Scroll on a specific DIV Element to the bottom in Python Selenium

I'm trying to do a simple Python Selenium automation on a website while the website is blocked by a dialog which needs to scroll down to see all the paragraph so as to pass into the website.
I tried to use the code below to scroll the paragraph, but unsuccessful.
driver = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver')
driver.maximize_window()
driver.implicitly_wait(30)
driver.get('https://www.fidelity.com.hk/en/our-funds/mpf')
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'div[data-action="button68"]'))).click()
time.sleep(1)
ele =driver.find_element_by_css_selector('.content-scrolling-behavior')
driver.execute_script("return arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", ele)
html capture
I would appreciate any feedback on how to consistently select an option from the dropdown noted in the code provided. And here is the website I looking at: https://www.fidelity.com.hk/en/our-funds/mpf

You can scroll using ActionChain like this :
also, in that div, there are 27 li tags, so I am doing xpath indexing and then one by one I am moving driver focus to those li.
Sample code :
driver.implicitly_wait(30)
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get("https://www.fidelity.com.hk/en/our-funds/mpf")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'div[data-action="button68"]'))).click()
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.container")))
list_size = len(wait.until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//ul[#class='list']/li"))))
print(list_size)
j = 1
for i in range(list_size):
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, f"(//ul[#class='list']/li)[{j}]")))).perform()
j = j + 1
time.sleep(1)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div[class$='btn-confirm']"))).click()

This should work
ele =driver.find_element_by_css_selector('div.content-scrolling-behavior')
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollTop = arguments[0].scrollHeight", ele)
UPD
Try this instead:
ele =driver.find_element_by_css_selector('div.container')
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollTop = arguments[0].scrollHeight", ele)

using selenium.click() to change pages but gets error

I'm trying to click on a div to get to the next page of a table (the url does not change when the page changes). The go to the next page div has the same class as the go to the previous page's.
ive used:
elem = driver.find_element_by_class_name('cXQSjq')
elem.click()
timeout = 30
try:
WebDriverWait(driver, timeout).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "gxzFwa")))
except TimeoutException:
driver.quit()
names = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('iBSZGH')
for company in names[1:]:
name.append(company.text)
mostdata = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('gvgMSe.gJYnHB')
for most in mostdata:
most = most.text
most = most.replace(',','')
data.append(most)
last7dsales = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('fGpHsy.kpsxyE')
for last in last7dsales:
last = last.text
last = last.replace(',','')
last7day.append(last)
#loop for the other pages:
for i in range(6):
elem.click()
timeout = 30
try:
WebDriverWait(driver, timeout).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "gxzFwa")))
except TimeoutException:
driver.quit()
names = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('iBSZGH')
for company in names[1:]:
name.append(company.text)
mostdata = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('gvgMSe.gJYnHB')
for most in mostdata:
most = most.text.replace(',','')
most = most.text.replace(',','')
data.append(most)
last7dsales = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('fGpHsy.kpsxyE')
for last in last7dsales:
last = last.text.replace(',','')
last7day.append(last)
and it worked to get me to page 2, but after page 2 it gives me the error:
selenium.common.exceptions.ElementClickInterceptedException: Message: element click
intercepted: Element <div class="styles__Chevron-sc-1buchb9-1 cXQSjq">...</div> is
not clickable at point (702, 656). Other element would receive the click: <div
id="hs-eu-cookie-confirmation-inner">...</div>
(Session info: chrome=92.0.4515.107)
Do you know if there is an issue that i am able to call elem.click() after using selenium to find other parts of the page. I'm scraping data from
https://nonfungible.com/market/history

I guess the issue here is that the next page button appears on the bottom of the page, so to click on it you should first scroll this element into the view.
See if this will work now:
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
actions = ActionChains(driver)
elem = driver.find_element_by_class_name('cXQSjq')
actions.move_to_element(elem).perform()
time.sleep(0.3)
elem.click()
timeout = 30
try:
WebDriverWait(driver, timeout).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "gxzFwa")))
except TimeoutException:
driver.quit()
names = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('iBSZGH')
for company in names[1:]:
name.append(company.text)
mostdata = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('gvgMSe.gJYnHB')
for most in mostdata:
most = most.text
most = most.replace(',','')
data.append(most)
last7dsales = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('fGpHsy.kpsxyE')
for last in last7dsales:
last = last.text
last = last.replace(',','')
last7day.append(last)
#loop for the other pages:
for i in range(6):
actions.move_to_element(elem).perform()
time.sleep(0.3)
elem.click()
timeout = 30
try:
WebDriverWait(driver, timeout).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "gxzFwa")))
except TimeoutException:
driver.quit()
names = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('iBSZGH')
for company in names[1:]:
name.append(company.text)
mostdata = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('gvgMSe.gJYnHB')
for most in mostdata:
most = most.text.replace(',','')
most = most.text.replace(',','')
data.append(most)
last7dsales = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('fGpHsy.kpsxyE')
for last in last7dsales:
last = last.text.replace(',','')
last7day.append(last)
I didn't check correctness of the rest of your code, but clicking the next button should work now

In selenium how to find out the exact number of XPATH links with different ids?

