I'm trying to crawl review data on an app from a Google Play website page using Python and Selenium. What I'm trying to do here is to click the "Full Review" button to see the entire text of each review.
But I keep running into these errors each time:
ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable
or
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'click'
or
NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":".LkLjZd ScJHi OzU4dc "}
The element for the button is this:
<button class="LkLjZd ScJHi OzU4dc " jsaction="click:TiglPc" jsname="gxjVle">Full Review</button>
The xpath for the button is this:
//*[#id="fcxH9b"]/div[4]/c-wiz/div/div[2]/div/div[1]/div/div/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[26]/div/div[2]/div[2]/span[1]/div/button
And this is the code I'm using for xpath:
full_review = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[#id="fcxH9b"]/div[4]/c-wiz/div/div[2]/div/div[1]/div/div/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[26]/div/div[2]/div[2]/span[1]/div/button')
full_review.click()
I can't find the button by class name, xpath or anything.
Could anyone help me figure out this problem? In addition, is it possible to find the element by jsname?
I would really appreciate if you could help.
Avoid using xpath whenever possible, it's the most brittle selector.
id > CSS > Xpath
For your button, this css selector should work:
button[jsname='gxjVle']
You'll probably need to specify the child as that probably won't be unique
Your XPath selector is a little bit flaky, you can simplify it to be something like:
//button[text()='Full Review']
You're using the wrong function, if you're looking for a single unique element you should be using WebDriver.find_element_by_xpath one, mind that element, not elements
It's better to use Explicit Wait just in case element is not immediately available in DOM (for example if you're testing application built using AJAX technology)
Assuming all above:
full_review = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[text()='Full Review']")))

Good time of the day!
Faced with a seemingly simple problem,
But it’s been a while, and I’m asking for your help.
I work with Selenium on Python and I need to curse about
20 items on google search page by random request.
And I’ll give you an example of the elements below, and the bottom line is, once the elements are revealed,
Google generates new such elements
Problem:
Cannot click on the element. I will need to click on existing and then on new, generated elements in this block: click for open see blocks with element
Tried to click on xpath, having collected all the elements:
xpath = '//*[#id="qmCCY_adG4Sj3QP025p4__16"]/div/div/div[1]/div[4]'
all_elements = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, value=xpath)
for element in all_elements:
element.click()
sleep(2)
Important note!
id xpath has constantly changing and is generated by another on the google side
Tried to click on the class
class="r21Kzd"
Tried to click on the selector:
#qmCCY_adG4Sj3QP025p4__16 > div > div > div > div.wWOJcd > div.r21Kzd
Errors
This is when I try to click using xpath:
Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector"://*[#id="vU-CY7u3C8PIrgTuuJH4CQ_9"]/div/div[1]/div[4]}
In other cases, the story is almost the same, the driver does not find the element and cannot click on it. Below I apply a scratch tag on which I need to click
screenshot tags on google search
Thanks for the help!
In case iDjcJe IX9Lgd wwB5gf are a fixed class name values of that element all you need is to use CSS_SELECTOR instead of CLASS_NAME with a correct syntax of CSS Selectors.
So, instead of driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, "iDjcJe IX9Lgd wwB5gf") try using this:
driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".iDjcJe.IX9Lgd.wwB5gf")
(dots before each class name, no spaces between them)
I am trying to click inside the text area on confluence and send some text to the page. I have tried a lot of combinations to find the text input element on the webpage but have been unsuccessful. The code I am using is as below -
button1 = driver.find_element_by_class_name('mce-content-body aui-theme-default mceContentBody wiki-content fullsize notranslate page-edit')
button1.click()
button1.send_keys(x)
driver.switch_to.frame("wysiwygTextarea_ifr")
It gives an error - no such element: Unable to locate element:
{"method":"css selector","selector":".mce-content-body
aui-theme-default mceContentBody wiki-content fullsize notranslate
page-edit"}
Please help me out have been trying various combinations but nothing worked.
added a snapshot for the sourcecode.
