Does anyone know what the message Element maybe inside frame from different src means?
I was trying to switch to frame and python selenium is not recognizing the element.
See screen shot of iframe path and message I see.
Below is what I see and getting timeout exception though page is loaded within waitime
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(E.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.NAME,
'gsft_main')))
[![See below pic][1]][1]
Try with ID or css selector
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(E.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.ID,
'gsft_main')))
or
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(E.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,
'iframe#gsft_main')))
or
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(E.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,
'iframe[title="Main Content"]')))

I'm trying to automate a process on this page, and according to its html code, after clicking the wallet button located at the top right corner of that page, it deploys 4 main wallets to choose to log in to the page.
All of those wallets share the same class which is elements__StyledListItem-sc-197zmwo-0 QbTKh, and I wrote the code below in order to try to get their button names (Metamask, Coinbase wallet...), here:
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=s, options=opt) #execute the chromedriver.exe with the previous conditions
driver.implicitly_wait(10)
driver.get('https://opensea.io/') #go to the opensea main page.
WebDriverWait(driver, 3).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="__next"]/div/div[1]/nav/ul/div[2]/li/button'))) #wait for the wallet button to be enabled for clicking
wallet_button = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[#id="__next"]/div/div[1]/nav/ul/div[2]/li/button')
wallet_button.click() #click that wallet button
wallet_providers = driver.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, "elements__StyledListItem-sc-197zmwo-0 QbTKh") #get the list of wallet providers
for i in wallet_providers:
print(i)
After compiling the code above, I noticed that it didn't print anything, and it was due to the empty array of wallet_providers, which is very weird because I understand that by calling find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, "the_class_name") it will then return an array containing the elements that share the same class, but it didn't do that in this case.
So, I would appreciate if someone could explain me what did I do wrong? In the end, I just wanted to manage to click on the Metamask button which doesn't always stay at the same location, sometimes it's the first element of that list, sometimes the second...
You are using this CLASS_NAME elements__StyledListItem-sc-197zmwo-0 QbTKh which has space in it.
In Selenium, a class name having space will not be parsed and will throw the error.
The reason why you did not get the error is cause you are using find_elements that will either return a list of web element or nothing.
So how to resolve this?
remove the space and put a . instead to make a CSS_SELECTOR
try this:
wallet_providers = driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".elements__StyledListItem-sc-197zmwo-0.QbTKh") #get the list of wallet providers
to be honest we can have better locator than this, cause it seems these values 197zmwo-0.QbTKh are generated dynamically.
I would rather use this CSS:
li[class^='elements__StyledListItem'] span[font-weight]
or this xpath:
//li[starts-with(#class,'elements__StyledListItem')]//descendant::span[#font-weight]
Also, you should print it like this: (this is one way but there are others as well):
Code:
driver.get("https://opensea.io/")
WebDriverWait(driver, 3).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="__next"]/div/div[1]/nav/ul/div[2]/li/button'))) #wait for the wallet button to be enabled for clicking
wallet_button = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[#id="__next"]/div/div[1]/nav/ul/div[2]/li/button')
wallet_button.click() #click that wallet button
wallet_providers = driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "li[class^='elements__StyledListItem'] span[font-weight]") #get the list of wallet providers
for i in wallet_providers:
print(i.get_attribute('innerText'))
Console output:
WalletConnect
MetaMask
Coinbase Wallet
Fortmatic
Process finished with exit code 0
The locators you are using are not relative enough, and on my first inspection, I somehow didn't locate them in the DOM. So, refactored code with relative locators to make the code work.
driver.get('https://opensea.io/') #go to the opensea main page.
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//*[#title='Wallet']"))).click()
wallets = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//*[#data-testid='WalletSidebar--body']//li")))
for wallet in wallets:
print(wallet.text)
Output:
WalletConnect
MetaMask
Popular
Coinbase Wallet
Fortmatic
Process finished with exit code 0
You use the class name elements__StyledListItem-sc-197zmwo-0 QbTKh which has space in it to find the elements. Actually, in Selenium we can't use the class name to locate an element/elements which have space in it. You can use CSS-Selector instead of the class name and in CSS-Selector you need to replace the spaces of the class with a (.) dot.
OR
You can use the parent class and then tags to point to the desired elements.
div[class='Blockreact__Block-sc-1xf18x6-0.eOSaGo'] > ul > li
I'm facing an issue locating the element on screen when there are no unique identifiers like ID, text etc. As it opens URL, I need to scroll down and click on button - 'Get Started' to proceed!...
