Trying to find the xpath for the <nobr> tag at the bottom of the page and it's driving me crazy. The frames are what is complicating the issue. Can someone please tell me the xpath for this?
I am trying to write a selenium script and I have gotten to:
EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it, ((By.NAME, "main"))
After that none of my xpath attempts have worked to get the content in the <nobr> tag where it says supplier.
HTML:
Another option :
//nobr[.='Suppliers']/parent::span
For the frameset :
//frameset[#rows='48,*']
As the the desired element is within multiple neted <iframe> so to invoke click() on the element you have to:
Induce WebDriverWait for the great grand parent frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it().
Induce WebDriverWait for the grand parent frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it().
Induce WebDriverWait for the parent frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it().
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element_to_be_clickable().
You can use the following solution:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe#main[name='main']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe[name='marketcenterHome']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe#main[name='TabNavigation']")))
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "span.tabSelText>nobr")))
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[#id='main' and #name='main']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[#name='marketcenterHome']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[#name='TabNavigation']")))
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[#class='tabSelText']/nobr[text()='Suppliers']")))
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

Ways to deal with #document under iframe
Apologies for the delay in coming back with the solution but the problem was that I needed to go up a level from the title iframe to get myself into root and then I was able to go down into main.
A simple problem to have but not so simple when you don't know too much about frames at the time.
I appreciate everyone who took the time to answer.

So I'm Fairley new to selenium and I'm attempting click on a table but I can't seem to find it.
Below I have posted my code along with a screen shot of what I'm trying to click on.
Here is my code:
competitorPrices = WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, "Competitor Prices"))).click()
HTML snapshot:
Error:
Element snapshot:
I would try something like this:
...
import time
time.sleep(5)
xpath = "//*[contains(text(),'Competitor Prices')]"
element = driver.find_element(by=By.XPATH, value=xpath)
competitorPrices = driver.execute_script("$(arguments[0]).click();", element)
Sometimes the method element_to_be_clickable doesn't work out of the box. In this cases to debug I use time.sleep so I can understand better the problem
The desired element is a <td> not an <a> tag. Hence LINK_TEXT won't work.
Moreover click() doesn't returns anything, so competitorPrices will be always None which you may remove.
Solution
You can use either of the following locator strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "table#tblTabStrip td[ch^='CompetitorPrices']"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//table[#id='tblTabStrip']//td[text()='Competitor Prices']"))).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
HTML:
<iframe allowpaymentrequest="true" allowtransparency="true" src="https://shopify.wintopay.com/
cd_frame_id_="ca9e4ad6a1559de159faff5c1f563d59"
name="WinCCPay"
id="win-cc-pay-frame"
I'm trying to input text in a CC field. Apparently its in an iframe I picked the last one in the HTML and tried to select it from the identifiers above but I keep getting the element couldn't be found
iframe= wd.find_element_by_id("win-cc-pay-frame")
wd.switch_to.frame(iframe)
The frame is currently being shown in the browser so no need for implicit wait.
To identify the <iframe> so you have to:
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.
You can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe#win-cc-pay-frame[name='WinCCPay'][src^='https://shopify.wintopay.com']")))
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[#id='win-cc-pay-frame' and #name='WinCCPay'][starts-with(#src, 'https://shopify.wintopay.com')]")))
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
The problem can be that the name and id of the element are dynamic and change for each unique checkout window? Can you check if adding class attribute at iframe tag and find element by this attribute?
It must be similar to:
iframe = wd.find_element_by_class_name('card-pay-iframe')
wd.switch_to.frame(iframe)
...
wd.switch_to.default_content()
good coding! ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I am trying to download an excel file using Selenium Python using the below code:
download=driver.find_element_by_css_selector("span[data-reactid='.0.1.0.0.1.1.1.0.1.0.1'>Download Orders]")
The element of the download button look like:
The piece of code above isnt working. Can someone help?
Your CSS locator is wrong. Please try to click with below xpath.
//span[.='Download Orders']
The desired element is a React element so to locate and 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 XPATH with normalize-space():
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[normalize-space()='Download Orders']"))).click()
Using XPATHand contains():
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[contains(., 'Download Orders')]"))).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
I agree with Muzzamil that the CSS locator you have used seems wrong. # is needed to select the attribute data-reactid.
You can try XPath:
//span[#data-reactid='.0.1.0.0.1.1.1.0.1.0.1']
If you want to include also the text, try:
//span[#data-reactid='.0.1.0.0.1.1.1.0.1.0.1'][contains(text(),'Download Orders')]
Tried something like this in python unable I want to click on cross using Selenium.
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[contains(#onclick, 'parent.$WZRK_WR.closeIframe('60005','intentPreview');')]").click()
As per the HTML you have shared to click on the element depicted as X, first you need to induce WebDriverWait while switching to the <iframe> and again induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable and you can use the following solution:
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[#id='wiz-iframe-intent']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[#class='CT_Interstitial']//span[#class='CT_InterstitialClose']"))).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
Open below URL and Click on Add to Chrome button.
Xpath Helper- https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xpath-helper/hgimnogjllphhhkhlmebbmlgjoejdpjl?hl=en
Once plugin added to Chrome. Open your application/webpage and press SHIFT+CTRL+X. Black window will appear on top then you can play with xpath.
If xpath is invalid- then you will get xpath error and if no matches found then it will display NULL.
Note- To check element attribute still you can use F12 that is nothing but default inspect element for all browser then check attribute and create your own xpath and try.
Xpath Syntax
// tagname[#attribute-name=’value1′] and if you are not sure about tag name then no worry you can try with * also
//*[#attribute-name='value1']
You are dealing with an iframe. Follow below steps :
You'll need to switch control to iframe.
Then perform your action (in this case 'Click close').
Switch the control back to default frame.
You can try with this css_selector :
div.CT_InterstitialContents+span.CT_InterstitialClose[onclick]
Xpath would be :
//div[#class='CT_InterstitialContents']/following-sibling::span[#class='CT_InterstitialClose' and onclick]
Try to use this xPath:
//div[#id = 'contentDiv']/div/div/span[#class = 'CT_InterstitialClose']
Code:
close_btn = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[#id = 'contentDiv']/div/div/span[#class = 'CT_InterstitialClose']")))
close_btn.click()
Imports:
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
Explanation:
WebDriverWait is used to wait until element will be clickable, and only then clicks on it. In this example WebDriverWait will wait at least 10 seconds until element will be clickable.
PS: as I see in the screenshot your element is probably in iframe. That means you have to switch to this iframe first, to be able to interact with the elements in it. The code sample for it would be like this:
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH, "XPATH_TO_FRAME")))
# do stuff
close_btn = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[#id = 'contentDiv']/div/div/span[#class = 'CT_InterstitialClose']")))
close_btn.click()
# switch back to default content
driver.switch_to.default_content()
You can write xpath using class name of span. Please refer an example below.
//span[#class='amountCharged']
I am new to Python/Selenium (< 3 days). I am trying to click on the "grades" item of an unordered list (Please see image). I have tried find_element_by_link_text, find_element_by_css_selector but am unable to find it.
Image from inspect element
Thanks.
As per the HTML it is pretty clear that the desired field is within an <iframe> so you have to:
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable.
You can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.ID,"frameDetail")))
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a#grades")))
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.ID,"frameDetail")))
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[#id='grades']")))
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
