Selenium: Element not clickable at point (x, y) - python

I have this site https://www.inc.com/inc5000/list/2017 where I want my script to insert a number in PAGE field and click GO, but I keep getting error:
File "/Users/anhvangiang/Desktop/PY/inc.py", line 34, in scrape
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="page-input-button"]').click()

(c53f4ad87510ee97b5c3425a14c0e79780cdf262),platform=Mac OS X 10.12.6 x86_64)
This is my code:
def scrape(num):
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/Users/anhvangiang/Desktop/PY/chromedriver')
driver.get(main_site)
driver.find_element_by_id('page-input-field').send_keys(str(num))
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="Welcome-59"]/div[2]/div[1]/span[2]').click()
time.sleep(5)
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="page-input-button"]').click()
soup = BS(driver.page_source, 'lxml')
container = soup.find('section', {'id': 'data-container'})
return [source + tag.find('div', {'class': 'col i5 company'}).find('a')['href'] for tag in container.findAll('div', {'class': 'row'})]
If I put the function scrape inside a loop:
for i in range(1, 100):
print scrape(i)
For a few first i, it will go smoothly, but then it will throw the error like above.
Any suggestion how I can fix it?

This is because the button is not visible at that time, so the selenium WebDriver cannot access that.
As I run your code on my local machine , I found that the website shows a popup ad for 15-20 sec (See attached image : Popup_Ad), which is the actual cause of this error. For resolving this error you have to handle the popup ad, you can do this as.
check for the SKIP button, if button exist then first skip the add by
Clicking the skip button , then follow the normal flow of code.
Other Suggestions: You should use WebDriverWait to avoid the Element not found and element is not clickable like issues. For Example, you can write above code as
from selenium import webdriver
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as BS
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
import time
def scrape(num,wdriver):
# define webdriver
driver = wdriver
# naviagte to url
driver.get("https://www.inc.com/inc5000/list/2017")
# define default wait time
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
while True:
if EC.presence_of_all_elements_located:
break
else:
continue
# handle Ad Popup
try:
skip_button = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"//*[#id='Welcome-59']/div[2]/div[1]/span[2]")))
skip_button.click()
print("\nSkip Button Clicked")
except TimeoutException:
pass
time.sleep(5)
# find the page number input field
page_num_elem = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID,"page-input-field")))
page_num_elem.clear()
page_num_elem.send_keys(num)
time.sleep(2)
while True:
try:
# find go button
go_button = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "page-input-button")))
go_button.click()
break
except TimeoutException :
print("Retrying...")
continue
# scrape data
soup = BS(driver.page_source, 'lxml')
container = soup.find('section', {'id': 'data-container'})
return [tag.find('div', {'class': 'col i5 company'}).find('a')['href'] for tag in container.findAll('div', {'class': 'row'})]
if __name__ == "__main__":
# create webdriver instance
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
for num in range(5):
print("\nPage Number : %s" % (num+1))
print(scrape(num,driver))
print(90*"-")
driver.quit()

It works for me:
Actions action = new Actions(Browser.WebDriver); action.MoveToElement(element).Click().Perform();

Unable to access Pop Up / iframe window using selenium python

I'm pretty new to selenium. I'm working on a autocheckout scrip using selenium python. Script executes very smooth till the final checkout page. However, I'm unable to access element on the final page('Razorpay Checkout'), which is a kind of pop up/iframe window.
Any help accessing the same would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Below is the code I'm using
from selenium import webdriver

(Session info: chrome=99.0.4844.84)
I am using chromedriver version 100. Your code throws a NoSuchElementException. Thats because your driver tries to find an element which does not exist. So, what you need to do is to put time.sleep(4) statements after your click() statements (Your browser needs time to open the window/s). If you are done using the driver, use driver.quit().
Followed code worked for me:

print(seq)
print("No of frames present in the web page are: ", len(seq))
for index in range(len(seq)):
iframe = driver.find_elements_by_tag_name('iframe')[index]
driver.switch_to.frame(iframe)
driver.find_element_by_id('language-dropdown').click()
A few things you could do in your next project:
Use WebDriverWait to allow enough time for elements to be loaded
Use switch_to.default_content() before switching to another frame
Use time.sleep() while you switch frames
Try using relative xpaths (ex: //div[#id="user_address"]). It's easy to right click and copy the absolute xpath for an element from the inspect window, however if there's another element added in between, your xpath would no longer point to the desired element. Moreover, relative xpaths would empower you with a deeper understanding allowing you to easily find elements.

