I am trying to enter a keyword into a searchbar of this site and select the first autocomplete option that comes up. If I were to do this manually I would type in "remote" in the search bar and press the downkey and press enter which I have tried to replicate in my code below, but instead it seems to be skipping the downkey part and not selecting the first autocomplete option and going to the search results page instead of this page which is the first autocomplete option.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://confluence.eits.uga.edu/dashboard.action")
elem = driver.find_element_by_id("quick-search-query")
elem.send_keys("remote")
elem.send_keys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN)
elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
Anyone have any ideas why the downkey is not being registered or am I not using the right syntax?
You are still sending the keys to the search input that triggers the search. Instead, find the first quick search dropdown option and send keys to it:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://confluence.eits.uga.edu/dashboard.action")
elem = driver.find_element_by_id("quick-search-query")
elem.send_keys("remote")
elem.send_keys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN)
# wait for the first dropdown option to appear and open it
first_option = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".quick-search-dropdown li a")))
first_option.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
You can also try actionchains in this case as following:
elem = driver.find_element_by_id("quick-search-query")
elem.send_keys("remote")
suggestion = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#quick-search > fieldset > div > div > ol:nth-child(1) > li:nth-child(1) a > span")
actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.move_to_element(suggestion )
actions.click(suggestion)
actions.perform()

I am trying to get the webdriver to click a button on the site random.org The button is a generator that generates a random integer between 1 and 100. It looks like this:
After inspecting the webpage, I found the corresponding element on the webpage looks something like this:
It is inside an iframe and someone suggested that I should first switch over to that iframe to locate the element, so I incorporated that in my code but I am constantly getting NoSuchElementException error. I have attached my code and the error measage below for your reference. I can't understand why it cannot locate the button element despite referencing the ID, which is supposed to unique in the entire document.
The code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
driver = webdriver.Edge()
driver.get("https://www.random.org/")
driver.implicitly_wait(15)
driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element(By.TAG_NAME, "iframe"))
button = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input[id='hnbzsqjufzxezy-button']")
button.click()
The error message:
Make sure that there are no more Iframes on the page. If there are a few an not only one do this:
iframes = driver.find_elements(By.CSS, 'iframe')
// try switching to each iframe:
driver.switch_to.frame(iframes[0])
driver.switch_to.frame(iframes[1])
You can't find the button because its name contain random letters. Every time you will refresh the page you can see that the name value will change. So, do this:
button = driver.findElement(By.CSS, 'input[type="button"][value="Generate"]')
button.click()
There are several issues with your code:
First you need to close the cookies banner
The locator of the button is wrong. It's id is dynamic.
You need to use WebDriverWait to wait for elements clickability.
The following code works:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
webdriver_service = Service('C:\webdrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=webdriver_service, options=options)
url = 'https://www.random.org/'
driver.get(url)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[onclick*='all']"))).click()
wait.until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.TAG_NAME, "iframe")))
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input[id*='button']"))).click()
I am trying to select a dropdown option in the form using Selenium webdriver in Python. The XPATH is correct, I also verified it is going to the right dropdown option but in the end it is not selecting it.
I have tried similar code for another website that has a dropdown. But it's not working for this particular website.
Can someone please help out with this?
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome("C:\\Users\\xxx\\Downloads\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://www.cersai.org.in/CERSAI/dbtrsrch.prg")
elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select[#id='borrowerType']")
all_options = elem.find_elements_by_tag_name("option")
for option in all_options:
if option.get_attribute("value") == "IND":
option.click()
break
You should add a wait before accessing the dropdown element to make it loaded.
Also, this is a Select element, you can treat it in a special way as below:
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
driver = webdriver.Chrome("C:\\Users\\xxx\\Downloads\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
driver.get("https://www.cersai.org.in/CERSAI/dbtrsrch.prg")
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//select[#id='borrowerType']")))
select = Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select[#id='borrowerType']"))
# select by visible text
select.select_by_value('IND')
It's strange that Select class did not work. It needs a JavaScript call.
