I have tried to use xpath css selector id and class name
but always get error selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: Unable to locate element:
Is there anyone who can help me Please!
you might be able to use the find_element_by_partial_link_text or find_element_by_link_text functions.
Try using this link for an idea on how to use it. Link
There are 4 ways to click in Selenium.
I will use this xpath
//span[contains(text(), 'about us')]//parent::a[#id='about_page']
Code trial 1 :
time.sleep(5)
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[contains(text(), 'about us')]//parent::a[#id='about_page']").click()
Code trial 2 :
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[contains(text(), 'about us')]//parent::a[#id='about_page']"))).click()
Code trial 3 :
time.sleep(5)
button = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[contains(text(), 'about us')]//parent::a[#id='about_page']")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", button)
Code trial 4 :
time.sleep(5)
button = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[contains(text(), 'about us')]//parent::a[#id='about_page']")
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(button).click().perform()

Actually, i have a script with python 3.10, selenium, undetected-chromedriver and i want to click on two buttons on this webpage:
https://keepa.com/#!
Buttons are french flag, and ".fr" here:
And html code for these two buttons are here:
-first highlighted is flag fr
-second is country ".fr"
I've tested somes part of script, but not work actually:
For language flag fr:
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "(//span[#id='lang_fr'])").click()
driver.find_element(By.ID,"lang_fr").click()
For country .fr:
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "(//span[#setting='4'])").click()
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "(.//span[contains(text(), '.fr')])").click()
I have somes errors on results, "element not found", or this:
selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable
Anyone can help me or have an idea where is the problem please?
Thanks for help, bye!
You have to click on default flag first and then there will be 2 button which you can click like below:
Code:
driver_path = r'C:\\Users\\****\\***\\Desktop\\Automation\\chromedriver.exe'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(driver_path)
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get("https://keepa.com/#!")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 30)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div#currentLanguage .languageMenuText"))).click()
flag = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "img#lang_fr")))
flag.click()
lang = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//span[text()='.fr']")))
lang.click()
Imports:
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
You can try the below code it will help you (this is using java though, ).
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
WebElement ctr;
ctr= driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(text(),'YOUR DESIRED TEXT')]"));
Thread.sleep(1000);
actions.click(spatial).perform();
I have a button
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default waves-effect waves-light"><i class="fa fa-search" aria-hidden="true"></i></button>
I have already tested all this but without success
# browser.find_element_by_class_name('fa fa-search').click()
# browser.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[4]/div/form/div/button').click()
# WebDriverWait(browser, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="RechAvFormRadio"]/div/button'))).click()
Try with css selector like this :
button.btn.btn-default.waves-effect.waves-light
or xpath
//button[contains(#class,'btn btn-default waves-effect waves-light')]
or
//i[contains(#class,'fa fa-search')]/parent::button
PS : Please check in the dev tools (Google chrome) if we have unique entry in HTML DOM or not.
Steps to check:
Press F12 in Chrome -> go to element section -> do a CTRL + F -> then paste the xpath and see, if your desired element is getting highlighted with 1/1 matching node.
Code trial 1 :
time.sleep(5)
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//i[contains(#class,'fa fa-search')]/parent::button").click()
Code trial 2 :
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//i[contains(#class,'fa fa-search')]/parent::button"))).click()

