Selenium Python: Element is not clickable

I am testing a webapp created with python dash using selenium. I am trying to click a tab but always get the ElementClickIntercepted Exception.
Note: Of course I stumbled over similiar problems but most times the problem is that the element cannot be clicked as is did not load yet - I already built in waits! - or the fact that another element would receive the click which cannot be the case either. Note that the first item is always preselected and i want to choose the second.
#Selct X-Axis
x_axis = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//*[#id='navbar']/a[2]")
x_axis.click()
driver.implicitly_wait(2)
try:
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//a[text()='Even']"))
)
except:
raise Exception
even= driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//a[text()='Even']")
even.click()
Exception snapshot:
HTML snapshot:

Based on what you've posted, By.XPATH, "//a[text()='Even']" is probably selecting an HTML element different from what you're expecting.
There appears to be an <a> with text that starts with 'Even', but you've shown nothing with text that equals 'Even'.
BTW, when asking a question, you ought to at least paste the relevant HTML as text, rather than as a screenshot.

Use contains(text(), 'even') instead of text()='even' in your XPath. Because, text()='even' means the text must be 'even' but not contain 'even', and in your HTML code, the text seems not only have 'even'.

To click on either of the element instead of presence_of_element_located() you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:
$$$ Response:
Using PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, "Response"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[starts-with(#id, 'content')]//ul//div[#class='nav-item']//a[contains(., 'Response')]"))).click()
Even $$$:
Using PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, "Even"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[starts-with(#id, 'content')]//ul//div[#class='nav-item']//a[starts-with(., 'Even')]"))).click()
Note: You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

Unable to locate element using selenium chrome webdriver in python selenium

I am new to python and trying to do some webscraping but have some real issues. May be you can help me out.
HTML:
<input autocomplete="off" type="search" name="search-search-field" placeholder="150k companies worldwide" data-cy-id="search-search-field" class="sc-dnqmqq grpFhe" value="">
The first part of my code looks as follows and works good without having any issues:
driver.get("https:")
login = driver.find_element_by_xpath(email_xpath).send_keys(email)
login = driver.find_element_by_xpath(pwd_xpath).send_keys(pwd)
login = driver.find_element_by_xpath(continue_xpath)
login.click()
time.sleep(10)
email and pwd are variables including my login details. As I said that part works pretty fine.
The issues I have are with the following code line:
search = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[1]/div/div[1]/header/div/nav/div[1]/div/div/fieldset/input')
As a result I get this following error:
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"/html/body/div[1]/div/div[1]/header/div/nav/div[1]/div/div/fieldset/input"}
I tried and tried but could not solve the problem. I would appreciate it very much, if anyone could help me out. Thank you!

To locate the search field you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using css_selector:
search = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input[name='search-search-field'][data-cy-id='search-search-field']")
Using xpath:
search = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[#name='search-search-field' and #data-cy-id='search-search-field']")
Ideally, to locate the 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:
search = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input[name='search-search-field'][data-cy-id='search-search-field']")))
Using XPATH:
search = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[#name='search-search-field' and #data-cy-id='search-search-field']")))
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 in python : NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element

The following Xpath will work and is much simpler.
/html/body/div[1]//fieldset/input

do not use absolute xpath or css , always use relative as it is more stable
Absolute (Full) xpath will be depended on parent and so if parent changes the locator will fail to find the element
in xpath and css the locator can be used in the form:
//tagname[#attributename="attriubutevalue"] - Xpath
tagname[attributename="attriubutevalue"] - CSS
so you can use any attribute , type, name , id ,class, what ever attribute there in your element eg:
//input[#type="search"] - xpath
input[type="search"] - css
search = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[#type="search"]')
Try wait:
WebDriverWait(driver,15).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//input[#type="search"]')))

How to click the Continue button within https://in.indeed.com/ website using selenium in python?

I am trying to write a code that is able to auto apply on job openings on indeed.com. I have managed to reach the last stage, however, the final click on the application form is giving me a lot of trouble. Please refer the page as below
Once logged in to my profile, I go to the relevant search page, click on the listing I am interested in and then on the final page (shown above) I am trying to click on the continue button using xpath. For the previous step (also a page on the same form), the form had multiple iframes which I was able to switch successfully. Now for the current page, I am stuck as the click function does not do anything. I have written the following code:
driver.get("https://in.indeed.com/jobs?q=data%20analyst&l=Delhi&vjk=5c0bd416675cf4e5")
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="apply-button-container"]/div[1]/span[1]').click()
time.sleep(5)
frame_1 = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('iframe[title="Job application form container"')
driver.switch_to.frame(frame_1)
frame_2 = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('iframe[title="Job application form"]')
driver.switch_to.frame(frame_2)
continue_btn = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('#form-action-continue')
continue_btn.click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="form-action-continue"]').click()
I have tried switching the iframes again for this step but nothing happens. Even the .click() function does not do anything.
Will appreciate some help on this.

The element Continue is within nested <iframe> elements so you have to:
Induce WebDriverWait for the parent frame to be available and switch to it.
Induce WebDriverWait for the child 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:
driver.get("https://in.indeed.com/jobs?q=data%20analyst&l=Delhi&vjk=5c0bd416675cf4e5")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "span.indeed-apply-button-label"))).click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe[id^='indeedapply-modal-preload']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe[title='Job application form']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button#form-action-continue"))).click()
Using XPATH:
driver.get("https://in.indeed.com/jobs?q=data%20analyst&l=Delhi&vjk=5c0bd416675cf4e5")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[#class='indeed-apply-button-label']"))).click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[starts-with(#id, 'indeedapply-modal-preload')]")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[#title='Job application form']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[#id='form-action-continue']"))).click()

Login_Id_TextBox = browser.find_element_by_id('LoginId')
Can anyone help me find the right frame or direct me to a good source to learning more about them?

NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element: css selector but im using find_element

I used selenium IDE to trace my UI activity. I got this following code from IDE and i inspected in UI also,but while using find_element by id i'm getting css selector error.
driver.find_element(By.ID, "button-1034-btnIconEl").click()
error is
raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element:
{"method":"css selector","selector":"[id="button-1034-btnIconEl"]"}
(Session info: chrome=78.0.3904.108)
Please help me to debug this..

To click() on the button with text as Add Order you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a[id^='button-'] > span.x-btn-wrap > span.x-btn-button > span.x-btn-inner.x-btn-inner-center"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[starts-with(#id, 'button-')]/span[#class='x-btn-wrap']/span[#class='x-btn-button']/span[#class='x-btn-inner x-btn-inner-center' and contains(., 'Add')]"))).click()
Note : You have to add the following imports :

You can find a detailed discussion on NoSuchElementException: no such element in Selenium “selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException” when using Chrome

The id seems to be dynamic one so you cannot use static id in the selector. You need to use a dynamic xpath for this.
You can use the below xpath:
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//span[contains(#id,'btnIconEl')]").click()
OR
You can find the element using its text as well in the xpath:
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//span[contains(text(),'Add Order')]").click()

Might not be your case, but I made a silly mistake that lead me to this error.
I forgot to get the actual web page using the line:
driver.get(my_link)
and thus, I got the same error
