How to click on a pop-up button with Selenium using Python

I want to click on a popup window but after trying several ways, I obtain a "TimeoutException" error.
This is the code that I'm trying:
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[#class='modal-footer modal-footer-gallit-postula' and #id='modal_comentarios']"))).click()
And I attach an image of the html
For further information, the popup is very similar to the one appearing in the url below after clicking on the green button that says "Postular" (to get the exact popup it's necessary to be logged in). https://trabajo.gallito.com.uy/anuncio/vendedor-automotriz-qm995

The desired element is within a Modal Dialog Box so to click on the clickable element you need 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, "div.modal-footer.modal-footer-gallit-postula > button.btn.btn-primary.btn-color-postula"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[#class='btn btn-primary btn-color-postula' and text()='Aceptar']"))).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 use time.sleep() to handle this. For context:
from selenium import...
import time
driver.get(url)
butn = driver.find_element(by=By.XPATH, value='//*
[#id="postular"]').click()
time.sleep(5)
driver.find_element(by=By.XPATH, value='____').click()

Finding a button with selenium in python

I am trying to create a web application that automately republishes on a site for private sales.
Login and everything went well, but if I try to find and click the republish button it just wont work.
I've tried it with every locator, but the problem is that every button got an uniqe ID.
Example:
<button name="republish" type="button" data-testid="5484xxxxx-republish-button" class="Button__ButtonContainer-sc-3uxxxx-0 hxXxxX">Republish</button>
The last I've tried:
buttons = driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//*[contains(text(), 'Republish')]")
for btn in buttons:
btn.click()
But it also didnt work, same with By.NAME, BY.TAG_NAME

The <button> element looks to be dynamically generated so to click elements you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[data-testid$='republish-button'][name='republish']"))))
Using XPATH:
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[starts-with(#class, 'Button__ButtonContainer') and contains(#data-testid, 'republish-button')][#name='republish' and text()='Republish']"))))
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

Trying to find submit button in elements

im trying to code a steambot in python that will post in steamgroup;Im having problem with last step,
i cant find the sumbit button
<button type="submit" class="btn_green_white_innerfade btn_medium" id="commentthread_General_34191408_submit">
<span>Post Discussion</span>
</button>

To identify the submit button with text as Post Discussion you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
element = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("button.btn_green_white_innerfade.btn_medium[id^='commentthread_General_'][id$='_submit']>span")
Using XPATH:
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[#class='btn_green_white_innerfade btn_medium' and starts-with(#id, 'commentthread_General_')]/span[text()='Post Discussion']")
However, as it is a submit button so moving ahead you will invoke click() on it, so you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following solutions:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button.btn_green_white_innerfade.btn_medium[id^='commentthread_General_'][id$='_submit']>span"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[#class='btn_green_white_innerfade btn_medium' and starts-with(#id, 'commentthread_General_')]/span[text()='Post Discussion']"))).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

Here is your button, works 100%. I checked it locally.
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//button[#type='submit']")

How to click javascript:void(0) link with selenium?

I am using selenium and chrome to automate the clicks of a page with python.
I am getting stuck not being able to click on the following href link:
<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="addSuppData-trigger pts" data-target="edit_3-1" style="padding-right:6px;float:right;">
<i class="material-icons black-text tiny-small">edit</i></a>
I have tried using xpath, css, and linktext to no avail.
sample code:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="row-group-1"]/td[1]/div/div[2]/a/i' ))).click()
The goal is to click the pen, then select the item from the drop down.

The second highlight line is the pen.
html tree

The element seems to be a dynamic element and to click on it you need to induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable and you can use either of the following solutions:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(browser, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a.addSuppData-trigger.pts[data-target^='edit_']>i.material-icons.black-text.tiny-small"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(browser, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[#class='addSuppData-trigger pts' and starts-with(#data-target, 'edit_')]/i[#class='material-icons black-text tiny-small' and contains(., 'edit')]"))).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

How to click on an element through Selenium ActionChain and Python

I am new to Python Selenium. I am stuck with this. Please help me in finding a solution.
I am trying to click this MENU1 using ActionChain.
locator = (By.XPATH, "//div[#title='MENU1']")
text_element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(visibility_of_element_located(locator))
actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.move_to_element(text_element).click().perform()
Below is the HTML:
<div _ngcontent-c0="" class="hyd-group-tree-node-label active" tooltipposition="bottom" title="MENU1">
<span _ngcontent-c0="" class="ui-treenode-inner-icon fa fa-fw fa-building"></span>
MENU1
</div>
Everything runs fine. No errors.
It moves to the element but I am not able to see the click movement.
I am not sure what I am missing. I tried with text_element.click() but it is not working. I tried in both Chrome and Firefox.
Thank you

The desired element is a Angular element so invoke click() you need to induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable and you can use either of the following solutions:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.hyd-group-tree-node-label.active[title='MENU1']>span.ui-treenode-inner-icon.fa.fa-fw.fa-building"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[#class='hyd-group-tree-node-label active' and #title='MENU1']/span[#class='ui-treenode-inner-icon fa fa-fw fa-building']"))).click()
If you still want to use ActionChains you can use either of the following solutions:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.hyd-group-tree-node-label.active[title='MENU1']>span.ui-treenode-inner-icon.fa.fa-fw.fa-building")))).click().perform()
Using XPATH:
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[#class='hyd-group-tree-node-label active' and #title='MENU1']/span[#class='ui-treenode-inner-icon fa fa-fw fa-building']")))).click().perform()
