间歇性StaleElementReferenceException

Question

研究Python的TDD，第5章，Django 1.8，Python 2.7，以及引入CSRF令牌后，事情变得很奇怪。我已经阅读了许多其他文章，并且能够解决大多数问题，但是我在解决这一问题时遇到了麻烦...

我不断收到StaleReferenceException，但无法复制。它间歇性地出现。如果我连续两次运行functional_test.py，则测试最终将按预期返回...

我不确定这是时间问题还是其他问题。关于如何进行追踪的任何想法？

呃...这本书是TLDR！

Unexpected StaleElementException errors from Selenium often mean you have some kind of race condition. You should probably specify an explicit interaction/wait pattern.

它是固定的...
