[🐛 Bug]: Missing code from getting_started/first_script page

[DevLoggith]

What happened?

In going through the documentation to set up my Seleium project, I noticed on the "getting started/first issue" page that there is a missing line of code needed to demonstrate requesting element information (under section 7). The web page is missing the line:

message = driver.find_element(by=By.ID, value="message")

before text = message.text. It is present however in the first_script.py file in the repo on line18. This omission seems to be present for all of the code examples on the web page (Java, Python, CSharp, Ruby, JavaScript, Kotlin).

An additional thought

It might also be help first-timers to explicitly state on the web page what imports are needed also, but not sure if that should be rolled out into a separate issue.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

What browsers and operating systems are you seeing the problem on?

Just to make sure it wasn't a rendering issue, I've tested this on:

Browsers

• Firefox (Version 135.0.1)
• Chrome (Version 133.0.6943.142)
• Edge (Version 133.0.3065.92)
• Safari (Version 18.3)

OS

• Windows (Build 19045.5555)
• MacOS (Sequoia 15.3.1)

Hello @DevLoggith,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

The initial documentation could indeed be somewhat confusing for newcomers.
Fixed with commit 7eecdbd.

Thanks,
Sri