Selenium not waiting for element to be visible causing error: invalid element state

Error: Element is not currently interactable and may not be manipulated.
So I have selenium requesting a page and then filling out a few input boxes then clicking a button to submit the form.
The issue I'm having is that selenium isn't waiting for the element to be visible so I have to manually place a time.sleep(2) to fix that but I would prefer to use a wait until they show up in case it takes longer or less time to load or if they don't load at all.
I have it setup like this currently to request the page, find the input field, check if the element exists and type the text into it, I get this error at the element.clear() part which doesn't happen when I include a time.sleep(2) after requesting the url:

using the above html element I have tried finding the element using the element id "pnnext' by doing the following find_element_by_id("pnnext").click and it has been unsuccessful.
Any ideas?
First, if you have driver.implicitly_wait(10), then when you do driver.find_element_by_link_text("Next").click() following search_gog.send_keys(Keys.RETURN), the driver will wait for up to 10 seconds for the next page to load and a link with the text "Next" to appear before throwing an exception. So, the call to sleep(3) that you invoke between the two calls is rather superfluous. If for whatever reason you thought 10 seconds was not enough (hard to believe for google.com), then just increase the amount of time on the call to driver.implicitly_wait.
I cannot tell what your search argument to Google is, but it just may be possible that the number of returned results isn't enough to warrant a "Next" link. Modify your code as follows:
search_gog.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
next_links = driver.find_elements_by_link_text("Next") # note it is find_elements with an s
if len(next_links):
next_links[0].click()
else:
print('There is no "Next" link')
Update
I have run the following code on my desktop 5 times in a row and each time it has successfully navigated to the second page (that is, it has found the "Next" link and clicked on it successfully).
from selenium import webdriver

Can't fetch titles from some box-like containers

I've written a script in python in association with selenium to click on some dots available on a map in a web page. When a dot is clicked, a small box containing relevant information pops up.
Link to that site
I would like to parse the title of each box. When I execute my script, it throws an error while clicking on a dot. How can I make a go successfully?
This is the script:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
link = "replace with above link"
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get(link)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"#mapDiv_zoom_slider .esriSimpleSliderIncrementButton"))).click()
for item in wait.until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"#NWQMC_VM_directory_June2016_3915_0_layer circle"))):
item.click()
Error I'm having:

This is how a box gets popped up:
#Andrei Suvorkov was really close (+1)
Try below code to get required output:
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get(link)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 5)
driver.maximize_window()
items = wait.until(EC.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//*[name()='svg']//*[name()='circle']")))
for item in items:
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(item).click(item).perform()
popup = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "contentPane")))
print(popup.text)
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[contains(#class, 'close')]"))).click()
To answer your particular question you cannot interact with svg elements like usual. For that you have to use xPath like I have provided in the example. Also you cannot click on these elements like usual, but you can use ActionChains.
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 5)
wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"#mapDiv_zoom_slider .esriSimpleSliderIncrementButton"))).click()
time.sleep(3)
items = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[name()='svg']//*[name()='circle']")
i = 0
for item in items:
try:
time.sleep(1)
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(item).click(item).perform()
except Exception:
print("Can't click")
This code works and every element will be clicked until the map will be zoomed in. At one of the elements the map zooms in and it doesn't work after that. Why? I didn't found out yet, but you can find it from yourself or ask another question and we will try to help you.
Note: you have to add some imports:
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
import time
EDIT: I have found the problem, you have to close every popup after click and then it works. The working code is below:
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 5)
wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#mapDiv_zoom_slider .esriSimpleSliderIncrementButton"))).click()
time.sleep(3) # wait until all elements will be ready
items = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[name()='svg']//*[name()='circle']")
for item in items:
time.sleep(0.5) # small pause before each iteration
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(item).click(item).perform()
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[#title = 'Close']"))).click()
I didn't find a way to avoid time.sleep(), probably in this particular case it is not possible.

Selenium working only for few pages -- Element is not clickable at point [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Selenium Web Driver & Java. Element is not clickable at point (x, y). Other element would receive the click

Closed 5 years ago.
I tried to automate Amazon/novels list page using selenium. It is working sometimes and not working sometimes. I am unable to understand the mistake in the code. It worked fine for some time and scrolled 13 pages out of 20. But from next time, it is not working properly. Till now it didn't scroll complete 20 pages.
from selenium import webdriver
from time import sleep
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
class App:
def __init__(self,path='F:\Imaging'):
self.path=path
self.driver = webdriver.Chrome('F:\chromedriver')
self.driver.get('https://www.amazon.in/s/ref=sr_pg_1?rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Anovels&keywords=novels&ie=UTF8&qid=1510727563')
sleep(1)
self.scroll_down()
self.driver.close()
def scroll_down(self):
self.driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0,5500);")
sleep(1)
load_more = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath('//span[#class="pagnRA"]/a[#title="Next Page"]')
load_more.click()
sleep(2)
for value in range(2,19):
print(self.driver.current_url)
sleep(3)
self.driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0,5500);")
sleep(2)
load_more = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath('//span[#class="pagnRA"]/a[#title="Next Page"]')
load_more.click()
sleep(3)
if __name__=='__main__':

The output for this code which i am getting is:

Process finished with exit code 1
How to solve this problem?
Try the following code:
load_more = ui.WebDriverWait(driver, timeout).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[#class="pagnRA"]/a[#title="Next Page"]")))
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", load_more)
load_more.click()
where timeout -- time in seconds for waiting for the element to be clickable.
Also, import the following at the beginning of the script:
from selenium.webdriver.support import ui
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
The error is that there is no Next Page element visible or clickable. You can either wait for the presence of this element like this, or put the .click() in a try / exception block to detect when it fails.
It is probably that either your target has legitimately run out of next pages (you have seen them all), or the page is still loading, or the format of the next link has changed.
I finally got the correct result using small modifications to the answer given by #RatmirAsanov.
Please see this code. This will scroll all pages without fail.
