I'm building a whatsapp automation script using python selenium. I'm unable to find the message text area to send message.
My code :
from selenium import webdriver
import pandas as pd
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
import os
import mysql.connector
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/Users/evilslab/Downloads/chromedriver 3')
driver.get('https://web.whatsapp.com/send?phone=0097155960&text&source&data&app_absent')
time.sleep(10)
text = "Hello testing"
inp_xpath = '//*[#id="main"]/footer/div[1]/div[2]'
input_box = driver.find_element_by_xpath(inp_xpath)
time.sleep(2)
input_box.send_keys(text + Keys.ENTER)
time.sleep(2)
The terminal is :

May be your xpath is wrong. When I inspect and get xpath I get //*[#id="main"]/footer/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[2]
i guess there is a problem with the xpath
find how to get specific xpath from here Is there a way to get the XPath in Google Chrome? , sometimes whatsapp change their class name

I am facing a issue while calling xpath, i got the current xpath element by using selectorshub to get the xpath, but seems that not correct.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
driver_service = Service(executable_path="C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=driver_service)
PASSWORD = 'testtes'
login_page = 'http://192.168.2.1/login.html'
driver.get(login_page)
driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"//input[#placeholder='Password']").send_keys(PASSWORD)
Below is the error i'm getting

I am using Selenium's Chrome Driver to send WhatsApp attachment to some people.
Here is my code:
from selenium import webdriver
import os
from time import sleep
link="https://wa.me/91xxxxxxxxxx"
phnno="91xxxxxxxxxx"
driver=webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=f"{os.getcwd()}\\chromedriver.exe")
#driver.get(link)
#button=driver.find_element_by_xpath('//a[#title="Share on WhatsApp"]')
#button.click()
driver.get(f"https://web.whatsapp.com/send?phone={phnno}&text&app_absent=0")
#This above line opens up the sender window in whatsapp
attachbutt=driver.find_element_by_xpath('//span[#data-icon="clip"]') #This is line 15
#The above line is the one that is giving me the error
attachbutt.click()
sleep(10)
forpdf=driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[#accept="*"]')
path="C:\\Users\\Deven\\Desktop\\test_file.pdf"
forpdf.send_keys(path) #Attaches the file
sleep(5)
sendbutt=driver.find_element_by_xpath('//span[#data-icon="send"]')
sendbutt.click()

It says it is unable to locate the element but I have bene very careful in inspecting the website and then writing the code. Still I wonder why it does not work. Can anyone please help me with what is it that I am doing wrnong? Thank You!
Looks like you are missing a wait / delay before clicking that element.
The simplest solution is to put
sleep(5)
before
attachbutt=driver.find_element_by_xpath('//span[#data-icon="clip"]')
However, it's much better to use expected conditions there. Like this:
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
attachbutt = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(
EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//span[#data-icon="clip"]')))
I've error in Python Selenium. I'm trying to download all songs with Selenium, but there is some error. Here is code:
from selenium import webdriver
import time
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/home/tigran/Documents/chromedriver/chromedriver')
url = 'https://sefon.pro/genres/shanson/top/'
driver.get(url)
songs = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('/html/body/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/div[3]/div/div[3]/div[2]/a')
for song in songs:
song.click()
time.sleep(5)
driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[3]/div[1]/a[2]').click()
time.sleep(8)
driver.get(url)
time.sleep(5)
And here is error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Any ideas why error comes?
Before your loop try to add try:
Sometimes the document is not attached, so it gives an error
Here's link selenium while loop not working. You need to locate elements in loop.
Final code:
from selenium import webdriver
import time
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/home/tigran/Documents/chromedriver/chromedriver')
url = 'https://sefon.pro/genres/shanson/top/'
driver.get(url)
size = len(driver.find_elements_by_xpath('/html/body/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/div[3]/div/div[3]/div[2]/a'))
for i in range(0, size):
songs = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('/html/body/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/div[3]/div/div[3]/div[2]/a')
songs[i].click()
time.sleep(5)
driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[3]/div[1]/a[2]').click()
time.sleep(8)
driver.execute_script("window.history.go(-1)")
time.sleep(5)
My objective is to take a value (in my case a shipment tracking #) and input it into a tracking field on a website using selenium. I am unable to input the value and get the following error message:
from selenium import webdriver

chromedriver = "/Users/GUVA/Downloads/chromedriver"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver)
driver.get("https://www.17track.net/en")
#data = df.values[1] # grabbing one tracking number from an excel file
# click "agree" to close window
python_button = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[#id="modal-gdpr"]/div/div/div[3]/button')[0]
python_button.click()
# enter tracking number into text box
que=driver.find_element_by_id('//input[#id="jsTrackBox"]')
que.send_keys("data")
Traceback (most recent call last):

selenium.common.exceptions.InvalidSelectorException: Message: invalid selector: An invalid or illegal selector was specified

Any suggestions please?
//input[#id="jsTrackBox"] is an xpath. So you need to fetch the element by using find_element_by_xpath method(where you are currently using find_element_by_id method).
Your code should be like:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
chromedriver = "/Users/GUVA/Downloads/chromedriver"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver)
driver.get("https://www.17track.net/en")
#data = df.values[1] # grabbing one tracking number from an excel file
# click "agree" to close window
python_button = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[#id="modal-gdpr"]/div/div/div[3]/button')[0]
python_button.click()
# enter tracking number into text box
que=driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#id='jsTrackBox']//div[#class='CodeMirror-scroll']")
que.click()
que.send_keys("data")
I'd like to scroll to the bottom of a page using Selenium with the Firefox driver.
Here is what I have so far:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
browser=webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://nostarch.com')
htmlElem=browser.find_element_by_tag_name('html')
htmlElem.send_keys(Keys.END) #scrolls to bottom
Unfortunately, my code fails with the following exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):

To scroll to the bottom of a page using Selenium you can use :
Python
driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")
Java
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);");
