Why can't I upload a picture with selenium? PROBLEM FIXED

my previous code looks like this, but I cannot upload an image. The script breaks off at this point, I already have several options and try unfortunately without success
I work with VS Code on Ubuntu
myvariable1 = browser.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[1]/div[5]/div/div[2]/div/form/ul[9]/div/li[2]/div/div[1]/div/div[2]")
myvariable1.send_keys("/home/username/Schreibtisch/myfolder/1.png")
The html code looks like this ----
<div class="fileuploader fileuploader-theme-dragdrop">
<input
class="gallery_media"
type="file"
name="files[]"
tabindex="-1"
accept="image/*"
multiple="multiple"
style="position: absolute; z-index: -9999; height: 0px; width: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; line-height: 0; outline: 0px; border: 0px; opacity: 0;"
/>
<div class="fileuploader-input-inner">
<div class="fileuploader-main-icon"></div>
<h3 class="fileuploader-input-caption onDesktop"><span class="onDesktop">Bilder hierher ziehen und ablegen</span></h3>
<p class="onDesktop">oder</p>
<div class="fileuploader-input-button"><span>Datei auswählen</span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="fileuploader-items"><ul class="fileuploader-items-list"></ul></div>

myvariable1 = browser.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[1]/div[5]/div/div[2]/div/form/ul[9]/div/li[2]/div/div[1]/div/div[2]/input")
myvariable1.send_keys("C:/home/username/Schreibtisch/myfolder/1.png")
Go down into input otherwise you'll get a Noninteractable exception and then send the absolute file path to your file.

Trying to select a check box but not getting selected

<div class="ui-dialog ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all ui-draggable" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="ui-dialog-title-imageModel" style="display: block; z-index: 1002; outline: 0px; height: auto; width: 700px; top: 225.5px; left: 278.5px;"><div class="ui-dialog-titlebar ui-widget-header ui-corner-all ui-helper-clearfix"><span class="ui-dialog-title" id="ui-dialog-title-imageModel">ATTENTION TAX PAYERS!!!!!</span><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-closethick">close</span></div><div id="imageModel" class="ui-dialog-content ui-widget-content" style="width: auto; min-height: 0px; height: 92.4px;" scrolltop="0" scrollleft="0">
<ul><li class="redFont"> Please insist on getting Form 16/16A from your Deductor downloaded only from Traces.Valid form 16/16A.<i><u> click here.</u></i></li></ul>
<div class="floatLeft margintop20"><input type="checkbox" id="Details" name="Details" onclick="checkModal('modalPagee')"> I agree to the usage and acceptance of Form 16 / 16A generated from TRACES</div>
<div class="floatLeft margintop20">
<input value="Proceed" type="button" class="button" id="btn" disabled="disabled" onclick="goCancel()">
</div>
</div></div>
This is the HTML code on which I am working, Here I want to select the input element of type checkbox, when I was trying it as
check_box = find_element_by_id("Details").click() I was failing to select it .
if need of more details in
"https://www.incometax.gov.in/iec/foportal" please visit this site,
when after login, goto -> e-file -> income_tax_returns -> view for 26as and continue, Then we will get another window opened and will get a popup here in pop up we need to select the checkbox.

That details is in new tab, you need to switch the focus like below :
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
new_handle = driver.window_handles
print(len(new_handle))
driver.switch_to.window(new_handle[1])
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "Details"))).click()

Try:
check_box = find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="Details"]').click()

Selecting a value from drop down with span id in Selenium PYTHON

I have been trying this for a while and searched different forums but I couldn't find any snippet to do this.
I have a report in which options need to be selected through dropdown using Selenium in python. Below is the HTML structure
<div align="center"> Select Fruit</div>
<p align="center"><br>
<span id="0e6b87875e914a5f8d72bbee6844bea3" style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; width: 113px; display: inline-block;" class="sf-element sf-element-control sfc-property sfc-dropdown">
<div class="sf-element sf-element-dropdown" title="" style="position: relative; width: 100px;">
<div class="sf-element sf-element-icon" style="position: absolute; top: 1px; left: 91px; height: 17px; width: 17px;">
<svg width="17px" height="17px"><path d="M4,6 l7,0 l-3.5,3.5 z" fill="currentColor" stroke-width="1" transform="scale(1.1333333333333333,1.1333333333333333)" class="Down"></path></svg>
</div>
<div class="sf-element sf-element-text-box" style="display: inline-block; word-wrap: break-word; width: 83px;">(None)</div>
<select class="sf-dropdown-select" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; background-color: rgb(248, 248, 248);">
<option value="0" selected="selected">(None)</option>
<option value="1">Apple</option>
<option value="2">Mango</option>
<option value="3">Grapes</option>
</select>
</div>
</span><br></p>
I have tried different ways using css selector and XPath but nothing seems to work. Below is the code I tried
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="0e6b87875e914a5f8d72bbee6844bea3"]/div/select/option[#value = "Mango"]')
Also different variants like options[2] and using css selector but it always give NoSuchElementException.
Can someone please share some insights on this?
Thanks

