From looking at the error message, selenium driver can't find the element.
I'm assuming here but try to add last-child like this [last-child()] instead of just 'last' to locate the button.

9,413 PointsI am following exactly the same as per the video, but it show me unable to locate the element. I tried using direct css and xpath, both giving me the same problem. However, the script work fine if I run with my command prompt. It just not working with Visual code. I tried using all these method below, but not working.
removeButton : By.css("#invitedList li button + button"),
//removeButtonForInvitee : By.css("#invitedList li button + button")
//removeButtonForInvitee : By.xpath("//li/button[2]")
//removeButtonForInvitee : By.xpath("//span[name='Shadd Anderson']/../button[2]");

7,190 PointsCraig Dennis Nathan Menge I am also facing the same problem as FU SOON LEE.
Here is my code.
require("chromedriver")
const selenium = require("selenium-webdriver");
const By = selenium.By;
const driver = new selenium.Builder()
.forBrowser("chrome")
.build();
//driver.get(process.env.URL);
driver.navigate().to("http://port-80-irmajcjpef.treehouse-app.com/");
const locators = {
inviteeForm: By.id("registrar"),
inviteeNameField: By.css("#registrar input[name ='name']"),
togglerescheckbox: By.css(".main >div input"),
removebuttonForinvitees: invitee => By.xpath(`//span [text() = "${invitee}"]/../button[text() = "remove"]`)
};
const invitees = [
'Mohammed Ismail',
'Mohammed Ibrahim',
'Mohammed Arafat',
'Abdul Bari',
'Yahya',
'Mohammed Iqbal'
];
function addInvitee(name) {
driver.findElement(locators.inviteeNameField)
.sendKeys(name);
driver.findElement(locators.inviteeForm).submit();
}
function removeInvitee(invitee) {
driver.findElement(locators.removebuttonForinvitees(invitee))
.click();
}
function toggleres(){
driver.findElement(locators.togglerescheckbox)
.click();
}
invitees.forEach(addInvitee);
removeInvitee("Mohammed Ismail");
//toggleres();
Can you please help me on this - I am stuck on this for days and need a way out.

Treehouse TeacherInteresting note here:
"selector":"//span [text() = "Mohammed Ibrahim"]/../button[2]"
There is a space between the span and the [text().
Not sure what that top spew is either...
