from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
import time

driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get("https://covid-19-dc.herokuapp.com/");
wait = WebDriverWait(driver,120)
wait.until(EC.visibility_of((driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//p[@id='new_case']"))))
new_cases = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//p[@id='new_case']")
print(new_cases.text)
driver.quit()

Answer 1

You don't need to use find_element in visibility_of, use visibility_of_element_located instead. find_element is executed internally, so the returned value is the WebElement you waited for

new_cases = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//p[@id='new_case']"))
