Selenium Webdriver Python AttributeError type object has no attribute

Question

I am getting the following error in my Python Selenium Webdriver script.

Error
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Webdriver\ClearCore 501\TestCases\VariablesPage_TestCase.py", line 87, in test_add_variables
    variablesPage = projectnavigator.select_projectNavigator_item("Variables") # Select the Variables link from the left hand Project Navigator, it returns the Variables page object
  File "C:\Webdriver\ClearCore 501\Menus\project_navigator.py", line 24, in select_projectNavigator_item
    variables_projectnavigator_link = self.driver.find_element(*MainPageLocators.variables_project_navigator_link2).click()
AttributeError: type object 'MainPageLocators' has no attribute 'variables_project_navigator_link2'

I think it is because the class has not been instantiated. You cannot access a member variable without an instance of the class. I think I have instantiated my class like this:

projectnavigator = project_navigator.ProjectNavigatorPage(self.driver)

I do not know why I am getting the error.

My code snippet is as follows:

class ProjectNavigatorPage

    # This class defines the methods for the the ClearCore left hand project navigator
# i.e. Selecting the Data Objects, Datasets, Variables, Feeds, Mappings, Data Previews etc

import time
from Pages.base import BasePage
#from Pages.login import LoginPage
from Pages.admin import AdministrationPage
from Locators.locators import MainPageLocators
from Pages.variables import VariablesPage

class ProjectNavigatorPage(BasePage):

    # Select an item from the Project Navigator  e.g. Data Objects tab, Datasets, Variables etc
    def select_projectNavigator_item(self, menu_item):
        if menu_item == "Data Objects":
            #LoginPage.clickAdministration()
            #self.clickAdministration(self)
            pass
        elif menu_item == "Datasets":
            pass
        elif menu_item == "Variables":
            variables_projectnavigator_link = self.driver.find_element(*MainPageLocators.variables_project_navigator_link2).click()
            return VariablesPage(self.driver)

        elif menu_item == "Feeds":
            pass
        elif menu_item == "Mappings":
            pass
        elif menu_item == "Data Previews":
            pass

Answer 1

There is a spelling/typo mistake while declaring variable

variables_projet_navigator_link2 = (By.XPATH, 'html/body/div[2]/div[2]/div/div[4]/div/div[2]/div/div[3]/div/div[5]/div/div[3]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div/div/div/div[1]/div/div[2]/div/div[1]/div[3]/div[1]/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/span')

variables_projet_navigator_link2 should be variables_project_navigator_link2
