Selenium cant use the find_element_by_css_selector()

The Situation:
Firstly I would like to say that am new to selenium and decided to pick it up to practice some python. I am currently following a tutorial online and decided to make a youtube bot.
The Code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.webdriver import WebDriver
import time
import random
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
def login_with_username_and_password(browser, username, password):
# FILL UP THE LOGIN FORM
email_input = browser.find_elements('input[type=email]')
email = username
for letter in email:
email_input.send_keys(letter)
wait_time = random.randint(0,1000)/1000
time.sleep(wait_time)
next_button = browser.find_elements_by_css_selector("button")
time.sleep(2)
next_button[2].click()
time.sleep(2)
password_input = browser.find_element_by_css_selector('input[type=password]')
password = password
for letter in password:
password_input.send_keys(letter)
wait_time = random.randint(0,1000)/1000
time.sleep(wait_time)
next_button = browser.find_elements_by_css_selector("button")
time.sleep(2)
next_button[1].click()
confirm_button = browser.find_elements_by_css_selector("div[role=button]")
time.sleep(2)
if(len(confirm_button)>0):
confirm_button[1].click()
def click_on_agree_and_signin(browser):
# agree_button= browser.find_element_by_css_selector('button')
# time.sleep(2)
# agree_button.click()
signin_buttons= browser.find_elements_by_css_selector(".signin")
time.sleep(6) # Wait longer so the message pops up
while(len(signin_buttons)== 0):
signin_buttons= browser.find_elements_by_css_selector(".signin")
time.sleep(1)
signin_buttons[0].click()
def enter_search_term(browser,search_term):
# Enter text on the search term
search_input = browser.find_element_by_id("search")
for letter in search_term:
search_input.send_keys(letter)
wait_time = random.randint(0,1000)/1000
time.sleep(wait_time)
search_input.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
def enter_comment(browser, comment):
comment_input = browser.find_element_by_css_selector("ytd-comment-simplebox-renderer")
entering_comment_actions = ActionChains(browser)
entering_comment_actions.move_to_element(comment_input)
entering_comment_actions.click()
for letter in comment:
entering_comment_actions.send_keys(letter)
wait_time = random.randint(0,1000)/1000
entering_comment_actions.pause(wait_time)
entering_comment_actions.perform()
time.sleep(1)
send_comment_button = browser.find_element_by_id("submit-button")
send_comment_button.click()

# BOT STARTS HERE #
###########################################
driver=webdriver.Chrome()
driver.maximize_window
driver.get("https://www.youtube.com/")
all_search_terms = ['online marketing']
# Click Agree and Sing In
click_on_agree_and_signin(driver)
# Sign In
login_with_username_and_password(driver, "hey289895#gmail.com", "-1qa2ws3ed4rf-")
for search_term in all_search_terms:
enter_search_term(driver, search_term)
time.sleep(2)
thumbnails = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("ytd-video-renderer")
for index in range(1, 6):
thumbnails[index].click()
time.sleep(6)
enter_comment(driver, "love it")
driver.execute_script("window.history.go(-1)")
thumbnails = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("ytd-video-renderer")
time.sleep(1)
driver.close()
The Problem:
When Running this code it produces an error related to the find_element_by_css_selector method. Most frequently during the sign in phase as shown here.
The Question:
Can anybody explain what is going on here and where I am going wrong, as well as how I can fix this please.

First: it is only warning, not error.
In my version 3.141.0 I can use both methods
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome() # Firefox()
driver.find_elements_by_css_selector(...)
driver.find_elements_by_xpath(...)
# etc.
and
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
driver = webdriver.Chrome() # Firefox()
driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, ...)
driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, ...)
# etc.
but it seems they plan to remove functions find_elements_by_... in the future (in versions 4.x) and now find_elements_by_... still works but it shows warning that you should use second method find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, ...).
You could use module warnings to hide these warnings but better start using only second method.
BTW:
In source code for find_elements_by_css_selector you can see it runs warning.warn(...) and next it runs find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, ...)
To check what version you use
import selenium
print(selenium.__version__)

How to click on the first result on a dynamic page using python selenium?

