click() function in selenium not interactable. Python [duplicate] - python

I understand this question has been asked but I need some solution for this error:

I think there is some problem with Keys.ENTER, but I don't know how to solve this. I have tried every possible solution.............

This error message...
selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable
...implies that the desired element was not interactable when you tried to invoke click() on it.
A couple of facts:
When you initialize the Chrome browser always in maximized mode.
You can disable-extensions.
You need to disable-infobars as well.
I have used the same xpath which you have constructed and you can use the following solution:
Code Block:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
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:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("https://www.goeventz.com/")
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[#track-element='header-login']"))).click()
Browser Snapshot:

copy full xpath instead of copying only xpath. It will work

Instead of using login.send_keys(Keys.ENTER) you should use selenium click() method which would work fine for you.
You can check first if the element is clickable first and then you can click on it.
Like:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[#track-element='header-login']"))).click()

Overview
It seems like you're having an XPATH problem finding the "Submit" button or your Submit button is not clickable, or your Submit button has some client side events attached to it (javascript/etc) that are required in order to effectively submit the page.
Calling the pw.submit() method in most cases should get rid of the need to wait for the submit button to become clickable and avoid any issues in locating the button in most cases. On many other websites, some of the necessary back-end processes are primed by client-side activities that are performed after the "submit" button is actually clicked (although on a side-note this is not considered best-practice because it makes the site less accessible, etc, I digress). Above all, it's important to watch your script execute and make sure that you're not getting any noticeable errors displayed on the webpage about the credentials that you're submitting.
Also, however, some websites require that you add a certain minimum amount of time between the entry of the username, password, and submitting the page in order for it to be considered a valid submitting process. I've even run in to websites that require you to use send_keys 1 at a time for usernames and passwords to avoid some anti-scraping technologies they employ. In these cases, I usually use the following between the calls:
from random import random, randint
def sleepyTime(first=5, second=10):
# returns the value of the time slept (as float)
# sleeps a random amount of time between the number variable in first
# and the number variable second (in seconds)
sleepy_time = round(random() * randint(first, second), 2)
sleepy_time = sleepy_time if sleepy_time > first else (first + random())
sleep(sleepy_time)
return sleepy_time
I don't see what use you have for making the _email and _password variables global, unless they are being changed somewhere in the login function and you want that change to be precipitated out to the other scopes.

For headless chrome browser you need to provide window size as well in chrome options.For headless browser selenium unable to know what your window size.Try that and let me know.
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
chrome_options.add_argument('window-size=1920x1480')

I faced this error as well. Now check your browser if the element is inside the iframe. If so, use driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#payment > div > div > iframe") and driver.switch_to.frame(iframe) Then you will be able to work out.

can't select a checkbox in webdriver.Chrome python

I'm trying to create a script to show only pikachus on singapore poke map and the rest of the code is to go over the elements and get the coords for it and print the list.
I'm trying for a long time many suggestions I've seen here but still unable to make the checkbox be set with the latest code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as ChromeService
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import time
def find_pokemon():
links = []
service = ChromeService(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service)
driver.get('https://sgpokemap.com/index.html?fbclid=IwAR2p_93Ll6K9b923VlyfaiTglgeog4uWHOsQksvzQejxo2fkOj4JN_t-MN8')
driver.find_element(By.ID, 'filter_link').click()
driver.find_element(By.ID, 'deselect_all_btn').click()
driver.find_element(By.ID, 'search_pokemon').send_keys("pika")
driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_elements(By.ID, "filter"))
driver.find_element(By.ID, 'checkbox_25').click()
The second part of the code is working when I'm checking the box manually after putting a breakpoint and ignoring the checkbox click() exception.
Do you have any suggestions what can I try?
Bonus question, how can I determine and close the donate view:
There are several problems with your code:
There is no element with ID = 'search_pokemon'
There is no frame there to switch into it.
You need to use WebDriverWait expected_conditions to wait for elements to be clickable.
And generally you need to learn how to create correct locators.
The following code works:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
webdriver_service = Service('C:\webdrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, service=webdriver_service)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 30)
url = "https://sgpokemap.com/index.html?fbclid=IwAR2p_93Ll6K9b923VlyfaiTglgeog4uWHOsQksvzQejxo2fkOj4JN_t-MN8"
driver.get(url)
try:
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'close_donation_button'))).click()
except:
pass
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'filter_link'))).click()
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "deselect_all_btn"))).click()
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "[name='search_pokemon']"))).send_keys("pika")
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[#class='filter_checkbox'][not(#style)]//label"))).click()
The result is:
UPD
This time I saw the donation dialog so I added the mechanism to close it.
I still can't see there element with ID = 'search_pokemon' as you mentioned.
As about the XPath to find the relevant checkbox - when pokemon name is inserted you can see in the dev tools that there are a lot of checkboxes there but all of them are invisibly while only one in our case is visible. The invisible elements are all have attribute style="display: none;" while the enabled element does not have style attribute. This is why [not(#style)] is coming there. So, I'm looking for parent element //div[#class='filter_checkbox'] who is also have no style attribute. In XPath words //div[#class='filter_checkbox'][not(#style)] then I'm just looking for it label child to click it. This can also be done with CSS Selectors as well.
The list of invisible elements with the enabled one:

