I want to click on button on web site, but this button appears after you put your cursor on the right place, otherwise you can not see this button. I tried to ignore that and do just normal click by finding the element by xpath. But that did not work out, there was mistake:
selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not
interactable: element has zero size
How to deal with that?
To hover over the element you can use something like this:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
chrome= webdriver.Chrome()
chrome.get('http://foo.bar')
element = chrome.find_element_by_css_selector("the_element_u_want")
hover = ActionChains(chrome).move_to_element(element)
hover.perform()
if the element takes time to appear use selenium's wait or time.sleep()
find more info about ActionChains here
this is some code I found here.
Usually, the ElementNotInteractableException is thrown when the element hasn't loaded completely. Here's a possible solution:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as ec
driver = webdriver.Chrome('C:\\Users\\dell\\Libs\\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("http://url")
driver.maximize_window()
# wait for element to appear, then hover it
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
men_menu = wait.until(ec.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//a[#data-tracking-id='men']")))
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(men_menu).perform()
This method worked well for me.
def hoverXPATH(xpath):
item = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)\
.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, xpath)))
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(item).perform()

I'm trying to scrape some titles of the videos and to do so I'm using Selenium, but I've encountered a problem. driver.find_element().text returns empty string, but title is for sure located in given XPATH. Here is the fragment of the page source returned by driver.page_source:
<div class="title">Big.Sky.S03E01.ITA.WEBDL.1080p</div>
To find the title I am trying to use:
hoverable = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[#id="videojs"]/div[1]')
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(hoverable).perform()
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
title_from_url = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '/html/body/div[1]/a'))).text
title_from_url = driver.find_element(
By.XPATH, '/html/body/div[1]/a'
).text.casefold()
From what I've read it could be caused by the fact that the page might not be fully loaded (I wasn't using any wait condition here). After that I've tried to add a wait condition and even time.sleep(), but it didn't change anything. <mini question: how would proper wait staitment look like here?>
Edit:
I think the problem is caused, because title is showing up only when mouse is in the player area. I think some mouse movement will be needed here, but I have tried to move mouse into the player area and for some time it is working but after a while there is a moment when title will disappear too fast. Is there a way to use find_element() while also moving mouse?
Any help will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Ed.

You have to wait for element to be completely loaded before extracting it text content. WebDriverWait expected_conditions explicit waits should be used for that.
This should wait in case the element is visible on the page and the locator is correct:
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
title_from_url = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//div[contains(#class, "title")]/a'))).text
UPD
In case the element content is dynamically changes and we need to hover over that element to make the desired text to appear there, we can simulate the mouse hover action with the help of ActionChains module.
The tool-tip etc. will not disappear until you perform some click etc. on that page. So, just performing a background action of driver.find_element() will not affect that text.
UPD2
The title element is not visible. It becomes visible only by hovering over the player.
Here I'm performing such hovering and then getting the title text:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains
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, 5)
actions = ActionChains(driver)
url = "https://mixdrop.to/e/4n3x7e31hpwxm8"
driver.get(url)
player = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, 'player')))
actions.move_to_element(player).perform()
title = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//div[contains(#class, "title")]/a')))
print(title.text)
The output is:
Big.Sky.S03E01.ITA.WEBDL.1080p
If you suspect its because of sync issue. You can use selenium waits.Let it be implicit of explicit.
Implicit:
objdriver.implicitely_wait(float)
Explicit:
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
objwait=WebDriverWait(driver,float,poll_frequency=float,ignored_exception=float)
objelement=objwait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH,"Your XPATH")))
Hi i'm new at selenium and webscraping and i need some help.
i try to scrape one site and i need and i dont know how to get span class.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
PATCH = "/Users/bobo/Downloads/chromedriver"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATCH)
driver.get("https://neonet.pl")
print(driver.title)
search = driver.find_element_by_class_name("inputCss-input__label-263")
search.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
time.sleep(5)
i try to extract this span
<span class="inputCss-input__label-263">Szukaj produktu</span>
I can see that you are trying to search something in the search bar.
First I recommend you to use the xpath instead of the class name, here is a simple technique to get the xpath of every element on a webpage:
right-click/ inspect element/ select the mouse in a box element on the upper left/ click on the element on the webpage/ it will directly show you the corresponding html/ then right click on the selected html/ copy options and then xpath.
Here is a code example that searches an element on the webpage, I also included the 'Webdriver-wait' option because sometimes the code runs to fast and can't find the next element so this function make the code wait till the element is visible:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from time import sleep
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="/Users/bobo/Downloads/chromedriver")
driver.get("https://neonet.pl") #loading page
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20) #defining webdriver wait
search_word = 'iphone\n' # \n is going to act as an enter key
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="root"]/main/div[1]/div[4]/div/div/div[2]/div/button[1]'))).click() #clicking on cookies popup
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="root"]/main/header/div[2]/button'))).click() #clicking on search button
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="root"]/aside[2]/section/form/label/input'))).send_keys(search_word) #searching on input button
print('done!')
sleep(10)
Hope this helped you!
wait=WebDriverWait(driver,10)
driver.get('https://neonet.pl')
elem=wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//span[contains(#class,'inputCss-input')]"))).text
print(elem)
To output the value of the search bar you use .text on the Selenium Webelement.

Can you please tell me what should I do?
The button is really hard to click.
I guess it could be achieved by adding some more waits and moving with ActionChains class methods.
I could click it with Javascript code with no problems.
What it does:
1 Scrolls to the Next button
2 Clicks it.
from selenium import webdriver

wait.until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".pr-rd-description-text")))
review = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector(".pr-rd-description-text")

# wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".pr-rd-pagination-btn"))).click()

# actions = ActionChains(driver)
# actions.move_to_element(element).click().perform()
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", element) # Scrolls to the button
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element) # Clicks it
print("clicked next")
I also rearranged your code, moved imports to the beginning of the file, got rid of unpredictable time.sleep() and used more reliable css locators. However, your locator should also work.
I left the options I tried commented out.
That element is weird. Even when I scroll into view, use actions to click it, or execute javascript to click, it doesn't work. What I would suggest is just grabbing the href attribute from the element and going to that URL, using something like this:
driver.get(driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="pr-review-display"]/footer/div/div/a').get_attribute('href'))
I am trying to scrape some google data but I first want to click the 'I agree' button that google pops up. This is the script I use to do that:
import time
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
search_question = input("Ask a question: ")
driver = webdriver.Chrome("*Your Webdriver location*")
driver.wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 5)
driver.get("https://google.com")
time.sleep(1)
agree = driver.wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="introAgreeButton"]/span/span')))
agree.click()
# time.sleep(0.2)
search = driver.find_element_by_class_name("gLFyf")
search.send_keys(search_question)
search.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
The problem is selenium doesn't seem to locate the button and therefore I get a timeout error. (I have tried also with find_element_by_xpath and still not working).
If you scroll up in the devtools inspector you'll notice that your element is within an iframe:
You need to switch to that frame first, click your button then switch back to the default content (the main page)
driver.get("https://google.com")
#active the iframe and click the agree button
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH, "//iframe")))
agree = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="introAgreeButton"]/span/span')))
agree.click()
#back to the main page
driver.switch_to_default_content()
That works for me.
FYI - There's only 1 iframe on the page, that's why the xpath //iframe works. If there were multiple you'd need to identify it with higher accuracy.
If you already have been agreed,then agree button would not appear. That why it is not be able to find given XPath.
Try this:
import time
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
search_question = input("Ask a question: ")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(".\chromedriver.exe")
driver.wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 5)
driver.get("https://google.com")
time.sleep(3)
# agree = driver.wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="introAgreeButton"]/span/span')))
# agree.click()
# time.sleep(0.2)
search = driver.find_element_by_class_name("gLFyf")
search.send_keys(search_question)
search.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
Managed to get it working.
Seems like one of the few elements that are interactive in the popup when you first load the site is the language dropdown, which I found by class name.
Then the Agree button is detectable and you can find it by class too.
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
driver.maximize_window()
time.sleep(2)
#finds+clicks language dropdown, interaction unhides the rest of the popup html
driver.find_element_by_class_name('tHlp8d').click()
time.sleep(2)
#finds+clicks the agree button now that it has become visible
driver.find_element_by_id('L2AGLb').click()
you should now have the standard searchbar etc
i had some problems with clicking pop-ups and the problem turned out to be with that click().
im not sure that it might be the same issue with urs or not but try changing ur click to this :
agree = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="introAgreeButton"]/span/span')
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", agree)
The problem was that it didn't change frames here is the soulution code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome('C:\\Users\\gassp\\OneDrive\\Namizje\\Python.projects\\chromedriver.exe')
url = 'https://www.google.com/maps/'
driver.get(url)
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="consent-bump"]/div/div[1]/iframe')))
agree = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="introAgreeButton"]/span/span')))
agree.click()
#back to the main page
driver.switch_to_default_content()
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="searchboxinput"]'))).send_keys('gostilne')
driver.submit()
I am trying to scrape an airbnb listing. I cant figure out a way to get the full list of amenities other than clicking on "more". I am using selenium to simulate the click, but it does nt seem to work.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
url = 'https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/4660676'
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get(url)
elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//a[#class="expandable-trigger-more"]')
actions.click(elem).perform()
The XPath itself is correct, but you have not defined the actions:
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//a[#class="expandable-trigger-more"]')
actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.click(elem).perform()
Note that you can simply use the WebElement's click() method instead:
elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//a[#class="expandable-trigger-more"]')
elem.click()
Works for me.
If you are getting NoSuchElementException error, you might need to wait for the link to be clickable via WebDriverWait and element_to_be_clickable.
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, 10).until(
EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//a[#class="expandable-trigger-more"]'))
)
element.click()
A very simple way of achieving this is given below
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//a[#class="expandable-trigger-more"]').click()
It works for me hope will work for you as well.
