I want to create a script to automate the sending of Facebook comments. Logging in and fetching the post are done, but I cannot understand why selenium doesn't find the comment class.
Here's the code:
def fb_login():
browser.get("https://www.facebook.com")
time.sleep(5)
email = browser.find_element_by_id("email")
email.send_keys(fb_email)
pwd = browser.find_element_by_id("pass")
pwd.send_keys(fb_pass)
login = browser.find_element_by_id("loginbutton")
login.click()
time.sleep(5)
def fb_page():
browser.get(fb_post)
def fb_comment():
browser.find_element_by_class_name("._5rpu")
textbox.send_keys(fb_message)
textbox.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
textbox.clear()
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
fb_login()
fb_page()
fb_comment()
Here's the exception:
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: Unable to locate element: ._5rpu
It looks like you didn't click the "Comment" button, so the element with class name "_5rpu" is not yet generated.
Sorry I don't have enough posts to add a comment.

I am a novice coder. Trying my hand at creating an instagram bot and I'm following the instructions found here: (https://realpython.com/instagram-bot-python-instapy/)
I can fill in the elements for user name and password, but I'm having trouble clicking the login link. Using the -
#submit = browser.find_element_by_tag_name('form')
#submit.submit()
portion of my code works to log in, but I would like to be able to use find element by xpath and for this so I can apply it in different situations. If someone could please let me know where I can look in the HTML on the instagram page to find what I'm looking for, or direct me towards any helpful reading, I'd really appreciate it! I've tried a few ways to do this.
Here is my code. I also added photos of my code and error message.
from time import sleep
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
#sets browser to firefox - need to make sure that geckodriver and firefox are in the path
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
#opens firefox to instagram#
browser.get('https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/?source=auth_switcher')
#tells selenium to wait 5 seconds before trying again if it can't find something
browser.implicitly_wait(10)
print ('i waited')
user = 'username'
password = 'password'
##### USERNAME #####
username = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//input[#name='username']")
username.send_keys(user)
#username = browser.find_element_by_name('username')
#username.send_keys(user)
##### PASSWORD #####
password = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//input[#name='password']")
password.send_keys(password)
#password = browser.find_element_by_name('password')
#password.send_keys(password)
browser.implicitly_wait(10)
##### LOG IN #####
#instead of searching for the Button (Log In) you can simply press enter when you already selected the password or the username input element.
#submit = browser.find_element_by_tag_name('form')
#submit.submit()
#login_link = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//article/div/div/p/a[text()='Log in']")
login_link = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//a[text()='Log in']")
login_link.click()
#login_form = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//form[#id='loginForm']")
#form.submit()
print ('login incomplete :)')
sleep(5)
browser.quit() #quits geckodriver and mozilla
print ('closed')

Your xpath is bit wrong. you are using
//a[text()='Log in']
but Log in is inside div tag, not a tag.
Please use this xpath
//div[text()='Log In']/..
In your code
login_link = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//div[text()='Log In']/..")
login_link.click()
The HTML is
<div class=" qF0y9 Igw0E IwRSH eGOV_ _4EzTm ">Log In</div>
and we are using text() to target text Log in and then we are looking for button using /.. which is a parent node.
Replace this link
login_link = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//a[text()='Log in']")
with
login_link = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//div[contains(text(),'Log In')]")
And you should be good. Since the Login In button is wrapped inside a div element and not a element.
As already explained Log In is in a div tag under a button tag with type submit. You can use this xpath too.
browser.find_element_by_xpath("//button[#type='submit']").click()
I've gone through a number of similar topics here but they all seem to vary in how the pop-up window is designed. I've tried a few different ways and here is the most recent. So before I enter the login info, I need to click that client login button to access the login form but I can't even get it to open, let alone entering login information.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Chrome('C:\Login Automation\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("https://www.datamyne.com/ ")
clientlogin = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#id='holder']").click()
username = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id='user']").send_keys('myusername')
password = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id='pass']").send_keys('mypassword')
the error I'm getting here is "NoSuchWindowException: Message: no such window: target window already closed from unknown error: web view not found"
the element of the first button is this:
<a style="position: relative" href="javascript:showHide('dialog-login');" class="green-btn user-login top-right-5">Client Login</a>
and then the actual login button is another javascript line:
Login
Any tips as to how to approach this would be really appreciated!
