I have the following code:
<a class="sectionname" href="#" onclick="expandAll();return false;">Expand all</a>
When I click on expand all, the whole page loads. How can I do it using WebDriver for Python?
As per the HTML you can use the find_element_by_link_text and invoke click() method as follows :
driver.find_element_by_link_text("Expand all").click()
You can get more granualar with find_element_by_xpath as follows :
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[#class='sectionname' and contains(.,'Expand all')]").click()
Update
As you still don't see the expansion you can try the Javascript way as follows :
myElement = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[#class='sectionname' and contains(.,'Expand all')]")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", myElement)

I'm a newbie trying to follow a Selenium Python tutorial and I need to know how to find the element for the sign in button on a website. The tutorial just used find_element_by_id but the website I am trying is different.
Code from inspect:
<button class="button m-margin-top text-inherit" type="submit" data-automation-id="signin-submit-btn">Sign in</button>
right click the element and copy its XPATH
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver=webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"")
driver.get(your url)
driver.find_element_by_xpath('paste xpath here')
this may help you :D
Use xpath
browser.find_element_by_xpath('//button[text()="Sign in"]')
Or more specific approach by including button class in xpath
browser.find_element_by_xpath("//button[#class='button m-margin-top text-inherit'][.='Sign in']")
I'm trying to click on an element (radio button) using Selenium (in Python), I can't disclose the URL because it's a private corporate intranet, but will share the relevants part of code.
So basically this element is within an iframe, thus, I've used the following code to get the element:
# Select the item on main DOM that will udpate the iframe contents
wait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//*[#id='sm20']"))).click()
# Don't sleep, but only WedDriverWait...
wait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[#name='ifrInterior']")))
# Select the element inside the iframe and click
wait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[#name='gestionesPropias_Equipo']"))).click()
The HTML code for the element is this:
<span class="W1">
<input type="radio" name="gestionesPropias_Equipo" value="1" onclick="javascript:indicadorPropiasEquipo(); ocultarPaginacion('1'); limpiarDatosCapaResultado();">
</span>
I'm interested in clicking this because when we click on it a drop-down is enabled:
If clicked then the dropdown is enabled:
The intersting HTML code for this is
<span id="filtroAsignado" class="W30">
<select name="nuumaAsignado" class="W84">
<option value="">[Todo mi equipo]</option></select>
</span>
Debugging a bit Selenium I can see that the elemtn is found:
And this is actually the base64 image of the element, which is the expected radio button
So I'm wondering why the element actually does not get clicked??
UPDATE: Based on request from #DebanjanB, I'm adding the HTML code from the iframe, which is enclosed inside a div in the main page:
<div id="contenido">
<iframe frameborder="0" id="ifrInterior" name="ifrInterior" src="Seguimiento.do?metodo=inicio" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0"></iframe>
</div>
Actually if I look for the word "iframe", there's only one...
Now checking the iframe source itself, has several iframes hidden but the element I need to interact with is in the iframe mentioned above, the only thing that I forgot to mention is that it's inside a form, but I guess that's not relevant? You can see the whole structure in the following image:
Great question. If you know that selenium found the element, you can use Javascript to click the element directly.
The syntax is:
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)
You can also do this, which works the same way:
automate.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, 'Your xpath here'))))
Essentially you are having Selenium run a javascript click on the element you have found which bypasses Selenium. Let me know if this helps!
I don't see any such issue with your code block either. Perhaps you can try out either of the following options:
Using ActionChains:
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[#name='gestionesPropias_Equipo' and #type='radio']")))).click().perform()
Using executeScript() method:
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[#name='gestionesPropias_Equipo' and #type='radio']"))))
I am trying to send click to an element but it didn't work.
I'm using selenium in python 3.6
and the element is
<a class="_m3m1c _1s3cd" href="#" role="button">Load more comments</a>
my code :
post = browser.find_element_by_class_name('_ebcx9')
comment_list = post.find_element_by_tag_name('ul')
comments = comment_list.find_elements_by_tag_name('li')
I tried
ActionChains(browser).move_to_element_with_offset(comments[1], 5, 5).click().perform
even
ActionChains(browser).click(comments[1].find_element_by_tag_name('a')).perform()
What is wrong I'm doing?
Please help me.
As per the HTML you have provided to send click() to the element you can use either of the following line of code :
LINK TEXT :
driver.find_element_by_link_text("Load more comments").click()
XPATH :
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[#role='button' and contains(.,'Load more comments')]").click()
I got stuck with extracting href="/ttt/play" from the following HTML code.
