I am using Selenium Webdriver in Python and I got stuck trying to activate a javascript button.
What I need to do here is to click the Go to Previous Month button twice so that I have August 2014.
And then I need to click on one of the days.
The images below show the code. Please tell me if I need to provide more info.
THIS IS THE "GO TO PREVIOUS MONTH BUTTON" + INSPECT ELEMENT
AND HERE I'VE CLICKED ON THE 1ST OF AUGUST + INSPECT ELEMENT ON "1"
How do I do it?
First find your element with CSS selectors (you need to be familiar how CSS selectors work - this is prerequisite for most web development):
elem = webdriver.find_element_by_css_selector("a[title='Go to previous month']")[0]
Related WebDriver documentantion.
Then when you get your elem (there might paeg loading time, etc. issues you need to deal with) you can click it.
elem.click()

I want to make a automatic google login with selenium but i cannot find the elements, the buttoenter image description heren "Next", because the class
is modified each time when we come to start a browser with selenium, or when we reset the login page and does not have Id, but the button is in a div that includes just this button,
I would like someone to help me find a solution to find how I can use this button in order to click it to skip the page where you have to put your email address to skip to the password
i would like to use css selector
(Google Chrome the browser I use)
I code with Selenium 4.2.0 on Linux Unbuntu
driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'button[class="VfPpkd-LgbsSe VfPpkd-LgbsSe-OWXEXe-k8QpJ VfPpkd-LgbsSe-OWXEXe-dgl2Hf nCP5yc AjY5Oe DuMIQc LQeN7 qIypjc TrZEUc lw1w4b"]').click()
That will click the 'Next' button on Google login. Good luck getting any further though. Google seems to block logging in on Chromium.
You can either use jsname as an alternative for finding the element
I found a similar question here How can I inspect element in to div with jsname?
I think the person is doing pretty same thing
Hope this helps :)
I am having some issues with Selenium not clicking the pop-up privacy button on https://www.transfermarkt.com/
Here is my code so far:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://www.transfermarkt.com/')
accept_button = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div/div[2]/div[3]/div[2]/button')
accept_button.click()
It comes up saying:
NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"/html/body/div/div[2]/div[3]/div[2]/button"}
Anyone have any thoughts?
I believe the issue is that the element you are trying to click is inside an iframe. In order to click that element you'll have to first switch to that frame. I noticed the iframe has title="SP Consent Message" so I'll use a CSS Selector to identify it based on that. Your code with the added line:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://www.transfermarkt.com/')
driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element_by_css_selector('iframe[title="SP Consent Message"]'))
accept_button = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div/div[2]/div[3]/div[2]/button')
accept_button.click()
Note that you may have to switch back to the default frame to continue your test, I'm not 100% sure as that iframe has gone away.
Also it seems like some folks don't get that popup when the hit the website, not sure why, may be something you want to look in to to determine how you want to test this.
Like #Prophet says you should improve the xpath for the button (again it seems to have a unique title so I would use CSS Selector 'button[title="ACCEPT ALL"]'), but this works for me to click it.
There are 2 issues here:
You need to add wait / delay before accept_button = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div/div[2]/div[3]/div[2]/button') to let the page load
It's very, very bad practice to use absolute XPaths. You have to define an unique, short and clear related XPath expression.
Additionally, I see no pop-up privacy button when I open that page. So, maybe that element is indeed not there.
I wanted to scroll down in an element, where the scrollbar doesnt have a tag/element. I did quite a few research on this but i couldnt find anything for that specific case. Im using Selenium for Python
We are talking about the Site "www.swap.gg", its a site for csgo skins, and in order to load every item from the bot, you need to scroll down in the element "Bot inventory". The Site looks like this when using F12 in browser it looks like this The respective element
There is no key which you can use to scroll down there, therefore the .send_keys() command doesnt work by any chance. I also tried the touchactions.scroll_from_element(element,xoffset,yoffset) but didn't have any luck either. Im using Firefox as a webdriver incase that matters.
The xpath of the element is "/html/body/div/div1/section1/div[2]/div[3]/div[2]/div[2]"
The CSS selector is "div.is-paddingless:nth-child(3)"
Any ideas?
Find the parent div
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div/div[1]/section[1]/div[2]/div[3]/div[2]/div[2]')
Scroll down to trigger the reload
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollBy(0, 500)", element)
import selenium
import selenium.webdriver
import time
driver = selenium.webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://swap.gg/')
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div/div[1]/section[1]/div[2]/div[3]/div[2]/div[2]')
for i in range(20):
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollBy(0, 500)", element)
time.sleep(2)
I am using Selenium WebDriver to do automated testing of a website. I have been successful in clicking through numerous menus and links to a point.
At one point the website I am working with generates links that look like this:
<U onclick="HourglassSubmitItem(document.all('PageName').value, '00000001Responsibility Code')">Responsibility Code</U>
I am trying to use the .click functionality of the webdriver to click this link with no success.
Using this:
page.find_element_by_xpath("//u[contains(text(),'Responsibility Code')]")
successfully finds the U tag above. but when I add .click() to the end of this xpath, the click is not performed. But it also does not generate an error. So, my question is can Selenium be used to simulate clicks on an HTML tag that is NOT an anchor () tag? If so, how?
I will also say that I do not have control over the page I am working with, so changing the to is not possible.
I would appreciate any guidance the Community could provide.
Thank You for you help,
Chris
Sometimes using JavaScript could solve the "clicking" issue:
element = page.find_element_by_xpath("//u[contains(text(),'Responsibility Code')]")
page.execute_script('arguments[0].click();', element)
You can prefer JavaScript in this case.
WebElment element = page.find_element_by_xpath("//u[contains(text(),'Responsibility Code')]")
JavaScriptExecutor executor = (JavaScriptExecutor)driver;
executor.ExecuteScript("arguments[0].click();", element);

I am doing find by id/xpath/name and they all fail for the accept button. Here is my latest effort
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="Accept"]').click()
copied straight from chrome web tool
The button is located inside a frame. Given xpath is correct only inside a frame. I tested xpaths in chrome console and this is what I got:
In case of main page (https://www.mykplan.com/participantsecure_net/TermsAndConditions.aspx) xpath couldn't be located:
$x('//*[#id="Accept"]');
[]
In case of frame contents only (https://www.mykplan.com/participantsecure_net/TermsAndConditionsBottom.aspx) xpath could be found:
$x('//*[#id="Accept"]');
[<input type="submit" name="Accept" value="I agree" id="Accept">]
In selenium, I guess you need to switch to a frame before looking for xpath. I think that web driver function
driver.switch_to_frame("frameName")
should help. In your case, frame with buttons is called "bottomFrame".