Below is my code:
global driver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get("https://My URL")
driver.implicitly_wait(10)
screen = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//div[#class="swiper-wrapper"]')
screen.click() (- This step doesnt through any error, i tried using this to scroll down the screen)
element = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//span[contains(text(),"Get Started")]')
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element )
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//span[contains(text(),"Get Started")]'))).click()
or
element.click()
Please help me in determining how to locate the element.
enter image description here
In this case you are trying to find span which is inside #shadow-root, Selenium won't be able to click elements inside #shadow-root in easy way. Look here: How to click button inside #shadow-root (closed) using Selenium and Python
But in your case you probably don't need/want to click this specific span, becouse you have custom element ion-button, which has some click event listener attached to it.
You can check XPATH value in browser devtools. If you go to Elements tab, you can right click desired element and choose option Copy>Copy Xpath. Also make sure your element is not inside iframe tag, it could cause problem as well.
I'm trying to scrape a page whose classes are in this format class="jss262 jss434 jss263"
I tried to click on a box and insert a specific value but whether I use class, xpath or css selector, the element is not identified.
I believe I missed something but I'm not sure what it is. Is there a way to modify my code in order to access this element?
My code:
try:
button2 = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ec.presence_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, 'jss262 jss434 jss263')))
button2.click()
button2.send_keys(att)
driver.implicitly_wait(5)
By.CLASS_NAME only accepts one class, use css_selector:
button2 = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '.jss262.jss434.jss263')))
I'm trying to scrape the following URL: https://www.vivareal.com.br/venda/sp/holambra/imovel-comercial_comercial/. It has two pages only. However, there is a button in the bottom which I can locate via XPATH: "//*[contains(#title, "Página anterior")]".
I'm trying to set a variable for when the button is not clickable, like:
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[contains(#title, "Página anterior")]')))
But it returns an element, even if the element is not clickable (I'm testing manually too). Is there any sugestions? Thanks!
When the button is not clickable, it has an attribute called data-disabled; otherwise that attribute is missing. The attribute has no value, but if you use the following CSS Selector it should grab that element only if there is no data-disabled attribute:
driver.find_element_by_css_selector('a[title="Página anterior"]:not([data-disabled]')
I'm having problem selecting the iframe and accessing the different elements inside it. The iframe name is dynamically generated (e.g. frame11424758092173 or frame0005809321 or frame32138092173). The problem is that Selenium can't find the iframe no matter what i do....
switching to most recent frame doesn't work:
iframe = driver.find_elements_by_tag_name('iframe')[0]
driver.switch_to_frame(iframe)
Waiting for frame gets a timeout exception:
try:
iframe = WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it(By.TAG_NAME('iframe')))
except:
logger.error(traceback.format_exc())
The following lines of code also times out:
try:
iframe = WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.TAG_NAME, u"iframe")))
driver.switch_to_frame(iframe)
except:
logger.error(traceback.format_exc())
I have also tried iterating through the frames but it can't find it. The returned list is empty
iframes = driver.find_elements_by_tag_name('iframe')
#iframes is empty
really need some help...
Have you tried locating the iframe by its XPath and using the contains method?:
iframe = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//iframe[contains(#name, "frame")]')
driver.switch_to_frame(iframe)
Now you can access elements within the iframe.
To exit the iframe use:
driver.switch_to_default_content()
The contains method lets you get an element by a partial attribute value. Pretty useful for dynamically generated IDs, names, etc. You can search by other attributes as well using XPath. For example, say your iframe element has the attribute value = "3". You could use:
iframe = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//iframe[contains(#name, "frame")][#value = "3"]')
driver.switch_to_frame(iframe)
This approach can be used with any number of attributes as well.
You could also try getting the element by its selector. Keep in mind that this limits what you can do with it:
driver.execute_script('document.querySelector("INSERT SELECTOR HERE").doSomething();')
To get the Selector and/or XPath you're going to want to inpect the element using your browser (Chrome in my case). Right click on the element. Click Inspect. Then right click on the HTML element and click Copy > Copy Xpath or Copy > Copy Selector.
If that doesn't work for me, my last resort is to go the url of the iframe.To get that, you need to right-click on the area of the webpage where the iframe exists and click View Frame Source. It'll then lead you to a new page. The url of that page will be shown in the top of the browser after view-source:. You can then simply navigate to that url:
driver.get('insert url of iframe here')
And now you have access to the elements within the iframe. I do not recommend this approach if you are manipulating elements within the iframe and then exiting the iframe. Your changes will get lost. This will only work if you are scraping info off of that iframe, NOT if you are manipulating the elements within. Finding the iframe element and switching into it is usually better and safer.
