example:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
import unittest 

class LoginTest(unittest.TestCase):

def test_Login(self):
    self.driver = webdriver.Firefox()
    self.driver.get("https://www.facebook.com/")
    driver = self.driver
    facebookUsername = "xxxxxxxx"
    facebookPassword = "xxxxxxxx"

    emailFieldId="email"
    passFieldId ="pass"
    loginButtonXpath="//input[@value='Log in']"
    fbLogoXpath = "(//a[contains(@href,'logo')])[1]"

    emailFieldElement = WebDriverWait(driver, 1).until(lambda driver: driver.find_element_by_id(emailFieldId))
    passFieldElement = WebDriverWait(driver, 1).until(lambda driver: driver.find_element_by_id(passFieldId))
    loginButtonElement = WebDriverWait(driver, 1).until(lambda driver: driver.find_element_by_id(loginButtonXpath))

    emailFieldElement.clear()
    emailFieldElement.send_keys(facebookUsername)
    passFieldElement.clear()
    passFieldElement.send_keys(facebookPassword)
    loginButtonElement.click()
    WebDriverWait(driver, 1).until(lambda driver:     driver.find_element_by_id(fbLogoXpath))
def tearDown(self):
    self.driver.quit()

if __name__ == "__main__":
unittest.main()

when i run the code it enters to facebook, but stops and gives me this error.

ERROR: test_Login (__main__.LoginTest)

For starters, the timeout value is too small, increase it. Plus, you can define the WebDriverWait instance only once and reuse:

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)

emailFieldElement = wait.until(lambda driver: driver.find_element_by_id(emailFieldId))
passFieldElement = wait.until(lambda driver: driver.find_element_by_id(passFieldId))
loginButtonElement = wait.until(lambda driver: driver.find_element_by_xpath(loginButtonXpath))

Also, note that you should use find_element_by_xpath() instead of find_element_by_id() when locating the "Log In" button.
