Python > Getting stuck on Proceed to Checkout

New to Python.
Creating smoke test for Checkout process.
Am unable to click the Proceed to Checkout button.
On the Add-Ons page of the Checkout process, I am unable to click the Proceed to Checkout button which allows the user to go to the Attendee Info page of Checkout.
I've tried a few different things. Below is the most basic attempt.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

I don't know why but CSS_SELECTOR has problem even with button[title] but XPATH works for me
find_element(By.XPATH, "//button[#title='proceed to checkout']")
BTW:
first I tested it with find_elements (with s at the end) and it finds two buttons with 'proceed to checkout' - maybe this makes some problem with CSS.

How to locate the Create an Account element within https://www.shopdisney.com/ using Selenium and Python

I have been trying to click the "Create an Account" button on this webpage with selenium and python but python cannot seem to find the element. Here is my current code:
from selenium import webdriver
import time
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.shopdisney.com/merch-pass/product-selection/arendelle-castle-collection-from-frozen")
time.sleep(12)
accountcreate = driver.find_element_by_class_name ('btn-group btn-group-create-account ng-scope')
accountcreate.click()
Every time I run it, chrome opens to the webpage but it does not click on the button and I get this response:
File "skit.py", line 8, in <module>
link = driver.find_element_by_class_name ('btn-group btn-group-create-account ng-scope')
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 564, in find_element_by_class_name

return self.execute(Command.FIND_ELEMENT, {

self.error_handler.check_response(response)

(Session info: chrome=83.0.4103.97)
I have tried to use different methods to identify the element such as XPath, css, and more but I still cannot manage to locate it and click it. I believe it has something to do with Iframes but I am not completely sure. Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this?
Thanks!

The link with text as Create an Account 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 the following Locator Strategies:
LINK_TEXT:
driver.get("https://www.shopdisney.com/merch-pass/product-selection/arendelle-castle-collection-from-frozen")
WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.ID,"disneyid-iframe")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, "Create an Account"))).click()
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
driver.get("https://www.shopdisney.com/merch-pass/product-selection/arendelle-castle-collection-from-frozen")
WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe[name='disneyid-iframe']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a.btn.btn-secondary.ng-isolate-scope"))).click()
Using XPATH:
driver.get("https://www.shopdisney.com/merch-pass/product-selection/arendelle-castle-collection-from-frozen")
WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[#name='disneyid-iframe']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[text()='Create an Account']"))).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

NoSuchElementException in python selenium(<span>Incident</span>)

When I am trying to click the Incident tab as highlighted in Image, it gives me an error. Below is the script.
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get("https://*****.service-now.com/")
driver.switch_to.frame('gsft_main')
driver.find_element_by_id('user_name').send_keys('*****')
driver.find_element_by_id('user_password').send_keys('*****')
driver.find_element_by_id('sysverb_login').click()
Incident=driver.find_element_by_link_text('Incident')
This is the element I got when copied after Inspecting the page
<span>Incident</span>
This is xpath
//*[#id="concourse_application_dead1309c611228701e2bda7b4252474"]/a/span
Tried both but no success. Gives me below error.`

find_element_by_link_text() and find_element_by_partial_link_text() works only on <a> tags, your element is a <span>. You need to use xpath for to locate it
incident = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//span[contains(., "Incident")]')
Since you are navigated to another page you should also add some wait
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as ec
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
incident = wait.until(ec.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//span[contains(., "Incident")]')))

The element with text as Incident is actually within a <span> node. Though it is within a parent <a> node, you won't be able to use find_element_by_link_text() or find_element_by_partial_link_text() to locate the element.
However, as the desired element is a dynamic 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 CSS_SELECTOR:
incident = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "[id^='concourse_application_dead']>a>span")))
Using XPATH A:
incident = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[text()='Incident']")))
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

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Failed to convert data to an object while trying to click an element with Selenium and Python

im trying to click a button on a page after logging in the button is the following HTML
<div id="carrierDashboardControls">
<button class="yms-button-primary" ng-click="refresh()">
<t>Refresh</t>
</button>
<button class="yms-button-primary-alt ng-isolate-scope" ng-csv="fetchData()" lazy-load="true"
csv-header="getCsvHeader" filename="carrier-dashboard.csv" field-separator=",">CSV
</button>
</div>
there are 2 buttons in this and i want to click the one with class
"yms-button-primary-alt ng-isolate-scope"
however i get the follwing error
this button will download a CSV file when clicked but right now i get the error "selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Failed to convert data to an object"
im currently using the below code, note the actual url's cannot be shared due to the nature of the business (i navigate to the url twice due to a redirection after login)
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

url = "THE URL"
username = 'USERNAME'
password = 'PASSWORD'
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'MYPATH/geckodriver.exe')
driver.implicitly_wait(100)
driver.get(url)
user_field = driver.find_element_by_id("ap_email")
pass_field = driver.find_element_by_id("ap_password")
sign_in = driver.find_element_by_id("signInSubmit")
user_field.send_keys(username)

driver.implicitly_wait(100)
driver.get(url)
CSV_BUTTON = driver.find_element_by_class_name("yms-button-primary-alt ng-isolate-scope")
CSV_BUTTON.click()
as an added note i would like to manipulate the file that is downloaded afterwards as i would like to have it auto renamed with current date and time if this is possible ?

The desired element is an dynamic element which becomes visible through lazy-loading, 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, "button.yms-button-primary-alt.ng-isolate-scope[csv-header='getCsvHeader'][ng-csv^='fetchData']"))).click()

Why selenium is unable to locate the Disqus comment section?

Hello
I created few selenium scripts before on python and they are working fine but don't know why it's not working on a website.
I'm trying to click on a element which appear when "DISQUS" is loaded on that website.
Disqus is a comment section on website which loads after website loading.
So I used sleep method but it didn't work so I tried it with python IDLE to execute code line one by one so I can run locate code once Disqus comment section is completely available but still getting same error. "Webdriver unable to locate element"
Here is my code.
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
browser = webdriver.Chrome('E:\\ChromeDriver\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe')
browser.get('https://www.eloanus.com/customers-review')
dicuss = browser.find_element_by_class_name('textarea')
print(dicuss)
Error, I'm getting.
Traceback (most recent call last):

I attached the screen shot of inspect element (class) from that website.

I'm new to programming, any help would be appreciated.

There are multiple iframes, so you have to switch to it before you want the interaction.
It's always a good practice if you switch the control of driver to default once you are done.
Code :
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = r'D:/Automation/chromedriver.exe')
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get("https://www.eloanus.com/customers-review")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
visibilty_login = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//span[text()='Log In']")))
action = ActionChains(driver)
wait.until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "iframe[id$='disqusCommentsHolder']")))
wait.until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "iframe[title='Disqus']")))
driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, 100)")
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[text()='Join the discussion…']/following-sibling::div[#class='textarea']"))).send_keys("Hi")
driver.switch_to.default_content()
Hope this helps.

To send a character sequence to the Disqus comment section you need to:
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired parent frame to be available and switch to it
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired nested frame to be available and switch to it
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable and you can use the following solution:
Code Block:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_argument('disable-infobars')
browser=webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
browser.get('https://www.eloanus.com/customers-review')
WebDriverWait(browser, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[#class='disq2disqusCommentsHolder']")))
WebDriverWait(browser, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[starts-with(#id,'dsq-app') and #title='Disqus']")))
WebDriverWait(browser, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[#class='textarea'][contains(#aria-label,'Join the discussion')]"))).send_keys("Michael Berger")