despite numerous tries I'm unable to perform the following action(s).
I need to land on a page that contains one or more table rows/columns. For each (sequentially) I need to click on an arrow that opens a pop-up, close the window, then rinse and repeat.
Problem: I am unable to click on the item
Error:
class 'selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException'
Snippet of code that prompts the error:
[...]
driver = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver.exe')
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument("--incognito")
# MODIFY URL HERE
driver.get(url)
[..]
try:
# arf = driver.find_element_by_name("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_d_dettaglio_ctl02_button1").click()
arf = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[#id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_d_dettaglio_ctl02_button1"]').click()
pprint.pprint(arf)
except NoSuchElementException:
print ("error!", NoSuchElementException)
driver.close()
exit()
HTML element I need to interact with:
<td align="center">
<input type="image" name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$d_dettaglio$ctl02$button1" id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_d_dettaglio_ctl02_button1" src="../images/spunta_maggiore.gif" style="height:22px;width:22px;border-width:0px;">
</td>
Things I've tried:
driver.find_element_by_xpath (//input[#id etc...]) or driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[#name])
driver.find_element_by_name("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_d_dettaglio_ctl02_button1").click()
driver.find_element_by_id("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_d_dettaglio_ctl02_button1").click()
In both cases, a no element found exception is raised.
What am I doing wrong ?
The desired element is a dynamic element so to click on the element you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input[type='image'][name*='ContentPlaceHolder'][id*='d_dettaglio'][src*='images/spunta_maggiore']"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[contains(#name, 'ContentPlaceHolder') and contains(#id, 'd_dettaglio')][#type='image' and contains(#src, 'images/spunta_maggiore.gif')]"))).click()
Note : You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

You can find a couple of relevant discussions on NoSuchElementException in:
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element while trying to click Next button with selenium

i tried so many xpath in selenium but all were unable to click the element and always give me a error element not found or element not interactable
how to solve it any help would be appreciated
Here is xpath of the Element is give Below:
(//a[#href='javascript:void(0)' and #class='select2-choice select2-default'])[1]
Try with ".//*[#id='s2id_search_input']/a"
Wait for element to be clickable before click on it:
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
# ...
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#s2id_search_input a.select2-choice'))).click()
With scroll:
element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#s2id_search_input a.select2-choice')))
driver.execute_script('arguments[0].scrollIntoView()', element)
element.click()
Click using JavaScript:
element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#s2id_search_input a.select2-choice')))
driver.execute_script('arguments[0].click()', element)
I’m trying to click an Upload from my Computer button on a page that has the source below.
I’m using selenium and tried several different approaches. The past failed approaches are commented out below, along with the current failed approach. The error that’s returned with the current approach is below.
Can anyone see what the issue might be and suggest how to solve it? I’m new to selenium so if someone can provide some explanation of what the html is doing and how their code solves the issue as well it would be really helpful for my understanding.
HTML code of the button:
<div class="hidden-xs">
<label for="fuUploadFromMyComputer" class="hidden">
Upload from my Computer
</label>
<input id="fuUploadFromMyComputer" type="file" name="upload">
<button id="btnUploadFromMyComputer"
class="center-block btn btn-white-fill btn-block "
data-resume-type="COMPUTER" type="submit">
<i class="zmdi zmdi-desktop-mac"></i>
Upload from my Computer
</button>
</div>
attempts:
# clicking upload button
# upload_btn = driver.find_element_by_id("fuUploadFromMyComputer")
# upload_btn = driver.find_element_by_css_selector(
# '.center-block.btn.btn-white-fill.btn-block')
# upload_btn = driver.find_element_by_link_text('Upload from my Computer')
# upload_btn.click()

To click on the element with text as Upload from my Computer you need to induce WebDriverwait for the element to be clickable and you can use either of the following solutions:

Selenium's click() does not support to operate on invisible element. Thus please double confirm the button is visible or not when your code intend to click it.
If the button is not visible, how do you click it hands-on? Thus change your script to following the human steps to make the button visible before you can click it.
Back to your failure on below code
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(
(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.center-block btn.btn-white-fill.btn-block"))).click()
The reason is you give a wrong css selector which can't find any element from the page util reach the waiting timeout.
The correct css selector of the button can be any one of following:
button.center-block.btn.btn-white-fill.btn-block
button#btnUploadFromMyComputer
For C#, I used IJavaScriptExecutor to click on element. You may search this solution for Python syntax
public static void scrollElementToClick(IWebDriver driver, IWebElement element)
{
IJavaScriptExecutor ex = (IJavaScriptExecutor)driver;
ex.ExecuteScript("arguments[0].click();", element);
}
