Can not find the UI element when using chrome webdriver

Help Robot

So I am working on this data scraping project and I have completed the build and ran it using the native communication method for chrome. I got all the correct data as expected.

BUT, when I switched over to the chrome webdriver communication method I get a " Cannot find the UI element corresponding to this selector " error when clicking on a button on the page. The web browser was not hidden, and I clicked on the “SimulateClick” button for the element I wish to interact with.

What is the problem with the webdriver that it does not find the element I recorded as a click action?

The webdriver method with chrome is buggy, but I believe it works with IE. So you will have to choose which you value more: Chrome or using the WebDriver method.