I am trying to click on the first result on this page, but all the options I tried didn't work.
Firstly I just login into the website with email: kocianlukyluk#gmail.com and password: Redfinpython06. Here is the code for it:
driver = webdriver.Chrome("C:\\Users\\kocia\\OneDrive\\Plocha\\Python\\nastaveni\\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get('https://www.redfin.com/myredfin/favorites')
email = 'kocianlukyluk#gmail.com'
password = 'Redfinpython06'
time.sleep(3)
driver.find_element_by_xpath(
'//*[#id="content"]/div[6]/div/div[2]/div/div/form/span[1]/span/div/input').send_keys(email)
time.sleep(3)
driver.find_element_by_xpath(
'//*[#id="content"]/div[6]/div/div[2]/div/div/form/span[2]/span/div/input').send_keys(password)
time.sleep(3)
sing_up = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('button[type=submit]')
sing_up.click()
But the problem is after login i can't click on the first result on the page.
Here is what i tried:
result = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[#id="content"]/div[10]/div/div[5]/div/div[2]/div/div")[0]
result.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id="content"]/div[10]/div/div[5]/div/div[2]/div/div/div[1]").click()
or
result = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[#id="content"]/div[10]/div/div[5]/div/div[2]/div/div")[0]
result.click()
or
result = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id="content"]/div[10]/div/div[5]/div/div[2]/div/div/div[1]")
result.click()
Thank you so much for help.

I hope that is a dummy email and password that you are just using for testing purposes :)
Below clicks on the first house picture in the list. I also cleaned up your email and password xpath designations. You can see how much easier it is to grab them by name
Also, you may want to put proper wait methods around these find elements. Using sleep generally is not recommended
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from time import sleep
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://www.redfin.com/myredfin/favorites')
email = 'kocianlukyluk#gmail.com'
password = 'Redfinpython06'
sleep(3)
driver.find_element_by_name(
'emailInput').send_keys(email)
sleep(3)
driver.find_element_by_name(
'passwordInput').send_keys(password)
sleep(3)
sing_up = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('button[type=submit]')
sing_up.click()
sleep(3)
first_house = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#class='FavoritesHome'][1]//img")
first_house.click()

Find elements by input type

I'm trying Python and Selenium. My goal is to log myself into Discord (https://discordapp.com/login. But here is the problem. I can't manage to get the email and password box selected. But the worst part is trying to select a textbox on a server... I tried everything, even locating by XPath, but I can't seem to do it right. Also, doing it on ATOM is probably not the best idea since I don't get any error messages :P. Here is a snippet to select the email textbox.
from selenium
import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys
import Keys
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('https://discordapp.com/login')
assert 'discordapp' in browser.title
elem = browser.find_element_by_name('textarea')# this is the part where i need help
elem.send_keys('test' + Keys.ENTER)

For email this css selector should work :
input[type='email']
For password :
input[type='password']
I've tested this code :
browser.get("https://discordapp.com/login")
elem = browser.find_element_by_css_selector("input[type='email']")# this is the part where i need help
elem.send_keys("itsolidude#imail.com")
elem1 = browser.find_element_by_css_selector("input[type='password']")# this is the part where i need help
elem1.send_keys("password")
login_button = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//div[text()='Login']/parent::button")
login_button.click()
This worked fine on my machine.

you need to check the div container and add them into the xpath.
Try the following code and please debug the indents, in case that stackoverflow is not transferring them properly (well, I don't know how to do it nice and correctly.)
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import time
class loginPage():
def test(self):
baseUrl = 'https://discordapp.com/login'
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path="G:\\webdriver/geckodriver.exe")
driver.maximize_window()
driver.implicitly_wait(5)
driver.get(baseUrl)
mail = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//div[3]/div[1]/div/input[contains(#type,'email')]")
time.sleep(5)
mail.send_keys("test#gmail.com")
time.sleep(3)
print("Enter mail adress")
password = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//div[3]/div[2]/div/input[contains(#type,'password')]")
time.sleep(5)
password.send_keys("123456789")
time.sleep(3)
print("Enter password")
time.sleep(10)
driver.quit()
ff = loginPage()
ff.test()

Login To Discord Website using Python and Selenium:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://discord.com/login")
time.sleep(6)
username_input = driver.find_element_by_name('email')
username_input.send_keys("enter-your-username-here")
password_input = driver.find_element_by_name('password')
password_input.send_keys("Enter-your-password-here")
login_button = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="app-mount"]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div/form/div/div/div[1]/div[3]/button[2]')
login_button.click()

how to download linkedin (save as pdf option) using python

Image what i want to download.
Image is of LinkedIn profile page of my friend
i want to click on that save-as-pdf option for many users.
can that be downloaded using python code? for different users?
or can it be downloaded using any other language?

