I have an element of type hidden in an iframe. I am wondering if there would be any way to get this value as I am using selenium. More specifically it is a captcha field. I've tried pulling it with something along the lines of
#!/usr/bin/env python
from selenium import webdriver
driver=webdriver.Chrome(chrome_bin_path)
driver.get('http://websitehere.com')
print driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="recaptcha-token"]').text
but because of it's hidden nature it returns nothing.
Below is a snippet of the source.
Highlighted is the string of interest. (value)
driver.switch_to_frame('undefined')
token_value = driver.find_element_by_id('recaptcha-token').get_attribute('value')
driver.switch_to_default_content()
Moving between windows and frames.
Use this method
hidden_text = element.get_attribute("textContent")

I'm currently trying out Selenium for Python to do some web automation.
I got stuck a the checkout where you have to enter your credit card data.
I'm aware that I have to switch to iFrame to locate the input box.
But I was never able to switch the frame.
I tried it for ID or for example for this:
time.sleep(4)
frame = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//iframe[#name= '__privateHeidelpayFrame--heidelpay-holder-iframe-1616489954834']")
self.driver.switch_to.frame(frame)
name_input = self.driver.find_element_by_id("card-holder")
name_input.clear()
name_input.send_keys(credit_card.NAME)
I'm always getting "Unable to locate element : {"method":"xpath","selector":"//iframe[#name= '__privateHeidelpayFrame--heidelpay-holder-iframe-1616489954834']"}".
I added a pic from the Source Code.

I'm thankful for any advise!
Best, Jannic
Possibly id & name attribute is dynamic.
Try with starts-with() or use other attribute like class to identify the iframe.
frame = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//iframe[starts-with(#name, '__privateHeidelpayFrame--heidelpay-holder-iframe-')]")
self.driver.switch_to.frame(frame)
OR
frame = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//iframe[#class='heidelpayUIIframe']")
self.driver.switch_to.frame(frame)
Have you tried using a simpler API to find the iFrame?
Does
self.driver.find_element(By.NAME, "__privateHeidelpayFrame--heidelpay-holder-iframe-1616489954834'")
Return anything?
can someone translate this into python code so, for example, I know the first and second line will be
driver.get("link im using")
driver.set_window_size(945, 757)
I just can't figure out the rest
The equivalent python code for:
will be:
driver.get("link im using")
driver.set_window_size(945, 757)
driver.switch_to.frame(1)
driver.find_element_by_css_selector(".tg-join > span").click()

How can I select a html element no matter what frame it is in in selenium?
Switch to an iframe through Selenium and python
to select a frame you can use
driver.switch_to_frame()
to click on an item you can use
driver.find_element_by_xpath().click()
to switch to a window
driver.switch_to_window()
I'm trying to use Selenium to create a new message in my mailbox. I have a problem with finding napisz (en: 'write') button on my e-mail website. I tried to use driver.find_element_by_link_text but it doesn't work. I've managed to go workaround this problem using xpath but I'm very curious why the first method fails.
import time
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('https://profil.wp.pl/login.html?zaloguj=poczta&url=https://poczta.wp.pl/profil/')
elem_login = browser.find_element_by_name('login_username')
elem_login.send_keys('stack_scraper_wp#wp.pl')
elem_password = browser.find_element_by_name('password')
elem_password.send_keys('thankyouforhelp')
elem_zaloguj_button = browser.find_element_by_id('btnSubmit')
elem_zaloguj_button.click()
browser.get('https://poczta.wp.pl/d635/indexgwt.html#start')
elem_napisz_button = browser.find_element_by_link_text('napisz')
elem_napisz_button.click()
EDIT: I've tried to used same xpath today but it failed. Is it possible that it's somehow dynamic causing the problem?
.find_element_by_link_text() looks for a elements only. In your case, this is the button element and cannot be located using this locator.
I'm trying to use Pythons Selenium module to click on an element whose link has the text "xlsx" at the end of it. Below is the code I'm using and the details of the element. Can someone please see why Python is unable to find this element?
driver.find_element_by_partial_link_text('xlsx').click()
Here is the element details:
<a name="URL$2" id="URL$2" ptlinktgt="pt_new" tabindex="43" onfocus="doFocus_win0(this,false,true);" href="http:******/HSC8_CNTRCT_ITEMS_IMPRVD-1479218.xlsx" onclick="window.open('http:********/HSC8_CNTRCT_ITEMS_IMPRVD-1479218.xlsx','','');cancelBubble(event);return false;" class="PSHYPERLINK">HSC8_CNTRCT_ITEMS_IMPRVD-1479218.xlsx</a>
I had to remove some parts of the URL for confidentiality purposes, however, it should not impact the answering of the question.
Thanks.
Thanks for the replies. Turns out, as #Andersson mentioned, the window was in a different frame.
I solved the problem using the following code before the find_element: driver.switch_to.frame('ptModFrame_0').
You can use a CSS selector:
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("a[href*='xlsx']")
If the element still cannot be located, I would suggest using a wait statement, to ensure that the element is visible, before you interact with it.
Please try:
driver.find_element_by_xpath(".//a[contains(#href,'xlsx')]").
You can grab it by class name (class name = PSHYPERLINK).
This should work:
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
url = ''
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/path/to/chromedriver/executable')
if __name__=='__main__':
driver.get(url)
time.sleep(3)
driver.find_element_by_class_name('PSHYPERLINK').click()
When finding the attribute, make sure to use a singular '"element". Like:
driver.find_element_by_class_name('PSHYPERLINK').click()
not:
driver.find_elements_by_class_name('PSHYPERLINK').click()
Hope this helps.
I want to go to Google, and type in "Hello world" using Selenium + Python.
from selenium import webdriver
import time
import json
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path='/usr/local/lib/node_modules/phantomjs/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs')
driver.get("http://www.google.com")
Everything up until this part works fine. But now I'm having trouble understanding how I'd select their text field and enter text. The searchbar has an ID #gbqfq, but the below code returns an error.
driver.webElement('body', 'gbqfq')
Error:
'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'webelement'
Here are the docs:
http://selenium-python.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api.html#module-selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement
There are more than one way to find an Element. In your case, the easiest approach would be find_element_by_id. Your code would look like:
driver.find_element_by_id()
There are many other ways to find an element, such as find an element by Xpath, by CSS selector and etc.
I am not really sure why you had a "webElement" in your code, is it a typing mistake?