Used the headless chrome option in hope to achieve better
performance.
Commented out 'count' in case I want to limit list results
(currently I'm getting like 15 results tops when unlimited
although there are many more...weird :( )
the following code wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CLASS_NAME, 'pokemon_icon_img'))) is needed for now since it's not always
showing icons right away, so it's either that or adding a constant
time delay.
Have made this method recursive in case it's unsuccessful(sometimes it still gives out exceptions)
Lastly, saveToKeep(res) method is a simple method I'm using to open
and write results into my google keep notes. Needed to get an app
password within google security settings and I'm using it with my google account credentials for login.
Any comments or regards for improvements are welcomed :D

An element is visible and still not able to click on it like I click on others like it

I click on a specific button on a page, but for some reason there is one of the buttons that I can't click on, even though it's positioned exactly like the other elements like it that I can click on.
The code below as you will notice, it opens a page, then clicks to access another page, do this step because only then can you be redirected to the real url that has the //int.

for btn in driver.find_elements(by=By.XPATH, value="//div[#data-exponload='']//button[contains(#class,'expand-icon')]"):
btn.click()
time.sleep(0.1)
I've tried adding btn.location_once_scrolled_into_view before each click to make sure the button is correctly in the click position, but the problem still persists.
I also tried using the options mentioned here:
Selenium python Error: element could not be scrolled into view
But the essence of the case kept persisting in error, I couldn't understand what the flaw in the case was.
Error text:
selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: Element <button class="expand-icon"> could not be scrolled into view

Edit 1:
I noticed that the error only happens when the element is colored orange (when they are colored orange it means that one of the competition games is happening now, in other words it is live).
But the button is still the same, it keeps the same element, so I don't know why it's not being clicked.
See the color difference:
Edit 2:
If you open the browser normally or without the settings I put in my code, the elements in orange are loaded already expanded, but using the settings I need to use, they don't come expanded. So please use the settings I use in the code so that the page opens the same.
What you missing here is to wrap the command in the loop opening those sections with try-except block.
the following code works. I tried running is several times.

for btn in driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//div[#data-exponload='' and not(contains(#class,'status-playing'))]//button[contains(#class,'expand-icon')]"):
btn.click()
time.sleep(0.1)
UPD
We need to open only closed elements. The already opened sections should be stayed open. In this case click will always work without throwing exceptions. To do so we just need to add such indication - click buttons not inside the section where status is currently playing.

Selenium wait until user clicks on button

I am trying to make a python program using selenium that opens the browser and does some stuff, waits for the user to click on a button, then selenium takes over again. I know that I am supposed to use an explicit wait but I do not know how to make selenium wait for the user to click a button on the browser before continuing with my code.
Here is a summary of my code so far:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
driver_path = my_driver_path
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=driver_path, chrome_options=options)
driver.get(my url)
... (Some code that does automation stuff until a certain point)
#What do I do here?
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
...(After the user clicks I want the program to resume)
Presumably, something on the website changes when the user clicks on the button. Define that change as the wait condition.
For example, if you expect an element to pop up:
def is_visible(by, identifier):
def condition(driver):
elems = driver.find_elements(by, identifier)
ele = elems and elems[0]
exists_and_displayed = ele and ele.is_displayed()
return exists_and_displayed
return condition
wait.until(is_visible(By.ID, 'added_or_unhidden_after_click'))
Or if you expect something to disappear:
def is_not(condition):
#ft.wraps(condition)
def wrapper(driver):
return not condition(driver)
return wrapper
wait.until(is_not(is_visible(By.ID, 'removed_or_hidden_after_click')))
(typed from memory, might have a syntax error or so, but you should get the idea)
(The built-in expected_conditions as EC basically do these same things, but I run into small issues with them here and there the way they're written, so I prefer to roll my own.)

