I am facing the situation where I have to automate certain stuff, the exact scenario is I have the game loaded in the canvas, and I can able to do the click actions inside the canvas(using Actionchains offset by selenium in python) but on click, there are certain actions happening on the game like it will display some values on button click and the values get changed on every click action of the button, Here I need to fetch those text(values).
By using selenium and python, I can able to achieve only the click actions, but what exactly I need is to fetch the text displayed on the canvas. Help will be much appreciated, Thanks in advance.

I have a code in python that uses selenium chromedriver to reach a webpage and collect some data but I want to solve a issue related with a pop-up window. For example, if you go to this webpage https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BAC?p=BAC you will get two pop-up windows. One is for the acceptance of the collection of personal data (image below) and this I can handle well with the following code:
...
# Go to the website:
driver.get(main_url)
# Click accept button
driver.find_element(By.NAME, "agree").click()
...
The second one (image below) however I'm not being able to dismiss. I want the code to click on the "Maybe later" button but I cant find the button ID. Can someone help me?
I'm building a lookup tool to automate some of my work and have ran into an issue. One of the buttons I need it to press opens a new tab each time it is clicked. I plan on looping through this 15-30 times, and do not want a million tabs open. Is there any way to scrape the href from that button so that I can just navigate to it directly? Its fine if its a bit inefficient time wise, as this will be going in the background while I do other things.
currently:
button = wd.find_element("xpath" ,'xpathhere')
wd.execute_script("arguemnts[0].click()", button)
but I do not know how to pull the href from the button and am not having luck finding it online. Thank you!
I am using selenium webdriver, python to write a test case wherein I have to perform an action when a button appears on the screen. The tricky part over here is that if the button is not already present, I have to keep on refreshing the page till it comes and then perform the necessary actions.
I wanted to know if there's any other way around this so that I won't have to keep on refreshing the page?
Thank you for the help.
I am using Python and Selenium to automate this website: https://prenotami.esteri.it
The script I made fills out a form and then clicks a button to advance to the next page. These actions are carried out using Selenium's find_element_by_xpath() function. Recently, the website added a reCAPTCHA that pops up after the button is clicked, and must be completed before advancing.
I have already written a Python script that is capable of surpassing this type of captchas by using the audio option. However, in this particular website, I am not able to find the xpath to the audio button of the reCAPTCHA. Although there is an iframe that contains the reCAPTCHA, there seems not to be anything inside it.
In the first attached image you can see how this website's reCAPTCHA looks like in HTML, compared to other website that is visible in the second image, where a #document can be seen inside the iframe.
My intention is to run this program using headless Chrome, so I can't relay in any mouse control functions offered by pyautogui for example.
I've been scratching my head around this problem for a while, so any advice is useful. Thanks!
Edit: after some research I have found that this type of reCAPTCHA that doesn't need to check a "I am not a robot" checkbox is called "invisible reCAPTCHA". The captcha only pops up if the detected activity is suspicious (for example clicking too fast). I have tried adding random waits and movements to mimic human behaviour, but the captcha still appears after some tries. Since I don't think there is a way to avoid the captcha from appearing 100% of the times, the question of how to click the buttons using Selenium's find_element_by_xpath() function remains the same. Leaving this as a note just in case someone finds it useful.
Ever tried to use the following function:
add_argument("-auto-open-devtools-for-tabs")
I managed to interact with captcha
If the position is always fixed, you can use PyAutoGUI to move the mouse and click on it
import pyautogui
pyautogui.click(100, 100) # button coordinates
Since, it is in iframe, we need to move our selenium pointing to iframe and then use your xpath.
driver.switch_to.frame("c-la7g7xqfbit4")
capchaBtn = driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//button[#id='recaptcha-audio-button'])[2]")
So, the web app we're developing has a TV/PC mode, and i'm testing the ability to transit between these two modes. `
def pc_to_tv(self):
pc_to_tv = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath(
'html/body/div[1]/div/topbar/header/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/button[1]')
pc_to_tv.click()
def tv_to_pc(self):
tv_to_pc = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath(
'html/body/div[1]/div/topbar/header/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/button[2]')
tv_to_pc.click()`
The problem is, when i switch from pc to tv, the screen "zooms in", making the button appear in the same place it would be without the zoom. so, i can't click on the button with my 'tv_to_pc' method, 'cause instead on clicking on the actual button, it clicks where the button should be.
So, the solution i found was clicking on the button with coordinates, that way i'll actually click on the place i want, instead of clicking on an unclickable place like i was doing.
The thing is, i don't know how to do this, and need help on this matter.
I would suggest that you just click the button using JavaScriptExecutor. It will click it no matter where it is on the page. See How to execute a javascript in a Python webdriver and other questions for more info. The general format is
element = driver.find_element_by_id("someId")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)
Also... you don't want to use XPaths like that. Any XPath that starts at the HTML tag or is more than just a few levels deep is going to be very brittle. Do some googling on selenium xpaths and read some guides for more info.
try moveToElement and then perform click
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element);
new Actions(driver).moveToElement(element, x, y).click().perform();
x is xoffset
y is yoffset
Please see that if you use Javascript for click its not going to be native click.