Going through your code and the DOM snapshot, I deduce that you are looking for this DOM component: DOM snapshot
In which case, the code you wrote is just opposite. You have first access the iframe and then you can access the elements inside of it (which you did the opposite way)
Refactored your code to align with the DOM:
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it(driver.find_element_by_id("wysiwygTextarea_ifr")))
# changing the button 1 locator to xpath as the class name is too long and may not be accurate every time. data-id attribute instead would remain relatively static.
button1 = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#data-id = 'wysiwygTextarea']")
button1.click()
button1.send_keys(x)
I'm literally going crazy to find an element in a specific web page. It's an "Enter" button but I haven't been being able to locate it.
ERROR MESSAGE:
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":"input"}
(Session info: chrome=86.0.4240.111)
I'm going to share with you the possible selectors by ChroPath Extension:
HTML INSPECT CODE "ENTER" BUTTON:
<input type="button" value="Entra" onclick="parent.location.href='site.site.site'">
1°ATTEMPT - PYTHON CODE WITH REL XPATH:
elem = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//body[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[2]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[3]/td[1]/input[1]')
2°ATTEMPT - PYTHON CODE WITH ABS XPATH:
elem = browser.find_element_by_xpath('/html[1]/body[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[2]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[3]/td[1]/input[1]')
I have checked if there were any iframes, but I can't find them.
Please, help me.
I agree with #josifoski. It is better to use custom xpath than autogenerated by browser. So in your case try to use the following xpath:
xpath = '//input[#type="button"][#value="Entra"]'
It will be easier to understand and support.
I got it.
I was wrong when I told you that there weren't any iframes in the source code.
There are 2 ones!
So this is the right code to click the "Enter" button:
browser.switch_to.frame(0)
browser.switch_to.frame(1)
elem = browser.find_element_by_css_selector('td:nth-child(2) input')
elem.click()
To figure out, I recorded my steps with Selenium Ide for Chrome Browser, then I exported the python source code and I saw 2 switch_to.frame functions; then I did 2 plus 2...
Like you can see, at the end, I used a css_selector argument based on the recorded source code that I had exported.
I hope it's clear and useful for other people.
Thank you so much for your help and sorry for the incomplete information.
Can you try this
xpath = '//input[#value="Entra"]'
I'm running test scripts on the Shopify checkout page, and while I am able to switch to the iFrame and get the Card Number element, the same approach doesn't seem to work for the other input elements (id='expiry', id='name' etc)
Form screenshot
Inspect iFrame screenshot
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[#class='card-fields-iframe']")))
element12 = WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID,'number')))
element12.click()
element12.send_keys('1111222233334444')
Have also tried driver.switchTo().defaultContent() and switching back to iFrame again, but same error
element13 = WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID,'expiry')))
element13.click()
element13.send_keys('1220')
Here's the error I get for element13.
selenium.common.exceptions.ElementClickInterceptedException: Message: element click intercepted: Element is not clickable at point (489, -1)
Found out the issue - the elements were in separate iFrames. Modified my code to retrieve the iFrames using xpath and a partial match on the different id fields
I'm using ChromeDriver of Selenium with Python and I'm trying to find a button on my page that has the following HTML:
<input id="j_id0:SiteTemplate:j_id255:new" type="submit" name="j_id0:SiteTemplate:j_id255:new" value="New" class="kbutton-white">
The only thing I know being constant is the id and name ending with "new" and I'm trying to use the following code to identify and click that element:
test_runner.driver.find_element_by_css_selector('[id*=new]').click()
However, I get this error when I run the code:
raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":"[id*=new]"}
What's my mistake here?
Update: This element was inside an iframe and I had to switch to the iframe before trying to find the element. Please see comments for the answer.
As per the HTML you have shared to invoke click() on the desired element you can use the following css_selector :
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input.kbutton-white[id$='new'][name$='new'][value='New']").click()
Explaination :
.kbutton-white : The class attribute.
id$='new' : id attribute ends with new
name$='new' : name attribute ends with new
value='New' : The value attribute.
But it seems the element is dynamic so you may need to induce WebDriverWait as follows :
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input.kbutton-white[id$='new'][name$='new'][value='New']"))).click()
