An exception occurs when my program can't find the element its looking for, I want to log the event within the CSV, Display a message the error occurred and continue. I have successfully logged the event in the CSV and display the message, Then my program jumps out of the loop and stops. How can I instruct python to continue. Please check out my code.
sites = ['TCF00670','TCF00671','TCF00672','TCF00674','TCF00675','TCF00676','TCF00677']`
with open('list4.csv','wb') as f:
writer = csv.writer(f)
try:
for s in sites:
adrs = "http://turnpikeshoes.com/shop/" + str(s)
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()
driver.get(adrs)
time.sleep(5)
LongDsc = driver.find_element_by_class_name("productLongDescription").text
print "Working.." + str(s)
writer.writerows([[LongDsc]])
except:
writer.writerows(['Error'])
print ("Error Logged..")
pass
driver.quit()
print "Complete."

Just put the try/except block inside the loop. And there is no need in that pass statement at the end of the except block.
with open('list4.csv','wb') as f:
writer = csv.writer(f)
for s in sites:
try:
adrs = "http://turnpikeshoes.com/shop/" + str(s)
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()
driver.get(adrs)
time.sleep(5)
LongDsc = driver.find_element_by_class_name("productLongDescription").text
print "Working.." + str(s)
writer.writerows([[LongDsc]])
except:
writer.writerows(['Error'])
print ("Error Logged..")
NOTE It's generally a bad practice to use except without a particular exception class, e.g. you should do except Exception:...
