Fixes #15693
And partly addresses #15697

💥 What does this PR do?

Exposes session_id from driver within WebElement for cases when WebElement is used to create WebDriverWait instances.

🔧 Implementation Notes

This seemed like the least intrusive way to avoid attribute error when accessing WebDriverWait.__repr__.

💡 Additional Considerations

🔄 Types of changes

• Cleanup (formatting, renaming)
• Bug fix (backwards compatible)
• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality and tests!)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)

Thank you, @bandophahita for this code suggestion.

The support packages contain example code that many users find helpful, but they do not necessarily represent
the best practices for using Selenium, and the Selenium team is not currently merging changes to them.

We actively encourage people to add the wrapper and helper code that makes sense for them to their own frameworks.

⚡ Recommended focus areas for review Variable Initialization The exceptions variable is now type-annotated but not initialized before use. This could cause a NameError if ignored_exceptions is None. exceptions: list = list(IGNORED_EXCEPTIONS) if ignored_exceptions: try: exceptions.extend(iter(ignored_exceptions)) except TypeError: # ignored_exceptions is not iterable exceptions.append(ignored_exceptions)

Category	Suggestion	Impact
Possible issue	Add error handling Add error handling for cases where _parent might not have a session_id attribute. This prevents potential AttributeError exceptions when accessing the property with incompatible parent objects. py/selenium/webdriver/remote/webelement.py [82-84] @property def session_id(self) -> str: - return self._parent.session_id + if hasattr(self._parent, 'session_id'): + return self._parent.session_id + return "" Apply / Chat Suggestion importance[1-10]: 5 __ Why: The suggestion proposes adding a hasattr check to prevent an AttributeError if self._parent lacks a session_id. This improves the robustness of the session_id property, particularly for its use in __repr__. However, the absence of session_id on a parent object in Selenium usually indicates a more significant underlying issue, and returning an empty string might mask this. The improvement is moderately beneficial.	Low

Category	Suggestion	Impact
Possible issue	Handle missing parent attribute Handle the case where _parent might not have a session_id attribute. This could happen if the parent object is not properly initialized or is of an unexpected type, leading to potential AttributeError. py/selenium/webdriver/remote/webelement.py [82-84] @property def session_id(self) -> str: - return self._parent.session_id + if hasattr(self._parent, 'session_id'): + return self._parent.session_id + return "" Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6 __ Why: The suggestion correctly points out a potential AttributeError if self._parent does not have a session_id. Adding a hasattr check improves the robustness of the new session_id property, especially as it's used in __repr__.	Low