Yes you can automate this with python that works for every profile, so you dont have to worry about ids changing
import time
import os
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
login = "Email address goes here"
password = "Type your password here"
#start browser session
chromedriver = "/home/romtein/chromedriver" #change this to your selenium driver
os.environ["webdriver.chrome.driver"] = chromedriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver)
#open linkedin in automated browser
driver.get("https://www.linkedin.com/")
time.sleep(1)
#logs you into Linkedin
driver.find_element_by_id("login-email").send_keys(str(login))
password = driver.find_element_by_id("login-password").send_keys(str(password))
driver.find_element_by_id("login-submit").click()
print("successfully logged in")
#navigates to your connections
time.sleep(1)
driver.get("https://www.linkedin.com/mynetwork/invite-connect/connections/")
time.sleep(1)
#opens a new tab of your top contact
ActionChains(driver).key_down(Keys.CONTROL).send_keys('t').perform()
contact_page_open = driver.find_element_by_class_name("mn-connection-card__name").click()
time.sleep(2)
#switch to new tab
driver.switch_to_window(driver.window_handles[1])
time.sleep(1)
# ActionChains(driver).key_up(Keys.CONTROL).perform()
#click the "more" button
driver.find_element_by_class_name("pv-s-profile-actions__overflow").click()
time.sleep(1)
#saves profile to pdf
driver.find_element_by_class_name("pv-s-profile-actions pv-s-profile-actions--save-to-pdf").click()
time.sleep(1)
Let me know if you have any questions

How to click on confirmation button using Selenium with Python?

I have the following Code that goes to a URL(www.example.com), and clicks on a link(Example 1). (This part works fine)
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("https://www.example.com")
link = driver.find_element_by_link_text('Example 1')
link.click()
Now, when we click on 'Example 1' link, it opens a confirmation window, with 2 buttons: 'Yes I am authorized user to this site' and 'No I am a new visitor to this site'
So, I wish to click on 'Yes I am authorized user to this site' and then finally enter my log-in credentials.
I have written these 2 lines, just below the above code, for clicking on that button. But these don't work.
button = driver.find_element_by_name("'Yes I am authorized user to this site'")
button.click()

If it is an alert window, you need to use the Alert command.
#import Alert
from selenium.webdriver.common.alert import Alert
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("https://www.example.com")
link = driver.find_element_by_link_text('Example 1')
link.click()
Alert(driver).accept()
#to dismiss alert
#Alert(driver).dismiss()
I think this would have solved your query.

Based on the comment conversation, I would recommend both using an XPATH search (instead of Name or Id) and waiting for elements to be clickable or loaded. When web-driving or web-scraping, pages may intentionally or accidentally load slowly and this can cause issues if you have pauses or waits either hard coded or non-existent. This snippet of code should allow you to search Google using Selenium and Chromedriver (you can modify the driver function to use Firefox or something else if you'd like):
from selenium import webdriver
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.common.exceptions import ElementNotVisibleException
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from time import sleep
def init_driver(drvr_path):
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(drvr_path+'chromedriver.exe',chrome_options=chrome_options)
driver.wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 5)
return driver
def lookup(query, driver=None, drvr_path=''):
driver = None
if driver is None:
driver = init_driver(drvr_path)
driver.implicitly_wait(45) # Allow up to 45 Seconds for page to load
driver.get("http://www.google.com")
try:
box = driver.wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, """//*[#id="lst-ib"]""")))
box.send_keys(query)
sleep(3) # Let you see the window open
button = driver.wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"""//*[#id="sblsbb"]/button""")))
try:
button.click()
except ElementNotVisibleException, s:
print "Error Handled: "+str(s)
button = driver.wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"""//*[#id="sblsbb"]/button""")))
try:
button.click()
except:
print "Could not search Google..."
return
resp=driver.page_source.encode('utf-8')
with open(query+'.html','wb') as f:
f.write(resp)
print 'Wrote the File...'
except:
print("Box or Button not found in google.com")
driver.quit()
For example, if your Chromedriver.exe file was located in your default Python path, you could do something like: lookup('Selenium Python XPATH Examples') and it should download an HTML file of the Google Search results. If you already have a Driver initialized, you could of course pass that to it.
Hope this helps

Try this code, hope it will help you
from selenium import webdriver
import time
driver = webdriver.Chrome('path to chromedriver\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('https://www.example.com')
driver.maximize_window()
link = driver.find_element_by_link_text('Example 1')
link.click()
handles =driver.window_handles # this will give window handles
driver.switch_to.window(handles[1])
button = driver.find_element_by_name("'Yes I am authorized user to this site'")
button.click()
