I have the below html mark-up I am trying to access and click via python... for some reason copying the xpath and doing this is not working:
self.driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*`[#id="isc_8D"]/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/img')`
It seems the 'name' attribute is the only unique identifier below; how could I WAIT for it to exist first, then find element by name attribute and click in python? i.e. name="isc_NXicon"
<img src="http://website:8080/DBWEBSITE/ui/sc/skins/Enterprise/images/TabSet/close.png" width="12" height="12" align="absmiddle" style="vertical-align:middle" name="isc_NXicon" eventpart="icon" border="0" suppress="TRUE" draggable="true">
I am doing the below via different element with CSS selector: But How could I do the same via html 'name attribute' for my current relevant mark-up?
WebDriverWait(self.driver, 15).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".btn.btn-mini.btn-primary"))).click()
To locate and click() on the desired element instead of using visibility_of_element_located() you need to use WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(self.driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "img[name='isc_NXicon'][src$='DBWEBSITE/ui/sc/skins/Enterprise/images/TabSet/close.png']"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(self.driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//img[#name='isc_NXicon' and contains(#src, 'DBWEBSITE/ui/sc/skins/Enterprise/images/TabSet/close.png')]"))).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

I am trying to click this button with Selenium:
<button class="MuiButtonBase-root MuiButton-root jss38 MuiButton-contained MuiButton-containedPrimary" tabindex="0" type="button" data-test="unifiedCrazyButton"><span class="MuiButton-label">Let's get crazy</span><span class="MuiTouchRipple-root"></span></button>
I can't do it by the class name, because there are other buttons with the same class name, and also the xpath value in this format:
/html/body/div[10]/div[3]/div/div[3]/button[2]
keeps changing which is unfortunate.
The only identifying factor seems to be
data-test="unifiedCrazyButton"
How can I click this button with Selenium?
The desired element is a dynamic element, so to click on the clickable element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[data-test='unifiedCrazyButton'] span.MuiButton-label"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[#data-test='unifiedCrazyButton']//span[#class='MuiButton-label' and contains(., 'get crazy')]"))).click()
Note: You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

I am trying to click on a button using selenium. My code states it is unable to find the css_selector with said class name. The class name has spaces in it, which lead me to use the css_selector object. When I try to pass the class name in the 'css_selector' object, it fails since the class name is a string, which is not callable. The website is password protected otherwise I would share the full code. This is what I have so far.
# Button I wish to click
See Full List
# Once button is clicked, it changes to:
See Full List
What I have tried:
driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR("btn btn-alt see-full-list-btn")) # str object not callable
driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR,"btn btn-alt see-full-list-btn")
# Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":"btn btn-alt see-full-list-btn"}
As you've mentioned
The class name has spaces in it, which lead me to use the css_selector
this is right approach, however you should also make sure that one
One should remove the space and put a .
. represent class in CSS.
So the below code should work:
driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".btn.btn-alt.see-full-list-btn")
or you can even use it with the tag a
driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a.btn.btn-alt.see-full-list-btn")
or the recommended solution would be to use with explicit waits:
see_full_list_button = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a.btn.btn-alt.see-full-list-btn")))
see_full_list_button.click()

There is no necessity to focus on the element HTML after the click is already invoked.
As per the HTML
See Full List
you can use either of the following locator strategies:
Using link_text:
driver.find_element(By.LINK_TEXT, "See Full List").click()
Using css_selector:
driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a.btn.btn-alt.see-full-list-btn").click()
Using xpath:
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//a[#class='btn btn-alt see-full-list-btn' and text()='See Full List']").click()
Ideally to click on the clickable element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:
Using LINK_TEXT:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, "See Full List"))).click()
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a.btn.btn-alt.see-full-list-btn"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[#class='btn btn-alt see-full-list-btn' and text()='See Full List']"))).click()

I am trying to find an element by using Selenium with python, by a known value of src attribute. The element is the point picture on the left of the address of a location in Google Maps.
Namely the html for the element I'm trying to select:
<img alt="" jstcache="935" src="//www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system_gm/1x/place_gm_blue_24dp.png" class="Liguzb" jsan="7.Liguzb,0.alt,8.src">
How can I select the given element by searching for it by using the link:
www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system_gm/1x/place_gm_blue_24dp.png
Thanks.
To locate the element as the value of src attribute is know to you, you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using css_selector:
element = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "img.Liguzb[src*='gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system_gm/1x/place_gm_blue_24dp']")
Using xpath:
element = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//img[#class='Liguzb' and contains(#src, 'gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system_gm/1x/place_gm_blue_24dp')]")
To locate a visible element instead of presence_of_element_located() you need to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "img.Liguzb[src*='gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system_gm/1x/place_gm_blue_24dp']")))
Using XPATH:
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//img[#class='Liguzb' and contains(#src, 'gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system_gm/1x/place_gm_blue_24dp')]")))

I got a BUTTON variable for those buttons:
GoMailsBTN = browser.find_element_by_class_name("D(ib) Fz(14px) Fw(b) Lh(24px) Pstart(38px)")
GoMailsBTN.click()
and there is not like any id you can go check it out by yourself if you want!
This is the error that pops out
selenium.common.exceptions.InvalidSelectorException: Message: invalid selector: An invalid or illegal selector was specified
Anyone got any idea why this is?
Snapshot of the button:
The class name is dynamic and can change, in this case, you can use xpath:
browser.find_element_by_xpath("//li//a[contains(#href ,'mail') and not(#id)]")
The desired element is a JavaScript enabled element so to click on the element you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
driver.get('https://in.yahoo.com/?p=us')
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a#header-mail-button span"))).click()
Using XPATH:
driver.get('https://in.yahoo.com/?p=us')
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[#id='header-mail-button']//span"))).click()

Browser Snapshot:
I'm trying to find the element and click for the button "Not Now". I've tried with with css_selector, xpath, but I"m unable at all to find the proper way.
HTML:
To locate and click() on the element with text as Not Now you can use the following Locator Strategy:
Using xpath:
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[text()='Not Now']").click()
However, the element looks dynamic to me so you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategy:
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div//button[text()='Not Now']"))).click()
Note : You have to add the following imports :