With Python3 and selenium I want to automate the search on a public information site. In this site it is necessary to enter the name of a person, then select the spelling chosen for that name (without or with accents or name variations), access a page with the list of lawsuits found and in this list you can access the page of each case.
from selenium import webdriver

Check how many pages of data there are - to be used in "for range"
capta = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="idDivBlocoPaginacaoTopo"]/div/span/span[2]').text
print(capta)
paginas = int(re.search(r'\d+', capta).group(0))
paginas = int(paginas) + 1
print(paginas)

for acumula in range(1, paginas):
# Fill the field with the page number and press enter

driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="idDivBlocoPaginacaoTopo"]/div/span/span[2]/input').send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
time.sleep(2)

# Iterate from found number of processes
for item in range(2, qt):
# Find the XPATH of each process link - start at number 2
vez = '//*[#id="idBlocoInternoLinhasProcesso"]/div[' + str(item) + ']/span[1]/span[1]/span[1]/span[2]/a'
print(vez)
# Access the direct link and click
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, vez)))
element.click()
# Run tests to get data
try:
num_unico = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="idProcessoDetalhesBloco1"]/div[6]/span[2]/a').text
except NoSuchElementException:
num_unico = "sem_numero_unico"
try:
nome_proc = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="idSpanClasseDescricao"]').text
except NoSuchElementException:
nome_proc = "sem_nome_encontrado"
try:
data_autu = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="idProcessoDetalhesBloco1"]/div[5]/span[2]').text
except NoSuchElementException:
data_autu = "sem_data_encontrada"
# Fills dictionary and list
dicionario = {"num_unico": num_unico,
"nome_proc": nome_proc,
"data_autu": data_autu
}
processos.append(dicionario)
# Return a page to click on next process
driver.execute_script("window.history.go(-1)")
# Close driver
driver.quit()
In this case I captured the number of link pages (3) and the total number of links (84). So my initial idea was to do the "for" three times and within them split the 84 links
The direct address of each link is in XPATH (//*[#id="idBlocoInternoLinhasProcesso"]/div[41]/span[1]/span[1]/span[1]/span[2]/a) which I replace with the "item" to click
For example, when it arrives at number 42 I have an error because the first page only goes up to 41
My problem is how to go to the second page and then restart only "for" secondary
I think the ideal would be to know the exact number of links on each of the three pages
Anyone have any ideas?

Code below is "Capture routine":
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
#...
while True:
links = wait.until(EC.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//span[contains(#class,'classSpanNumeroRegistro')]")))
print("links len", len(links))
for i in range(1, len(links) + 1):
# Access the direct link and click
.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, f"(//span[contains(#class,'classSpanNumeroRegistro')])[{i}]//a"))).click()
# Run tests to get data
try:
num_unico = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="idProcessoDetalhesBloco1"]/div[6]/span[2]/a').text
except NoSuchElementException:
num_unico = "sem_numero_unico"
try:
nome_proc = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="idSpanClasseDescricao"]').text
except NoSuchElementException:
nome_proc = "sem_nome_encontrado"
try:
data_autu = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="idProcessoDetalhesBloco1"]/div[5]/span[2]').text
except NoSuchElementException:
data_autu = "sem_data_encontrada"
# Fills dictionary and list
dicionario = {"num_unico": num_unico,
"nome_proc": nome_proc,
"data_autu": data_autu
}
processos.append(dicionario)
# Return a page to click on next process
driver.execute_script("window.history.go(-1)")
# wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "classSpanPaginacaoImagensDireita")))
next_page = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector(".classSpanPaginacaoProximaPagina")
if len(next_page) == 0:
break
next_page[0].click()

You can try run the loop until next button is present on the screen. the logic will look like this,
try:
next_page = driver.find_element_by_class_name('classSpanPaginacaoProximaPagina')
if(next_page.is_displayed()):
next_page.click()
except NoSuchElementException:
print('next page does not exists')