Problems logging in to site with Selenium

I'm trying to learn how to use Selenium to log into a site:Ingram-Micro. I made a script and it worked on a different page: https://news.ycombinator.com/login.
Now I'm trying to apply the same thing to Ingram-Micro and I'm stuck and I don't know what else to try. The problem I'm having is a error/message that says the submit element is not clickable, there is a accept cookies button on the bottom of the page which seems to be causing the problem.
I've tried to account for it but I always get error saying that element doesn't exist. Yet if I don't try to click on the accept cookies element I get the original error saying the submit button isn't clickable. Here is my code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
import time
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
url = "https://usa.ingrammicro.com/_layouts/CommerceServer/IM/Login.aspx?
returnurl=//usa.ingrammicro.com/"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)
driver.get(url)
def login():
USERNAME = 'email'
PASSWORD = 'password'
element = driver.find_element_by_link_text('I ACCEPT')
if element.is_displayed():
print("Element found")
element.click()
else:
print("Element not found")
driver.find_element_by_id('okta-signin-username').send_keys(USERNAME)
driver.find_element_by_id('okta-signin-password').send_keys(PASSWORD)
driver.find_element_by_id('okta-signin-submit').click()
login()
try:
me = driver.find_element_by_id("login_help-about")
print(f"{me.text} Element found")
except NoSuchElementException:
print('Not found')
driver.quit()
Here are the errors I get:
selenium.common.exceptions.ElementClickInterceptedException: Message: element click intercepted: Element <input class="button button-primary" type="submit" value="Log in" id="okta-signin-submit" data-type="save"> is not clickable at point (365, 560). Other element would receive the click: <p class="cc_message">...</p>
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate
element: {"method":"link text","selector":"I ACCEPT"}
(Session info: headless chrome=84.0.4147.125)
The challenge you face is synchronisation around scripts.
The chain of events on this site is 1) the page is loaded, 2) it kicks off it's javascript, 3) that slides the cookie window into view...
However, after the page is loaded, selenium doesn't know about the scripts so it thinks it is good to go. It's trying to click the button before it's there and gets upset that it can't find it. (NoSuchElementException)
There are different sync strategies - What works here is a webdriverwait to tell selenium to wait (without error) until that your object reached the specified expected conditions.
You can read more about waits and expected conditions here
Try this code.
For the cookie "I ACCEPT" button, I changed the identifier to xpath (since i like xpaths) and wrapped it in webdriverwait, waiting for the object to be clickable...
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
import time
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
chrome_options = Options()
#chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
url = "https://usa.ingrammicro.com/_layouts/CommerceServer/IM/Login.aspx?returnurl=//usa.ingrammicro.com/"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)
driver.get(url)
def login():
USERNAME = 'email'
PASSWORD = 'password'
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//a[text()="I ACCEPT"]')))
if element.is_displayed():
print("Element found")
element.click()
else:
print("Element not found")
driver.find_element_by_id('okta-signin-username').send_keys(USERNAME)
driver.find_element_by_id('okta-signin-password').send_keys(PASSWORD)
driver.find_element_by_id('okta-signin-submit').click()
login()
Note that i had to remove headless to check it worked and there are 3 additional imports at the top.
Webdriverwait is great when you don't have lots of complicated objects, or have ojects with different wait conditions.
An alternative sync and (Easier in my opionin) is to set an implicit wait ONCE at the start of your script - and this configures the driver objecct.
driver.implicitly_wait(10)
As that link earlier says:
An implicit wait tells WebDriver to poll the DOM for a certain amount
of time when trying to find any element (or elements) not immediately
available. The default setting is 0. Once set, the implicit wait is
set for the life of the WebDriver object.
You can use it like this .. not doing all the code, just add this one line added after you create your driver and your code worked:
.....
url = "https://usa.ingrammicro.com/_layouts/CommerceServer/IM/Login.aspx?returnurl=//usa.ingrammicro.com/"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)
driver.get(url)
driver.implicitly_wait(10) # seconds
def login():
USERNAME = 'email'
PASSWORD = 'password'
element = driver.find_element_by_link_text('I ACCEPT')
if element.is_displayed():
print("Element found")
element.click()
else:
print("Element not found")
........
You probably need to click on the div above the input. try somethin like this:
child = driver.find_element_by_id('okta-signin-submit')
parent = child.find_element_by_xpath('..') # get the parent
parent.click() # click parent element
UPDATE: This worked great on geckodrive without headless, but not with chromedrive. so instead i've tried something else. Instead of clicking the button, lets just hit enter in the form and submit it this way:
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
...
driver.find_element_by_id('okta-signin-username').send_keys(USERNAME)
password_field = driver.find_element_by_id('okta-signin-password')
password_field.send_keys(PASSWORD)
password_field.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