driver = webdriver.Chrome(driver_path)
driver.maximize_window()
driver.implicitly_wait(50)
driver.get("https://www.cersai.org.in/CERSAI/dbtrsrch.prg")
driver.execute_script("return document.getElementById('borrowerType').selectedIndex = '2'")
I'm trying to get to the results page of a search but I have to first click on the dropdown option to complete the search. When I do this manually, the dropdown hides if I do not click on it right as it appears, when I code it, I get a the following error:
ElementNotInteractableException: Message: Element <div id="_esgratingsprofile_autocomplete-results-container" class="autocomplete-results-container msci-ac-search-data-dropdown"> could not be scrolled into view
This is my code so far, you can visit the url and see how it is yourself as well:
from selenium.webdriver import Firefox
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
opts = Options()
opts.set_headless()
assert opts.headless
browser = Firefox(options=opts)
browser.get('https://www.msci.com/esg-ratings')
search_form = browser.find_element_by_id('_esgratingsprofile_keywords')
search_form.send_keys('MSFT')
browser.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#id='_esgratingsprofile_autocomplete-results-container']/ul[#id='ui-id-1']/li[#class='msci-ac-search-section-title ui-menu-item']").click()
I looked through many other answers but they didnt seem to deal with the case where the dropdown was not a directly clickable element or where it hides if you dont click on it right away. Any help is appreciated.
Try the below code, This code is working for me. Let me know if it shows any error.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.maximize_window()
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 5)
action = ActionChains(driver)
driver.get("https://www.msci.com/esg-ratings")
Drop_Down = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="_esgratingsprofile_keywords"]')
Drop_Down.send_keys("MSFT")
# Select the First Result from the search.
Result = wait.until(
EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[contains(#class,'autocomplete-results-container')]/ul/li[1]")))
action.move_to_element(Result).click().perform()
I'm trying to select 'Newest' from the drop-down menu.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
# options.add_argument('--headless')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)
url = 'https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whatsapp&hl=en&showAllReviews=true'
driver.get(url)
state_selection = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[.='%s']" % "Most relevant")
state_selection.click()
state_selection.send_keys(Keys.UP)
state_selection.send_keys(Keys.UP)
state_selection2 = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[.='%s']" % "Newest")
state_selection2.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
but as soon as it reaches Newest and as I send command to press enter(as shown in code),it resets to "Most Relevent". I'm not able to get my head around on how to achieve this.
After you have clicked state_selection, something like this will click "Newest":
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#role='option']/span[contains(text(),'Newest')]").click()
The more robust method would be working with WebdriverWait to allow the DOM to update, so:
WebDriverWait(driver,5).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[#role='option']/span[contains(text(),'Newest')]"))).click()
Note you need these imports for WebdriverWait:
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
There are different ways to find
Index
Value
Visible Text
When you use the xpath if the values are changed in future,it pick that element present in that location only.So its better to user select by visible text
state_selection=Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[.='%s']" % "Most relevant").click();
state_selection.select_by_visible_text("Dropdown Visible Text")
I'm trying to click on the drop down menu but with no luck .
the menu is activated by javascript .
I tried to click on the link inside the parent div but nothing happens
here is some code :
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--start-maximized")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)
driver.get("https://www.energisa.com.br/Paginas/login.aspx")
select_element = Select(driver.find_element_by_id('ddlEstado'))
select_element.select_by_value('MG')
# select by visible text
select_element.select_by_visible_text('MG')
As per the your question the website https://www.energisa.com.br/Paginas/login.aspx the dropdown menu is not with in a Select tag, so Select class won't work here.
Once the url is accessed, you need to induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable and you can use the following solution:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.energisa.com.br/Paginas/login.aspx")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//li[#class='estado']/div[#class='select2-container' and #id='s2id_ddlEstado']"))).click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//ul[#class='select2-results' and #id='select2-results-1']//li/div[normalize-space()='MG']").click()
The dropdown you are trying to click is not actually a SELECT element so you can't use the Select class. The SELECT you are trying to click is just a backing element but it's invisible so you can't interact with it.
To make this work, you will need to click the dropdown element to expose the options and then click the desired option.
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#s2id_ddlEstado > a").click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//ul[#id='select2-results-1']/li[.='MG']").click()
This is untested code, so you may need to add a wait...
The one which appears like a select_list is not a select_list, the purpose of this kind of select_list is, we can write into the text_field to pick up the elements from the huge list, if you type 'M', then all the options which has M will be displayed.
Write the following code, it would work.
WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.invisibility_of_element_located((By.ID,"loadingContent")))
driver.find_element_by_id("s2id_ddlEstado").click
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//ul[#id='select2-results-1']//div[text()='MG']").click
