Selenium Webdriver NoSuchElementException

I am using Selenium webdriver with Python to print the contents an element but if it does not exist on the page it breaks my code and returns an exception error.

print (driver.find_element_by_id("TotalCost").text)


NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element 
{"method":"id","selector":"TotalCost"}

What can i do to fix this error?

Catch the exception in a try...except block:

from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException

try:
    print(driver.find_element_by_id("TotalCost").text)
except NoSuchElementException:
    print("Element not found")    # or whatever you want to print, or nothing

Could also do it this way for clarity:

try:
    elem = driver.find_element_by_id("TotalCost")
except NoSuchElementException:
    pass
else:
    print(elem.text)
