I was trying to understand how to change between iframes in selenium webdriver, but I could not figure it out.
In the image ahead, is the iframe that I want to switch to:
Snapshot:
//iframe[#class='viewer pbi-frame']
Should be a simple xpath using driver.switch_to.frame()
Or
//iframe[#title='Power BI Report Viewer']
In order to switch to the iframe you can use code like this:
driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element_by_css_selector("//iframe[#title='PowerBi Report Viewer']"))
When finished working inside the iframe you will have to switch back to the default content with
driver.switch_to.default_content()
The website is Power BI based, so to switch within the <iframe> so you have to:
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.
You can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe[title='PowerBi Report Viewer']")))
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[#title='PowerBi Report Viewer']")))
Note : You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

I'm trying to write some text to an element which looks like this:
The HTML code looks like this:
What I'am trying to do is to figure out, how it would be possible to send text in the form via Selenium.
I've tried alot of things but unfortinatly nothing works. Currently this is the code I have at the moment. I choose to use #class as an indicator of the frame as this value doesn´t change everytime the website reloads.
iframeDescription = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//iframe[#class='ifrm']")
driver.switch_to.frame(iframeDescription)
time.sleep(2)
print(iframeDescription)
formInput = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "html")
formInput.send_keys("a random Text I wish would appear inside this Box")
I would appreciate some advice.
Edit: thanks for the quick answers guys, I don´t have input tho- or am I missing something? I´ve wrote "test" into the form on the website to try and locate it.

The element is within an <iframe> so you have to:
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable.
Note: You can't send a character sequence to the body tag, instead you have to locate the relevant <input> tag to send the text.
You can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe[title='Standard']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "body input"))).send_keys("Sawa")
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[#title='Standard']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//body//input"))).send_keys("Sawa")
Note : You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

I am attempting to click a button using an XPath but I am unable to locate the element. Complete noob here.
Here is the button element I copied:
<button _ngcontent-ygw-c218="" class="btn"><span _ngcontent-ygw-c218="" translate="">SHOW ALL</span></button>
Here is my programming:
ShowAll =driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="app-SelectComponents"]/div[1]/button[1]')
ShowAll.click()
I have tried the following solution I found online to no avail (I've also replaced the 'btn' with 'SHOW ALL', no luck there):
driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element_by_name('btn'))
ShowAll =driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="app-SelectComponents"]/div[1]/button[1]')
ShowAll.click()
driver.switch_to.default_content()
Much appreciated.
EDIT: Here is a picture for reference. What am I doing wrong or what I can do to work around this issue?
You need to add time to make sure the element is available before asking selenium to pick it.
Try this:
import time
driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element_by_name('btn'))
time.sleep(5) #you can change the 5 depending on the number that works
ShowAll =driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="app-SelectComponents"]/div[1]/button[1]').click()
driver.switch_to.default_content()
The element with the text as SHOW ALL is within an <iframe> so you have to:
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable.
You can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe#iParts")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button.btn > span[translate]"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[#id='iParts']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[#class='btn']/span[text()='SHOW ALL']"))).click()

Anybody has a solution to locate a button in webpage with an overlayed popup window like in the following example:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'./geckodriver')
driver.get("https://www.academics.de/")
#after waiting for a while the popup window comes up
driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[contains(text(), 'Zustimmen')]")
The returned list is empty. Running the following
driver.find_element_by_css_selector(".button-accept")
results in:
NoSuchElementException: Message: Unable to locate element: .button-accept
The element with the text as E-Mail Login is within an iframe so you have to:

An easy workaround to your problem would be to use uBlock Origin extension + Fanboy's Annoyances blocklist on your Selenium instance so that these annoying cookies messages would outright never appear. A way of enabling extensions is described in this StackOverflow answer:
Create a new firefox profile via right click windows start button >
run > firefox.exe -P
Then add whatever extensions you want, ublock, adblock plus etc
Call your profile folder with
profile = selenium.webdriver.FirefoxProfile("C:/test")
browser = selenium.webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile, options=ops)
Hi I was trying to type the username field using Selenium and Python for the website https://mail.protonmail.com/create/new?language=en.
From the developer tool, I am able to inspect the item using CSSSelector/Xpath or other way. But when I am running the pthon script its not working. Screenshot attached:
My code is like the following:
BASE_URL = 'https://mail.protonmail.com/create/new?language=en'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='./drivers/chromedriver')
driver.get(BASE_URL)
river.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="username"]').send_keys('someStringValue')
And after executing the following code, geetting the error:
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[#id="username"]"}
(Session info: chrome=83.0.4103.97)
Any suggestion?
The Email Address field is within an <iframe> so you have to:
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable.
You can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
driver.get('https://mail.protonmail.com/create/new?language=en')
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"div.usernameWrap iframe[title='Registration form']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input.input#username"))).send_keys("FunnyBoss")
Using XPATH:
driver.get("https://mail.protonmail.com/create/new?language=en")
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//div[#class='usernameWrap']//iframe[#title='Registration form']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[#class='input' and #id='username']"))).send_keys("FunnyBoss")
Note : You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Switch to an iframe through Selenium and python
Your xpath is OK, but the forms are inside an iframe.
So you need to switch to the iframe first:
driver.switchTo().frame(n);
Edit: If you read the TOS, you will see

I'm new to Selenium. I'm trying to write a Python script that will log in to a particular form. The form is located at http://www.tvta.ca/securedContent
The code I'm running is:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://tvta.ca/securedContent/")
elem = driver.find_element_by_name("txtUserName")
elem.clear()
elem.send_keys("<<my email>>")
I get an error that says:
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: Unable to locate element: [name="txtUserName"]
I'm not sure what I'm missing here? I've checked the source of the webpage the login field is definitely named txtUserName.
You need to switch to the frame to write text in the textbox, try to check syntax once as I have less in good in Python
framLogin= driver.find_element_by_id("membeeLoginIF")
driver.switch_to.frame(framLogin)
EmailTxt = driver.find_element_by_name("txtUserName");
EmailTxt.send_Keys("Test#gmail.com");
Same in Java
WebElement framLogin= driver.findElement(By.id("membeeLoginIF"));
driver.switchTo().frame(framLogin);
WebElement EmailTxt = driver.findElement(By.name("txtUserName"));
EmailTxt.sendKeys("Test#gmail.com");
That site requires third-party cookies to be enabled; without them, the login form does not load. It's likely you have your browser configured that way but the defaults for webdriver.Firefox do not.
To see what Selenium is actually seeing, dump driver.page_source and/or take a screenshot with driver.save_screenshot(...).
The desired element is within an <iframe>. So as per best practices you have to:
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable and you can use the following Locator Strategies:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.ID,"membeeLoginIF")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input.textboxWaterMark#txtUserName"))).send_keys("Jeff")
You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