I have inspect mention website login Form based on JavaScript. You can easily execute script through selenium. I have create a basic code snippet for you.
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("https://www.datamyne.com/")
##Javascript script execute using selenium
clientlogin = driver.execute_script("javascript:showHide('dialog-login');")
driver.implicitly_wait(5)
username = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="User"]').send_keys('myusername')
password = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="Pass"]').send_keys('mypassword')
save = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="formLoginDM"]/div[1]/a').click()
clientlogin = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#id='holder']").click()
The xpath is off. The holder isn't what you need to click.
I suspect you want:
clientlogin = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[text()='Client Login']").click()
Can you try this xpath once for the 'Client Login' pop-up modal
clientlogin = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[#class='green-btn user-login top-right-5']']").click()
I am trying to click on the profile picture on top right to be able to logout of the website.
This is Cisco's license portal website "Logout" link; when you click on the profile picture, it drops down with a "Logout" link.
I can navigate through the body without any issues, but whenever I try to access the header of the site, it fails to find the element.
Using Selenium Chrome driver version 87 with Python
I can't seem to access that Profile Picture highlighted in red in order to logout with chrome selenium driver, it keeps telling me 'Element not found' using the ID or XPATH:
################ Log out ##############################
print('>>> Logging out of Cisco Cloud website')
logout = WebDriverWait(browser, element_timeout,ignored_exceptions=ignored_exceptions)\
.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="fwt-profile-button-loggedout"]')))
time.sleep(2)
logout = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="fwt-profile-button-loggedout"]')
logout.click()
time.sleep(1)
logout1 = WebDriverWait(browser, element_timeout,ignored_exceptions=ignored_exceptions)\
.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.LINK_TEXT, 'Logout')))
time.sleep(2)
logout1 = browser.find_element_by_link_text('Logout')
logout1.click()
time.sleep(5)
------------------
I tried this based on this answer, but still cannot get it to find the element:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/48756722/12288943
def expand_shadow_element(element):
shadow_root = browser.execute_script('return arguments[0].shadowRoot', element)
return shadow_root
################# Log out ##############################
print('>>> Logging out of Cisco Cloud website')
logout1 = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="overlayBlack"]/csc-header')
shadow_root1 = expand_shadow_element(logout1)
logout2 = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="overlayBlack"]/csc-header//div')
shadow_root2 = expand_shadow_element(logout2)
logout = browser.find_element_by_id('fwt-profile-button-loggedout')
time.sleep(2)
logout.click()
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[#id="overlayBlack"]/csc-header//div"}
(Session info: chrome=87.0.4280.88)
There is a #shadow-root(0) inside the 'csc-header' tag. The element you're trying access is inside shadow-root. I think that's why you are getting an 'Element not found' error. You have to navigate into shadow first. Hope this points you in the right direction.
<csc-header>
#shadow-root (open)
<svg id='fwt-profile-button-loggedout'></svg>
</csc-header>
I'm running the following code and getting the following error:
select_survey = browser.find_element_by_class_name("ng-star-inserted").click()
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: Unable to locate element: .ng-star-inserted
this is the entire code:
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get("https://www.legeropinion.com/app/todo")
email_element = browser.find_element_by_id("email")
email_element.clear()
email_element.send_keys("something#gmail.com")
password_element = browser.find_element_by_id("password")
password_element.send_keys("password")
sign_in = browser.find_element_by_class_name("submit-btn").click()
select_survey = browser.find_element_by_class_name("ng-star-inserted").click()
I am trying to automate signing into a website and completing a form but upon clicking on the form for which the element is class = ng-star-inserted i am getting that error
edit:
this is the relevant html info i believe:
<task-block _ngcontent-buv-c2="" _nghost-buv-c9="" class="ng-star-inserted"><!----><div _ngcontent-buv-c9="" class="task ng-star-inserted"><!----><a _ngcontent-buv-c9=""
Okay so after some a lot of trial and error I finally got it to work by fluke. I don't know how but it worked!!
