Pyautogui Image non-iterable after working for a while, TypeError: cannot unpack non-iterable NoneType object

Question

python 3.9.7 pyautogui 0.9.53

Having it look for images then moveRel and click but it's doesn't find the image it returns non-iterable

I have done to make sure it's finding the image

  while 1:
            time.sleep(1)
            if pyautogui.locateOnScreen('ScheduledBy.png', confidence=0.8) is not None:
                    print("Found")
            else:
                    print("Nope")

I'm able to find them just fine without false results

            pyautogui.moveRel(245,20)
            time.sleep(.1)
            pyautogui.click()
            time.sleep(.75)

            time.sleep(.1)
            pyautogui.click()
            pyautogui.hotkey('ctrl', 'v')

I tried this solution based on other posts that looked for images, but either I didn't do it right or it didn't work

I can make any small changes to it and it will start working again and stop working after a day.

This post actually had the answer I just didn't understand it.

Python pyautogui bot works for some time and then TypeError: cannot unpack non-iterable NoneType object Solution

I'll try and explain how I solved it, but I'm new to coding so correct me if I'm wrong.

The pyautogui.locateOnScreen produces an output of x,y,w,h and the pyautogui.moveTo would only accept x,y

Two solutions are

You can just use locateCenterOnScreen as it will only produce x,y

or

Define the image

ScheduledBy = pyautogui.locateCenterOnScreen('ScheduledBy.png', confidence=0.8)

You can use locateCenterOnScreen or locateOnScreen

then when you do pyautogui.moveTo(ScheduledBy[0], ScheduledBy[1])

the [0],[1] will grab the first two outputs of locateOnScreen & locateCenterOnScreen

locateOnScreen will have x,y,w,h [0],[1],[2],[3]

I hope this helps someone.
