How can i perform explicit wait for elements inside a for loop?

I'm trying to come up with a script that clicks multiple elements on a page. I've created a for loop to try and loop through the elements clicking them all. However when the loop tries to click the following element i got the error (The element is stale)

I've tried using an explicit wait for element, but have yet to figure how to put it to work


for i in driver.find_elements_by_class_name('marginright5.link.linkWithHash.detailsLink'):

        i.click().WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((i))
        driver.back()

Hopefully you can help me figure out what went wrong with my code. Using it like this i get a syntax error, not sure why.

It seem like you need combination between element_to_be_clickable with invisibility_of_element_located.

So after you click each element you need make sure the element invisible then you can call driver.back.

for i in driver.find_elements_by_class_name('marginright5.link.linkWithHash.detailsLink'):
    WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(i))
    i.click()
    WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(EC.invisibility_of_element_located(i))
    driver.back()