I simply located the element by the ABSOLUTE xpath which I copied from the HTML and then before that line i had the time sleep function like so:
time.sleep(2)
select_survey = browser.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/app-root/ion-app/ion- router-outlet/app-todo/ion-content/mat-expansion-panel[1]/div/div/div[2]/task-block[2] /div").click()
I am trying to log in to my amboss account using Selenium webdriver with python, but as I dont have much experience with it I dont understand what goes wrong. My credentials (email and password) are correct as I have used them to log into the website before.
Here is my code so far:
# run firefox webdriver from executable path
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_options=options, capabilities=cap, executable_path = path_to_driver)
driver.get("https://www.amboss.com/us/account/login")
signinusername = config['amboss']['email']
signinpassword= config['amboss']['password']
username = driver.find_element_by_id("signin_username")
username.clear()
username.send_keys(signinusername)
pwd = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id='signin_username']")
pwd.clear()
pwd.send_keys(signinpassword)
loginbutton = driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[2]/div[1]/div/div/form/div[4]/input").click()
time.sleep(20)
# execute script to scroll down the page
driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);var lenOfPage=document.body.scrollHeight;return lenOfPage;")
#element in log in page
newelement = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id='left']/p[1]/strong")
print(newelement.get_attribute('innerHTML'))
What I try to do here is log in to the platform and then grab an element which I see in the welcome page by xpath. Despite that selenium is unable to find this element and I get the following error:
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: Unable to locate element: //*[#id='left']/p[1]/strong
Does anyone understand why this happens? Is it because log in was not successful or could something else be wrong? Thanks in advance
UPDATE
The elements you were trying to fetch were in an iframe so you need to switch to that iframe so they be visible. The following works, try it.
username = driver.find_element_by_id("signin_username")
username.clear()
username.send_keys(signinusername)
pwd = driver.find_element_by_id('signin_password')
pwd.clear()
pwd.send_keys(signinpassword)
loginbutton = driver.find_element_by_class_name('amboss-button').click()
time.sleep(2)
driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);var lenOfPage=document.body.scrollHeight;return lenOfPage;")
time.sleep(2)
frames = driver.find_elements_by_tag_name('iframe')
driver.switch_to.frame(frames[4])
newelement = driver.find_elements_by_tag_name('p')[0].text # This prints the following 'You now have access to AMBOSS—an all-in-one pl....'
print(newelement)
I'm assuming you're trying to login to the system and trying to find something.
First of all your login attempt is not correct. You're entering password in the username field in your code.
Please do login like this:
At first, add this import to your python script:
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
Then do login like this:
username = driver.find_element_by_id("signin_username")
username.clear()
username.send_keys(signinusername)
pwd = driver.find_element_by_id("signin_password")
pwd.clear()
pwd.send_keys(signinpassword)
pwd.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
I'm not logging in by clicking the button. Just hitting an ENTER after logging in.
I guess correcting the login attempt will help you to find your element and print contents inside this.
I've created an account in amboss to answer your question and after logging in the only iframe I found was from google tag manager with no contents in it. So I'm not really sure if your account contains some other web views.
Hope correcting the login attempt helps.
First you wrong this is line :
pwd = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id='signin_username']")
Please change with :
pwd = driver.find_element_by_id('signin_password')
Second, use conditional if for validation success or failed login :
click login here
time.sleep(20)#here recommendation use WebDriverWait
count = len(driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[#id='left']/p[1]/strong"))
if count > 0:
print("login success")
print(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id='left']/p[1]/strong").text)
else:
print("login failed")
Make sure this is the correct locator : //*[#id='left']/p[1]/strong
