Selenium not clicking element, when in a loop - python-3.x

Question

The code is working itself, but when thrown to loop not working anymore.
driver.get("https://www.esky.pl/okazje/16578/WMI-EDI-FR")
i = 1
departure_date_clickable = False
while departure_date_clickable == False:
try:
time.sleep(5)
xpath ="/html/body/div[4]/div[3]/div/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[4]/div/div[{}]".format(i)
find_ele = driver.find_element_by_xpath(xpath)
find_ele.click()
print("Departure:Found clickable date on " + str(i))
departure_date_clickable = True
except WebDriverException:
print("Departure date not clickable, checking next day")
i += 1
continue
I expect to click first element able to be clicked from the calendar. But for some reason it's problem for selenium when in loop.
Code that's working:
xpath = "/html/body/div[4]/div[3]/div/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[4]/div/div[{}]".format("4")
find_ele = driver.find_element_by_xpath(xpath)
time.sleep(2)
find_ele.click()

I recommend identifying clickable divs by a class attribute unique to those divs. It looks like all the "clickable" links have a class called "offer" so you could add an if else condition to check each element for that class. I also added a termination condition to your loop since there are 35 divs in the block.
driver.get("https://www.esky.pl/okazje/16578/WMI-EDI-FR")
i = 1
departure_date_clickable = False
while departure_date_clickable == False and i <= 35:
try:
time.sleep(1)
xpath ="/html/body/div[4]/div[3]/div/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[4]/div/div[{}]".format(i)
find_ele = driver.find_element_by_xpath(xpath)
if "offer" in find_ele.get_attribute("class").split(" "):
find_ele.click()
print("Departure:Found clickable date on " + str(i))
departure_date_clickable = True
else:
raise error()
except:
print("Departure date not clickable, checking next day")
i += 1
continue

Please find below solution, There are few issues observed while iterating through a list element. Kindly note if you want to select any specific departure date then you need to put that condition in the for loop. At the moment as per your above code we are just click all departure dates
from selenium.common.exceptions import WebDriverException
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import time
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait as Wait
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
driver = webdriver.Chrome('C:\New folder\chromedriver.exe')
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get("https://www.esky.pl/okazje/16578/WMI-EDI-FR")
i = 1
departure_date_clickable = False
while departure_date_clickable == False:
try:
xpath = WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(EC.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//div[#id='departure-calendar']//div[#class='month-days']/div/div")))
for value in xpath:
value.click()
departure_date_clickable = True
except WebDriverException:

I had the same problem in R while using selenium, I found that running the command to click twice sequentially within the loop works.
When the click was only present once it seemed to highlight the element, but not click on it.
While the language is different, the logic might hold.
I have provided the code below in a kind of pseudo form so the logic can be seen.
The loop would iterate over different webpages within a list (represented by 'list') with the same element (represented by '[xpath]') to be clicked in each webpage in turn.
library(RSelenium) # load package
# set up the driver
fprof <-getFirefoxProfile('[pathtoprofile]', useBase = TRUE)
rd <- rsDriver(browser = "firefox", port = 4567L,
extraCapabilities = fprof
)
ffd <- rd$client
for (i in 1:length(list)){
ffd$open() # open the browser
ffd$navigate(list[i]) # navigate to page
Sys.sleep(10) # wait
ffd$findElement("xpath", '[xpath]')$clickElement() # click element first time
ffd$findElement("xpath", '[xpath]')$clickElement() # click element second time
Sys.sleep(5) # wait
ffd$close() # close the browser
}

You can get all departure days with offer using:
driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("#departure-calendar .cell-day.number.offer")
For arrival calendar:
driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("#arrival-calendar .cell-day.number.offer")
Code below click on each day with offer in departure calendar and print the date:
driver.get("https://www.esky.pl/okazje/16578/WMI-EDI-FR")
departure_days = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("#departure-calendar .cell-day.number.offer")
for departure_day in departure_days:
departure_day.click()
# print selected date
print(departure_day.get_attribute("data-qa-date"))

Answer 5

If you are just looking for the first available date, you can use the CSS selector below
div.cell-day.offer
Your code would look like
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver.get("https://www.esky.pl/okazje/16578/WMI-EDI-FR")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.cell-day.offer"))).click()
