Currently trying to automate signups on 'mail.com' using Selenium. So far i've managed to get the program to go to the URL. The problem i'm having is that even when I copied the full XPATH of "Sign Up" i'm getting an:
"selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"/html/body/table/tbody/tr[114]/td[2]"}"
error
Here is the code i'm working with so far:
import selenium
import time
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
driver = selenium.webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='pathtochromedriver')
driver.get('https://www.mail.com/')
driver.maximize_window()
# Delay added to allow elements to load on webpage
time.sleep(30)
# Find the signup element
sign_up = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/table/tbody/tr[114]/td[2]')
Try using ActionsChains to scroll to ensure the element is in view.
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
some_page_item = driver.find_element_by_class_name('some_class')
ActionsChains(driver).move_to_element(some_page_item).click(some_page_item).perform()
Also another tip... instead of simply using time.sleep() to wait for an element to appear, instead use WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
wait_for_item = WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME ,"some_class_name")))
30 is the amount of seconds that it will wait until the item appears; however if it appears before 30 seconds then it will immediately continue execution. If 30 seconds passes and the item doesn't appear a timeout error will occur.

Im trying to create automation for a cookie clicker website.
I need to click on elements (like the cursor element for example) on the website when they go from "blocked" to "unlocked" I have been trying for 2 days now and I have tried using the WebDriverWait but nothing is working no matter what my code does not detect when the element becomes available.
this is my code right now
import time
import ec as ec
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
Play = True
ser_obj = Service("\Progr\OneDrive\Documents\PythonFolder\chromedriver.exe")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=ser_obj)
driver.get(url="https://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/")
WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a.cc_btn.cc_btn_accept_all"))).click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.langSelectButton.title#langSelect-EN"))).click()
time.sleep(1)
Cookie = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#cookieAnchor #bigCookie")
while Play:
Cookie.click()
Cookie_number = (driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'//*[#id="cookies"]').text)
print(Cookie_number)
WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="product0"]'))).click()
and for whatever reason I cannot click on the cookie unless I have a time.sleep() method called and I do not know why. I have tried using WebDriverWait to wait when the cookie becomes avaible to click, but nope, it wont run without the time.sleep().
Any help would be great.
I have tried using if statments with the .isDisplayed() function.
I have tried using "try-except" methods.
I have tried giving Play a value and then saying when that value reaches 0, check to see if the cursor is available to click.
I have tried using CSS Selectors and Xpath
I'm trying to write a script to automate some tasks with Selenium and Python, and every time I try to click on a button
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
xpath = "/html/body/app-root/app-prime/div/mat-sidenav-container//app-detail-component/main//div/span/button[#aria-label='Prenota']"
# Wait for the element to be visible, always true
WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(expected_conditions.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, xpath)))
# Try to click on element, get an error
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, xpath).click()
I get the following error
selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable
I know for sure that the element gets located correctly and has to match, but it should act only on the first one.
I tried:
Trying to click child tags, such as others divs and span
Waiting for it to be clickable
Waiting with an implicit wait
None of those activities were successful
Edit: Apparently the issue olly exist on my machine
It could be not clickable for a number of reasons. You might want to check if there is some element on the page layered on top so that that element is not interactable at that time, e.g some popup/iframe etc. There could be some other element that will receive click at that time.
You could try an actions click - something like this
myElement = driver.find_element_by_xpath("myXpath")
webdriver.ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(myElement).click(myElement).perform()
One of this should work.
IJavaScriptExecutor executor = (IJavaScriptExecutor)WebDriver.Driver;
executor.ExecuteScript("arguments[0].click();", webElement);
Actions actions = new Actions(WebDriver.Driver);
actions.MoveToElement(webElement).Click().Perform();
Note - these are c sharp code. try to do the same in java.
I have an element that after clicking the button it builds a div with Ajax and I can't get the element.
Click button:
Show div:
But in my code doesn't work
vv = drive.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="vUPDATE_0001"]')
Error Message:
Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[#id="vUPDATE_0001"]"}
I think what you're looking for is to wait until the div is visible. Luckily, selenium has just that!
You can read more over here.
By using WebDriverWait along with expected_conditions, your example code would look like this:
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
timeout = 10 # Wait 10 seconds. If it doesn't appear in 10 seconds then throw an error
vv = WebDriverWait(driver, timeout).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="vUPDATE_0001"]')))
For many different circumstances, there are different conditions, such as wait for an element to be clickable, or wait an alert to pop up. We are using presence of element located, which is the same as find_element_by_[condition]. Then we are setting the condition with By.XPATH. There are many different conditions which represent their find_element_by_ alternative, such as By.ID, By.CLASS_NAME, and By.NAME.
After the website is loaded I click a button successfully which will then generate some numbers in this class
<div class="styles__Value-sc-1bfbyy7-2 eVmhyz"></div>
but not instantly, it will put them in one by one. Selenium will instantly grab the first value that gets put into the class but doesn't wait for the other values to get added. Any way to wait for it to load all the values in there before grabbing it.
Here is the python code I use for grabbing the value:
total = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#class='styles__Value-sc-1bfbyy7-2 eVmhyz']").text
Selenium has a WebDriverWait method:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions
browser = webdriver.Chrome()
delay = 5
total = WebDriverWait(browser, delay).until(expected_conditions.presence_of_element_located(<locator>)
I haven't tested it locally but it may work. There is also presence_of_all_elements_located method, you can find the details on this page.
Hope this helps!
I'm running Selenium in Python ide with geckodriver.
The site I'm trying to open has a timer of 30 seconds that after this 30 seconds a button appears and I send a click on it.
What I'm asking is the following:
Can I somehow ignore/skip/speed up the waiting time?
Right now what I'm doing is the following:
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("SITE_URL")
sleep(30)
driver.find_element_by_id("proceed").click()
Which is very inefficient because every time I run the code to do some tests I need to wait.
Thanks in advance, Avi.
UPDATE:
I haven't found a way to get over the obstacle but until I do I'm trying to focus the next achievable progress:
<video class="jw-video jw-reset" disableremoteplayback="" webkit-playsinline="" playsinline="" preload="metadata" src="//SITE.SITE.SITE/SITE/480/213925.mp4?token=jbavPPLqNqkQT1SEUt4crg&time=1525458550" style="object-fit: fill;"></video>
(censored site's name)
In each page there is a video, all the videos are under the class "jw-video jw-reset"
I had trouble using find element by class so I used:
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "video[class='jw-video jw-reset']")))
It works but I can't figure how to select the element's src...
As per your code trial you can remove the time.sleep(30) and induce WebDriverWait for the element to be clickable as follows :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
# lines of code
WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "proceed"))).click()
Note : Configure the WebDriverWait instance with the maximum time limit as per your usecase. The expected_conditions method element_to_be_clickable() will return the WebElement as soon as the element is visible and enabled such that you can click it.