Selenium in Python expected conditions works with Firefox but not Chrome

I log into a private site and then wait for a link text to appear and then open the link with browser.get(). The code below throws a timeout exception almost every time while waiting for the link text "OTD" to appear. It is strange that it works once out of many tries. Even stranger is that if I use a sleep timer instead of the wait for expected condition, it works, but that is not what I want to use.
Here is the html:
<a target="_blank" href="/privateurl">OTD</a>
And here is the code that uses chromedriver:
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
import webbrowser
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
prefs = {'download.default_directory' : 'E:\\folder'}
chrome_options.add_experimental_option('prefs', prefs)
browser = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
#browser.get('private url login page')
#enter login information and submit
wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 10)
wait.until(
EC.presence_of_element_located((By.LINK_TEXT, "OTD"))
)
browser.get('private url')
I have the same code, but for the Firefox driver and it works perfectly every time. I just need to use Chrome browser instead.
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
import webbrowser
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference("browser.download.folderList", 2)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.dir", 'E:\\folder')
profile.set_preference("browser.download.useDownloadDir", True)
browser=webdriver.Firefox(profile)
#browser.get('private url login page')
#enter login information and submit
wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 10)
wait.until(
EC.presence_of_element_located((By.LINK_TEXT, "OTD"))
)
browser.get('private url')
What am I doing wrong in the code using the chromedriver that is making it throw a timeout exception?
There are a couple of things to address :
Finally as you are invoking click() on the WebElement so instead of the expected_conditions clause as presence_of_element_located() you should use the clause element_to_be_clickable(locator).
When you use expected_conditions clause as element_to_be_clickable(locator) the WebElement is returned back and you can directly invoke click() method on it.
Your optimized line of code will be :
WebDriverWait(browser, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, "OTD"))).click()
Update A
As per your comment update you are seeing the error :
'element_to_be_clickable' object has no attribute 'click'
An alternative would be to extract the href attribute and invoke get() as follows :
element = WebDriverWait(browser, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.LINK_TEXT, "OTD")))
attr_href = element.get_attribute("href")
driver.get(attr_href)
Update B
As per your comment update the idea of Selenium does interact with the element ... even though it is unable to attain visibility_of_element is not a full proof solution as :
The expected_conditions clause presence_of_element_located(locator) mentions :
class selenium.webdriver.support.expected_conditions.presence_of_element_located(locator)
An expectation for checking that an element is present on the DOM of a page. This does not necessarily mean that the element is visible.
locator - used to find the element returns the WebElement once it is located.
Where as the expected_conditions clause visibility_of_element_located(locator) mentions :
class selenium.webdriver.support.expected_conditions.visibility_of_element_located(locator)
An expectation for checking that an element is present on the DOM of a page and visible. Visibility means that the element is not only displayed but also has a height and width that is greater than 0.
locator - used to find the element returns the WebElement once it is located and visible.
From Selenium perspective if an element is not displayed Selenium won't be interact with the element e.g. invoking click()