looping through a dropdown menu using Selenium and Python

I'm trying to loop through a dropdown menu on at this url: https://www.accuform.com/safety-sign/danger-danger-authorized-personnel-only-MADM006
So, for example, the first dropdown menu - under options - lists out different materials and I want to select each one in turn and then gather some other information from the webpage before moving on to the next material. Here is my current code:
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('https://www.accuform.com/safety-sign/danger-danger-authorized-personnel-only-MADM006')
time.sleep(3)
driver.find_element_by_id('x-mark-icon').click()
select = Select(driver.find_element_by_name('Wiqj7mb4rsAq9LB'))
options = select.options
optionsList = []
driver.find_elements_by_class_name('select-wrapper')[0].click()
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select[#name='Wiqj7mb4rsAq9LB']")
actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.move_to_element(element).perform()
# driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", element)
for option in options: #iterate over the options, place attribute value in list
optionsList.append(option.get_attribute("value"))
for optionValue in optionsList:
print("starting loop on option %s" % optionValue)
# select = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//select[#name='Wiqj7mb4rsAq9LB']")))
# select = Select(select)
select.select_by_value(optionValue)
I started with just the loop, but got this error:
ElementNotInteractableException: Message: Element <option> could not be scrolled into view
I then added the webdriverwait and get a TimeoutException error.
I then realized I should probably click on the wrapper in which the dropdown is held, so I added the click, which does pup up the menu, but I still got the TimeoutException.
So I thought, maybe I should move to the element, which I tried with the action chain lines and I got this error
WebDriverException: Message: TypeError: rect is undefined
I tried to avoid that error by using this code instead:
# driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", element)
Which just resulted in the timeoutexception again.
I pretty new to Python and Selenium and have basically just been modifying code from SO answers to similar questions, but nothing has worked.
I'm using python 3.6 and the current versions of Selenium and firefox webdriver.
If anything is unclear or if you need more info just let me know.
Thanks so much!
EDIT: Based on the answer and comments by Kajal Kunda, I've updated my code to the following:
`material_dropdown = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[#class='select-
dropdown']")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", material_dropdown)
materials=driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("div.select-wrapper
ul.dropdown-content li")
for material in materials:
# material_dropdown =
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[#class='select-dropdown']")
# driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", material_dropdown)
# materials=driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("div.select-wrapper ul.dropdown-content li")
material_ele=material.find_element_by_tag_name('span')
if material_ele.text!='':
material_ele.click()
time.sleep(5)
price = driver.find_element_by_class_name("dataPriceDisplay")
print(price.text)`
The result is that it successfully prints the price for the first type of material, but then it returns:
StaleElementReferenceException: Message: The element reference of <li class=""> is stale;...
I've tried variations of having the hashed out lines in and outside of the loop, but always get a version of the StaleElementReferenceException error.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

You could do the whole thing with requests. Grab the drop down list from the options listed in drop down then concatenate the value attributes into requests url that retrieves json containing all the info on the page. Same principle applies for adding in other dropdown values. The ids for each drop down selection are the value attributes of the options in the drop down and appear in the url I show separated by // for each drop down selection.
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
url = 'https://www.accuform.com/product/getSku/danger-danger-authorized-personnel-only-MADM006/1/false/null//{}//WHFIw3xXmQx8zlz//6wr93DdrFo5JV//WdnO0RpwKpc4fGF'
startURL = 'https://www.accuform.com/safety-sign/danger-danger-authorized-personnel-only-MADM006'
res = requests.get(startURL)
soup = bs(res.content, 'lxml')
materials = [item['value'] for item in soup.select('#Wiqj7mb4rsAq9LB option')]
sizes = [item['value'] for item in soup.select('#WvXESrTyQjM3Ciw option')]
languages = [item['value'] for item in soup.select('#WUYWGMePtpmpmhy option')]
units = [item['value'] for item in soup.select('#W91eqaJ0WPXwe9b option')]
for material in materials:
data = requests.get(url.format(material)).json()
soup = bs(data['dataMaterialBullets'], 'lxml')
lines = [item.text for item in soup.select('li')]
print(lines)
print(data['dataPriceDisplay'])
# etc......
Sample of JSON:

Try the below code.It should work.
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('https://www.accuform.com/safety-sign/danger-danger-authorized-personnel-only-MADM006')
time.sleep(3)
driver.find_element_by_id('x-mark-icon').click()
material_dropdown = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[#class='select-dropdown']")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", material_dropdown)
#Code for material dropdown
materials=driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("div.select-wrapper ul.dropdown-content li")
material_optionsList = []
for material in materials:
material_ele=material.find_element_by_tag_name('span')
if material_ele.text!='':
material_optionsList.append(material_ele.text)
print(material_optionsList)
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", material_dropdown)
size_dropdown = driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//input[#class='select-dropdown'])[2]")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", size_dropdown)
#Code for size dropdown
Sizes=driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("div.select-wrapper ul.dropdown-content li")
size_optionsList = []
for size in Sizes:
size_ele=size.find_element_by_tag_name('span')
if size_ele.text!='':
size_optionsList.append(size_ele.text)
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", size_dropdown)
Output :

Hope you will do the remaining.Let me know if it works for you.
EDIT Code for loop through and get the price value of materials.
for material in range(len(materials)):
material_ele=materials[material]
if material_ele.text!='':
#material_optionsList.append(material_ele.text)
#material_ele.click()

In order to scroll in the window, you need to execute JavaScript, try this:
driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")
EDIT: in order to focus an element (it needs to be able to get the focus e.g. an anchor, input, button etc...) you also need to use JavaScript executor:
elementToFocus = driver.find_element_by_id("yourID")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].focus();", elementToFocus)

I'm working with a dynamic React app, I need to scroll to the pages bottom to make react render all the data.
For unknown reasons, solutions based on JS execute_script didn't work. However I got send_keys solution working:
