I am facing a timeout exception while trying to click on a drop down link - have tried all the solutions I could find on various forums (eg: Increasing the wait time to upto 60 sec, using time.sleep, changing locators)
but the error doesn't seem to go away.
FWIW: The page and the link I am trying to click otherwise loads in just 1 second so not sure what's going on.
Could anyone please assist on what am I missing?
The code snippet is as follows:
def __init__(self, driver): # initialize each WebElement here
self.driver = driver
wait = WebDriverWait(self.driver.instance, 10)
self.data_dropdown = wait.until(
EC.visibility_of_element_located((
By.XPATH, '//*[#id="ProjectDataTab"]'))) # Data dropdown
self.view_all_link = wait.until(
EC.visibility_of_element_located((
By.LINK_TEXT, 'View All'))) # View All link

Hi I am trying to click on a button within a pop up("klant aanpassen"), I already tried allot of options including ActionChains but I just don't get it to work. Right now this is my script:
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#title="Acties"]').click()
time.sleep(2)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[class='_2f9OE _2nG1g yG7LA mekFH _2zshv _2enAb _2g-UE iyvDv _17-jo']"))).click()
The first code does the right thing, open up the UI(PopUp)
The second line of code give's me the following error:
Warning (from warnings module):
File "C:/Users/Marnix Bolier/Desktop/TLinputter.py", line 52
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#title="Acties"]').click()

I also tried the following line:

That gives the following error:

Google Inspector (button highlighted in blue):
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here, Thanks.
Locators like this CSS Selector button[class='_2f9OE _2nG1g yG7LA mekFH _2zshv _2enAb _2g-UE iyvDv _17-jo'] are problematic since they based on too much class names. These class names may be dynamically changing per session and per page state.
This locator can also be not unique.
What we can try here is text based XPath like this:
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[contains(.,'Klant aanpassen')]"))).click()
This locator looks more stable and unique.
may I ask please with some assistance on the following task I'm trying to complete. Im trying to use Selenium to automatically check a list of urls and do a set of click actions on each of them, if the website is offline I would like to go to the next urls on the list and do the same click actions.
Bellow is the code that I have achieved so far, however it doesn't work:
from selenium import webdriver ## importing webdriver
import time ## importing waiting time fuctions
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException ## importing the timeout fuctions
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
## Setting the Timeout timer in seconds
MAX_TIMEOUT_SECONDS = 60
## Getting url from list "url"
urlsList = ['urlone','urltwo', 'urlthree', 'urlfour']
## Getting list of urls
for s in urlsList:
urls = str(s)
## loop with timeout exception
try:
## Activinting the Timeout fuctions
driver.set_page_load_timeout(MAX_TIMEOUT_SECONDS)
driver.get(urls)
## Clicking on tab
systemTab = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/ul[1]/li[3]/a')
systemTab.click()
## Clicking on Bottom
buttonRaul = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/ul[2]/li[4]/a')
buttonRaul.click()
## Clicking on confirmation
buttomGoo = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[2]/div[2]/button')
buttomGoo.click()
time.sleep(5) ## Wait 5 seconds
except TimeoutException:
continue
driver.quit()
I tried using timeout as form to determinate if a website is offline/not responding after 60 seconds, however when the I run the code, the code online work until it hits a off-line website and stops there.
I am trying to reply this question in java as I am not much familiar with Python.
When you run the test offline mode, we can use the loadingFailed() to get the logs from browser i.e – net::ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED and then you can proceed to next URL.
import org.openqa.selenium.devtools*;
driver = new ChromeDriver();
devTools = ((ChromeDriver)driver).getDevTools();
driver.get("https://www.homepage.com");
devTools.createSession();
devTools.addListener(loadingFailed(), loadingFailed ->
{
System.out.println(loadingFailed.getErrorText());
Assert.assertEquals(loadingFailed.getErrorText(), "net::ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED");
});
Im pretty new to Selenium and python, The first url runs as it should be, however my second url is currently offline, The second url open the window and after 10-20seconds the following message shows and the code stop running:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thank for your help
EDITED: I incorporated the final lines suggested by Sushil. At the end, I am copying the output in my terminal. I still do not get the zipfile.
SOLVED: My error was due to an incompatibility between the driver and chrome versions. I fixed by following the instructions here: unknown error: call function result missing 'value' for Selenium Send Keys even after chromedriver upgrade
I am trying to use Selenium to fill out a form and download a zipfile.
After extensively googling, I have written a Python code, but I am currently unable to download the file. A browser opens, but nothing is filled out.
I am very new at Python, so I am guessing I am missing something very trivial since the website I am trying to get info from is super simple.
This is what I have tried:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/home/miranda/webscrap_Python/chromedriver')
#driver.wait = WebDriverWait(driver,5)
driver.get("http://www.cis.es/cis/opencms/EN/formulario.jsp?dwld=/Microdatos/MD3288.zip")
Name = '//*[#id="Nombre"]'
LastName = '//*[#id="Apellidos"]'
University = '//*[#id="profesion"]'
email = '//*[#id="Email"]'
ob_req = '//*[#id="objeto1"]'
terms = '//*[#id="Terminos"]'
download = '//*[#id="mediomicrodatos"]/form/div[3]/input'
driver.find_element_by_xpath(Name).send_keys("Miranda")
driver.find_element_by_xpath(LastName).send_keys("MyLastName")
driver.find_element_by_xpath(University).send_keys("MySchool")
driver.find_element_by_xpath(email).send_keys("my_email#gmail.com")
#lines added by Sushil:
ob_req_element = driver.find_element_by_xpath(ob_req) #Finds the ob_req element
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", ob_req_element) #Scrolls down to the element and clicks on it
terms_element = driver.find_element_by_xpath(terms) #The same is repeated here
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", terms_element)
driver.find_element_by_xpath(download).click() #Scrolling down is not needed for the download button as it would already be in view. Only when an element is not in view should we scroll down to it in order to click on it.
Output in my terminal:

driver.find_element_by_xpath(download).click() #Scrolling down is not needed for the download button as it would already be in view. Only when an element is not in view should we scroll down to it in order to click on it.
I'm scraping reviews from the Google Play homepage.
I come out well and stop on the way.
I get the following error:

I did a search and many revisions, but I could not fix it.

I'm not an expert, but I believe that if an element has the hidden HTML attribute, then this exception will appear. I had the same issue with a drop down menu in a site once, I had to use the scroll event in Selenium to make the element visible.
I have been using the same scripts for over a year, but since yesterday i am getting this error when click on links having images. I am getting the element by xpath and then clicking it.

Using XPATHs like this /html/body/div[5]/div[1]/div[3]/ul/li[1]/a/i are problematic for a number of reasons.
First and foremost, they are extremely brittle. All it takes is a minor update to the site, one that might night even be visually perceptible, and the hard coded div indexes break. The site devs might have added a div to slightly alter a font style and then your XPATH is completely broken.
Second, it makes it next to impossible to debug once it does break. I have absolutely no idea what you were intending to click on, and if this were production code that someone else was attempting to fix, they would also have no idea what you were intending to click on.
My best guess is that zaakpay made some small, imperceptible change that slightly changed the location of your target element in the DOM. If you update the XPATH to something like //div[#class=\"prdtBlck\"]/ul/li/a, as I've done below, your script works:
