selenium webdriver angular Python

Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. I'm working with an scenario where my Selenium WebDriver tests unexpected result to switch to an iframe that is dynamically loaded in my Angular application. The iframe appears after a button click, but when I try to switch to it using WebDriver, I get a `NoSuchElementException`. I've tried different waits but the iframe still isn't recognized. Here's what I've implemented so far: ```python from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC # Initialize the WebDriver driver = webdriver.Chrome() # Open the application driver.get('http://my-angular-app.com') # Click the button that triggers the loading of the iframe button = driver.find_element(By.ID, 'load-iframe-button') button.click() # Wait for the iframe to become available try: WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.ID, 'my-iframe'))) except Exception as e: print(f"behavior switching to iframe: {str(e)}") ``` The button click is successful, but when the wait for the iframe occurs, it doesn't seem to detect it. I even added a `time.sleep(5)` before the switch to ensure that the iframe has time to load fully, but it doesn't help. The console shows that the iframe is indeed part of the DOM when I inspect it after the click, but WebDriver still throws the exception. I've also tried using different ways to locate the iframe, such as `By.XPATH` and `By.CSS_SELECTOR`, but they yield the same outcome. Any suggestions on how to reliably switch to this iframe in my Angular application? Am I missing something in my approach? I recently upgraded to Python latest. Thanks for any help you can provide!
