I am currently working on a project where I have to scrape individual WhatsApp profile and get certain details from it using api.whatsapp. With this link immediately the chrome browser pops up it displays a notification, which immediately stops all the code from running, I need to be able to bypass the pop up.
import time
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
# location of web driver
PATH = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver'
# selecting what web browser to use
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.get(f'https://api.whatsapp.com/send/?phone=%2B234{n}&text&type=phone_number&app_absent=0')
n = 88888888
try:
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
EC.presence_of_element_located((By.LINK_TEXT, "Continue to Chat"))
)
except:
driver.quit()
I tried using the WebDriverWait command thinking id be able to manually click cancel the pop-up tab and the code would continue.
to skip alert open whatsapp frist
driver.get('https://web.whatsapp.com/')
than use
js = """
var [ num ] = [ arguments[0]];
function openChat (t) {
var e;
t&&((e=document.createElement("a")).setAttribute("href","whatsapp://send?phone="+t),document.body.appendChild(e),e.click(),e.outerHTML="",setTimeout(1,1e3))
}
return openChat(num)
"""
driver.execute_script(js, n)

I've tried the following way, but every time I click on the "Next" button in the login, chromdriver would open a new tab and redirect me to this page.
from selenium import webdriver
path = "https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.src=finance&.intl=us&.lang=en-US&.done=https%3A%2F%2Ffinance.yahoo.com%2Fquotes%2Flogin%2Fview%2Fv1%2F"
option = webdriver.Chrome()
option.add_argument("--incognito")
option.add_argument("--disable-notifications")
browser = webdriver.Chrome("/path/to/chromedriver", optiont=option)
browser.get(path)
browser.find_element_by_name("username").send_keys("username")
# all three attempts below redirected me to the page mentioned above
browser.find_element_by_name("signin").click()
browser.find_element_by_class_name("button-container").click()
browser.find_element_by_id("login-username-form").click()
I wonder this is some kind of secutiy they have considering the redirected page.
I also tried sending password in the hidden-input-container
browser.find_element_by_name("passwd").send_keys("password")
to get selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable error. I guess I need to press the Next button before sending the password.
I'd much appreciate any help on this issue.

Browser snapshot:
I want to log-in the page and click the button which is located on top of the website but when i run code it says that element could not be found, below is my python code:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://go.xero.com/Dashboard")
user_name = driver.find_element_by_id("email")
user_name.send_keys("mnb#allied.ae")
password = driver.find_element_by_id("password")
password.send_keys()
Submit = driver.find_element_by_id("submitButton")
Submit.click()
CS = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[#class='xrh-appbutton--text']")
cs.click()
driver.quit()
below is the HTML source code:
Seems it requires some time to find the elements. To manage this you need to implement wait mechanism in your scripts. Use either implicit or explicit waits. refer this
Implicit Wait
driver.get("https://go.xero.com/Dashboard")
driver.implicitly_wait(15)
Explicit Wait
cs = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//span[#class='xrh-appbutton--text']")))
cs.click()

I've written a script that successfully makes the login on Instagram.
When I should go on my account, at home, the website displays a popup that asks you if you want notifications.
At this point, I tried a lot of solutions, but I got nothing.
I just want that, when the pop-up is displayed, the script should click on "Not now".
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
ids = []
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = '/usr/local/bin/chromedriver')
driver.get("https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/?source=auth_switcher")
usm = driver.find_element_by_name('username').send_keys("**")
pwd = driver.find_element_by_name('password').send_keys("**")
btnLog = driver.find_element_by_tag_name('form').submit()
acpt = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[contains(#class, 'aOOlW HoLwm ')]")
In the image, there's the line of the button highlighted that I want to click:
Try the following code for this:
from selenium.webdriver.support import ui
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
ui.WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".aOOlW.HoLwm"))).click()
PS: I have used 10-second wait for the element to be clickable before click on it.
Hope it helps you!
To click() on the element with text as Not now on Instagram popup notification you can use the following solution:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_argument("disable-infobars")
options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/?source=auth_switcher")
driver.find_element_by_name('username').send_keys("Giacomo")
driver.find_element_by_name('password').send_keys("Maraglino")
driver.find_element_by_tag_name('form').submit()
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[contains(.,'Non ora')]"))).click()
just add click to acpt, like this:
acpt = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[contains(#class, 'aOOlW HoLwm ')]")
acpt.click()
For some reason, the solution to this question didn't fully work for me. The script does click on "not now" then I'm redirected to the "Home" page only to find the 'activate notifications' pop-up waiting for me.
This is the solution that I came up with:
Go to https://instagram.com/
Wait for the page to load.
Find the "Not now" button on the button using the full XPATH.
Clicking on it.
Here's the code (inserted after identifying to my Instagram account):
driver.get("https://instagram.com/")
time.sleep(7)
acpt = browser.find_element(by=By.XPATH, value='/html/body/div[1]/div/div/div/div[2]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div[3]/button[2]')
acpt.click()
i am currently using selenium with python and my webdriver is firefox
i tried the click event but it doesn't work
website = www.cloudsightapi.com/api
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
import time
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
import os
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://cloudsightapi.com/api")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "dropzoneTarget")))
element.click()
Please help !!
Clicking via javascript worked for me:
element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "dropzoneTarget")))
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)
Now, the other problem is that clicking that element would only get you into more troubles. There will a file upload popup being opened. And, the problem is, you cannot control it via selenium.
A common way to approach the problem is to find the file input and set it's value to the absolute path to the file you want to upload, see:
How to upload file ( picture ) with selenium, python
In your case, the input is hidden, make it visible and send the path to it:
element = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input.dz-hidden-input[type=file]")))
# make the input visible
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].style = {};", element)
element.send_keys("/absolute/path/to/image.jpg")
Following is the code which im trying to run
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import os
import time
#Create a new firefox session
browser=webdriver.Firefox()
browser.maximize_window()
#navigate to app's homepage
browser.get('http://demo.magentocommerce.com/')
#get searchbox and clear and enter details.
browser.find_element_by_css_selector("a[href='/search']").click()
search=browser.find_element_by_class_name('search-input')
search.click()
time.sleep(5)
search.click()
search.send_keys('phones'+Keys.RETURN)
However, im unable to submit the phones using send_keys.
Am i going wrong somewhere?
Secondly is it possible to always use x-path to locate an element and not rely on id/class/css-selections etc ?
The input element you are interested in has the search_query class name. To make it work without using hardcoded time.sleep() delays, use an Explicit Wait and wait for the search input element to be visible before sending keys to it. Working code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.maximize_window()
wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 10)
browser.get('http://demo.magentocommerce.com/')
browser.find_element_by_css_selector("a[href='/search']").click()
search = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "search-query")))
search.send_keys("phones" + Keys.RETURN)