Add text()="Mongo" instead of #value="Mongo"
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//[#id="0e6b87875e914a5f8d72bbee6844bea3"]/div/select/option[text() = "Mango"]').click()

The dropdown is clearly within <Select> tag. Hence it would be convinient to use the Select Class as follows:
//import
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
//code block
selectOption = Select(driver.find_element_by_class_name("sf-dropdown-select"))
selectOption.select_by_visible_text("Mango")

When dealing with SELECT elements, there is a helper class, Select, that makes it a lot easier.
select = Select(driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#0e6b87875e914a5f8d72bbee6844bea3 select"))
select.select_by_visible_text("Mango")

Automatically play video on Mac

I've the following code in my webpage (Python/Django framework) to enable a video to play in the background.
HTML
<div class="video-container">
<div class="video-container-bg">
<video playsinline autoplay muted loop poster="{{page.image.url}}" id="bgvid">
<source src="{{page.video.url}}" type="video/mp4">
<source src="{{page.mac_video.url}}" type="video/webm">
</video>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12 col-md-8">
<div class="animation-element bounce-up">
<h1 class="page-title">{{page.page_title}}</h1>
<p class="strapeline">{{page.strapline}}</p>
<a class="butt" href="#about-us">Learn More</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
video#bgvid {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
min-width: 100%;
min-height:100%;
overflow: hidden !important;
z-index: -100;
-ms-transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
-moz-transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
-webkit-transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
background: url() no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
}
.video-container {
min-height: calc(100vh - 75px);
overflow: hidden !important;
position: relative;
}
.video-container-bg {
padding-top: 25vh;
color: #fff;
}
It works fine on everything except Safari where nothing plays. Why not? Is it something Apple have set to prevent? In fact, when I run Safari on Windows it's telling me it cannot play HTML5 video. Is that right?

I've solved this by saving the mp4 files in a lossless state. It now seems to work. I have no idea why

Unable to select value in a list from selenium python script

I have been trying to automate few action on a web based tool using selenium with python as scripting language.
So in this page, I have a field called status, here is the HTML code for this.
<div style="padding-left:105px" id="x-form-el-BugFieldsEditor_Status-desc" class="x-form-element x-form-el-BugFieldsEditor_Status-desc" role="presentation">
<div class=" x-form-field-wrap x-component " role="combobox" id="BugFieldsEditor_Status-desc" style="width: 230px;">
<input type="text" class=" x-form-field x-form-text x-triggerfield-noedit" id="BugFieldsEditor_Status-desc-input" name="Status-desc" tabindex="1" readonly="" autocomplete="off" aria-owns="x-auto-462" aria-selected="" style="width: 205px;" aria-readonly="false" aria-invalid="false" aria-required="false">
<img class="x-form-trigger x-form-trigger-arrow" src="https://someurl/clear.gif" id="x-auto-463">
</div>
</div>
it actually appears as a compo box drop down list on the page. I am able to locate this element through find element by ID and able to simulate click event which brings up the list of option it contains. the HTML code of this is this.
<div role="presentation" id="x-auto-881" class="x-combo-list x-ignore x-component x-border " style="border-width: 1px; z-index: 1060; visibility: visible; height: 273px; width: 228px; left: 277px; top: 75px;">
<div tabindex="0" hidefocus="true" id="x-auto-462" class=" x-view x-combo-list-inner x-component x-unselectable " style="overflow-x: hidden; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; height: 273px; width: 228px;" unselectable="on">
<div class="x-combo-list-item " role="listitem">A-Assigned</div>
<div class="x-combo-list-item " role="listitem">C-Closed</div>
<div class="x-combo-list-item " role="listitem">D-Duplicate</div>
<div class="x-combo-list-item " role="listitem">F-Forwarded</div>
<div class="x-combo-list-item " role="listitem">H-Held</div>
<div class="x-combo-list-item " role="listitem">I-Info_req</div>
<div class="x-combo-list-item " role="listitem">J-Junked</div>
<div class="x-combo-list-item " role="listitem">M-More</div>
<div class="x-combo-list-item " role="listitem">O-Opened</div>
<div class="x-combo-list-item x-view-highlightrow x-combo-selected" role="listitem">P-Postponed</div>
<div class="x-combo-list-item " role="listitem">R-Resolved</div>
<div class="x-combo-list-item " role="listitem">U-Unreproducible</div>
<div class="x-combo-list-item" role="listitem">W-Wait</div>
</div>
</div>
Now the issue, on simulating click, though the list of option is displayed but I am not able to locate this element and select any option.
Can someone please help.

You should be able to get it with an xpath selector like this:
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//div[text()="A-Assigned"]')
You may need to make the selector more specific depending on the rest of your HTML.