<div class="collection-list-wrapper-2 w-dyn-list">
<div class="w-dyn-items">
<div typeof="ListItem" class="collection-item-2 w-clearfix w-dyn-item">
<div class="div-block-38 w-hidden-medium w-hidden-small w-hidden-tiny"><img src="https://global-uploads.webflow.com/59cf_home.svg" width="16" height="16" alt="Official Link" class="image-28">
<a property="url" href="/ttt/play" class="link-block-4 w-inline-block">
<div class="row-7 w-row"><div class="column-10 w-col w-col-2"><img height="25" property="image" src="https://global-fb0edc0001b4b11d/5a77ba9773fd490001ddaaaa_play.png" alt="Play" class="image-23"><h2 property="name" class="heading-34">Play</h2><div style="background-color:#d4af37;color:white" class="text-block-28">GOLD LEVEL</div><div class="text-block-30">HOT</div><div style="background-color:#d4af37;color:white" class="text-block-28 w-condition-invisible">SILVER LEVEL</div></div></div></a>
</div>
<div typeof="ListItem" class="collection-item-2 w-clearfix w-dyn-item">
This is my code in Python:
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()
driver.implicitly_wait(20)
driver.set_window_size(1120, 550)
driver.get(website_url)
tag = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("w-dyn-item")[0]
tag.find_element_by_tag_name("a").click()
url = driver.current_url
print(url)
driver.quit()
When I print url using print(url), I want to see url equal to website_url/ttt/play, but instead of it I get website_url.
It looks like the click event does not work and the new link is not really opened.
When using .click() it must be "visible" (you using PhantomJS) and not hidden, in a drop-down for example.
Also make sure the page is completely loaded.
As i see it you have two options:
Ether use selenium to revile it, and then click.
Use java script to do the actual click
I strongly suggest to click with javascript, its much faster and more reliable.
Here is a little wrapper to make things easier:
def execute_script(driver, xpath):
""" wrapper for selenium driver execute_script
:param driver: selenium driver
:param xpath: (str) xpath to the element
:return: execute_script result
"""
execute_string = "window.document.evaluate('{}', document, null, 9, null).singleNodeValue.click();".format(xpath)
return driver.execute_script(execute_string)
The wrapper basically implement this technique to click on elements with javascript.
then in your selenium script use the wrapper like so:
execute_script(driver, element_xpath)
you can also make it more general to not only do clicks, but scrolls and other magic..
ps. in my example i use xpath, but you can also use css_path basically, what-ever runs in javascript.
I am new to selenium here. I am trying to use selenium to click a 'more' button to expand the review section everytime after refreshing the page.
The website is TripAdvisor. The logic of more button is, as long as you click on the first more button, it will automatically expand all the review sections for you. In other words, you just need to click on the first 'more' button.
All buttons have a similar class name. An example is like taLnk.hvrIE6.tr415411081.moreLink.ulBlueLinks. Only the numbers part changes everytime.
The full element look like this:
<span class="taLnk hvrIE6 tr413756996 moreLink ulBlueLinks" onclick=" var options = {
flow: 'CORE_COMBINED',
pid: 39415,
onSuccess: function() { ta.util.cookie.setPIDCookie(2247); ta.call('ta.servlet.Reviews.expandReviews', {type: 'dummy'}, ta.id('review_413756996'), 'review_413756996', '1', 2247);; window.location.hash = 'review_413756996'; }
};
ta.call('ta.registration.RegOverlay.show', {type: 'dummy'}, ta.id('review_413756996'), options);
return false;
">
More </span>
I have tried several ways to get the button click. But since it is an onclick event wrapped by span, I can't successfully get it clicked.
My last version looks like this:
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get(newurl)
page_source = driver.page_source
soup = BeautifulSoup(page_source)
moreID = soup.find("span", class_=re.compile(r'.*\bmoreLink\b.*'))['class']
moreID = '.'.join(moreID[0:(len(moreID)+1)])
moreButton = 'span.' + moreID
button = driver.find_element_by_css_selector(moreButton)
button.click()
time.sleep(10)
However, I keep getting the error message like this:
WebDriverException: Message: Element is not clickable at point (318.5,
7.100006103515625). Other element would receive the click....
Can you advise me on how to fix the problem? Any help will be appreciated!
WebDriverException: Message: Element is not clickable at point (318.5, 7.100006103515625). Other element would receive the click....
This error to be occur when element is not in the view port and selenium couldn't click due to some other overlay element on it. In this case you should try one of these following solution :-
You can try using ActionChains to reach that element before click as below :-
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
button = driver.find_element_by_css_selector(moreButton)
ActionChains(button).move_to_element(element).click().perform()
You can try using execute_script() to reach that element before click as :-
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true)", button)
button.click()
You can try using JavaScript::click() with execute_script() but this JavaScript::click() defeats the purpose of the test. First because it doesn't generate all the events like a real click (focus, blur, mousedown, mouseup...) and second because it doesn't guarantee that a real user can interact with the element. But to get rid from this issues you can consider it as an alternate solution.
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click()", button)
Note:- Before using these options make sure you're trying to interact with correct element using with correct locator, otherwise WebElement.click() would work well after wait until element visible and clickable using WebDriverWait.
Try using an ActionChains:
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
# Your existing code here
# Minus the `button.click()` line
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(button).click().perform()
I have used this technique when I need to click on a <div> or a <span> element, rather than an actual button or link.
