Button click using selenium webdriver youtbe example

When I run the code, it opens the browser, but I want to click the reject all button when the cookie banner comes from YouTube. I tried using class and a link text. It did not work.
I will appreciate any help.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
url = 'https://www.youtube.com/'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\Users\\donner\\Downloads\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get(url)
driver.implicitly_wait(100)
continue_link = driver.find_element(By.LINK_TEXT, "Reject all")
continue_link.click()
driver.implicitly_wait(100)
content = driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, '.style-scope.ytd-button-renderer.style-primary size-default')
content.click()

Try the below xpath with the given code
//*[normalize-space()='Reject all']
OR
//*[contains(text(),'Reject all')]
The Code:
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "myXpath")))
element.click();
The above soultion work if there is no iframe
In case there is iframe, than you need to follow below
WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.ID,"iframe")))
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "yourXpath").click()

Selenium does NOT do anything after getting rid of GDPR consent

It's my first time using Selenium and webscraping. I have been stuck with the annoying GDPR iframe. I am simply trying to go to a website, search something in the search bar and then click in one of the results. But it does not seem to do anything after I get rid of the GDPR consent.
Important, it does not give any errors.
This is my very simple code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
import time
#Web driver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://transfermarkt.co.uk/")
search = driver.find_element_by_name("query")
search.send_keys("Sevilla FC")
search.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.ID, "sp_message_iframe_382445")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[text()='ACCEPT ALL']"))).click()
try:
sevfclink = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "368")))
sevfclink.click()
except:
driver.quit()
time.sleep(5)
driver.quit()

Not sure where you get the iframe from but the id might be dynamic so try this.
driver.get("https://transfermarkt.co.uk/")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver,10)
search = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.NAME, "query")))
search.send_keys("Sevilla FC", Keys.RETURN)
wait.until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe[id^='sp_message_iframe']")))
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[text()='ACCEPT ALL']"))).click()
driver.switch_to.default_content()
try:
sevfclink = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "368")))
sevfclink.click()
except:
pass

It looks like the two lines starting WebDriverWait throw an error. If I skip those to the try statement you get the results of the search. A page that gives an overview of Sevilla FC shows up. I presume the WebDriverWait lines are there to make sure you wait for something, but from what I can tell they are unnecessary.

selenium chromedriver different values of xpath between terminal and actual driver

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
url = 'https://www.msha.gov/mine-data-retrieval-system'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='chromedriver')
driver.get(url)
#driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="mstr90"]/div[1]/div/div') error
#driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//input') gives 3 while in driver gives 10
I am unable to find element where the input "Search by Mine ID by typing here.." is, the document is fully loaded but it can't locate it. What I want to do is simply pass in an input "0100003" then submit

Iframe is present on your page. Before you interact with inputbox you need to switch on to iframee. Refer below code to resolve your issue.
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
driver.get("https://www.msha.gov/mine-data-retrieval-system")
driver.switch_to.frame("iframe1")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
inputBox = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[#class='mstrmojo-SimpleObjectInputBox-empty']"))).click()
inputBox1 = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[#class='mstrmojo-SimpleObjectInputBox-container mstrmojo-scrollNode']//input")))
inputBox1.send_keys("0100003")
Updated Code to handle dropdown
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div#mstr100,mstrmojo-Popup.mstrmojo.SearchBoxSelector-suggest"))).click()
Note: please add below imports to your solution
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
Output:

The element you are trying to find is inside an iframe, so you will need to switch to that iframe first and then do your find element. Also, it's a best practice to use waits to give pages/elements time to load before a find element timeouts and throws an error.
iframe = WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#iframe1')))
driver.switch_to.frame(iframe)
mine_id = WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="mstr90"]/div[1]/div/div')))
Then you need to click this element to make it interactable.
mine_id.click()
Once you click then you need to re-find the input box before sending keys.
mine_id_input = WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#mstr90 input')))
mine_id_input.send_keys('0100003')
To select the suggestion displayed:
suggestion = WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#mstr100')))
suggestion.click()
if you wanted to continue on interacting outside the iframe after this is done, you will want to switch back out of the iframe like this:
driver.switch_to.default_content()

Problem in finding the element using the xPath using selenium in python

I want to log-in the page and click the button which is located on top of the website but when i run code it says that element could not be found, below is my python code:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://go.xero.com/Dashboard")
user_name = driver.find_element_by_id("email")
user_name.send_keys("mnb#allied.ae")
password = driver.find_element_by_id("password")
password.send_keys()
Submit = driver.find_element_by_id("submitButton")
Submit.click()
CS = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[#class='xrh-appbutton--text']")
cs.click()
driver.quit()
below is the HTML source code:

Seems it requires some time to find the elements. To manage this you need to implement wait mechanism in your scripts. Use either implicit or explicit waits. refer this
Implicit Wait
driver.get("https://go.xero.com/Dashboard")
driver.implicitly_wait(15)
Explicit Wait
cs = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//span[#class='xrh-appbutton--text']")))
cs.click()
Need to import following packages for this -
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

How to click on the Read the guide button using Selenium after logged in through Python

I need a script which logs me in to github and presses a Read the guide button. I've got it to log in but after it's done it does not work any more. Please help.
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('https://github.com/session')
login_area = browser.find_element_by_name('login')
login_area.send_keys('maximmashkov')
login_area = browser.find_element_by_id('password')
login_area.send_keys('12345')
submit_button = browser.find_element_by_name('commit')
submit_button.click()

To click() on the element with text as Read the guide you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following solutions:
Using LINK_TEXT:
WebDriverWait(browser, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, "Read the guide"))).click()
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a.btn.btn-primary[href='https://guides.github.com/activities/hello-world/']"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(browser, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[#href='https://guides.github.com/activities/hello-world/' and text()='Read the guide']"))).click()
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

Most probably your script fails to wait for the "Read the guide" button to appear, consider using Explicit Wait so Selenium could wait for a defined period of time for the element to appear in DOM
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
#initialize your browser here
login_area = browser.find_element_by_name('login')
login_area.send_keys('maximmashkov')
login_area = browser.find_element_by_id('password')
login_area.send_keys('12345')
submit_button = browser.find_element_by_name('commit')
submit_button.click()
submit_button = browser.find_element_by_name('commit')
submit_button.click()
read_the_guide = element = WebDriverWait(browser, 10).until(
EC.presence_of_element_located((By.LINK_TEXT, "Read the guide")))
read_the_guide.click()
browser.quit()

You only have to put a little time.sleep() delay. One second is enough
