selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":".ui flu~"}


This is the code I use:

import requests as r, sys as sus, bs4 as bs, webbrowser as wb
from selenium import webdriver as wd

dr = wd.Chrome()

b = r.get("https://uupdump.net/fetchupd.php?arch=amd64&ring=wif&build=latest").text
s = bs.BeautifulSoup(b, features="html.parser")

if "/selectlang.php?id=" in b:
    l = b.split("/selectlang.php?id=")[1].split('"')[0]
    u = f"https://uupdump.net/download.php?id={l}&pack=es-es&edition=professional"
    print(u)
    b = r.get(u).text
    s = bs.BeautifulSoup(b, features="html.parser")
    print(s)
    dr.get(u)
    b = dr.find_element_by_class_name('ui fluid right labeled icon primary button')

And this is the error:

uupdump.py:17: DeprecationWarning: find_element_by_* commands are deprecated. Please use find_element() instead
  b = dr.find_element_by_class_name('ui fluid right labeled icon primary button')

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":".ui fluid right labeled icon primary button"}

I want to use Selenium to find a button by its class name from uupdump.net, to download the latest version zip file.
