I try to interact with the elements (button at this scenario) inside Disqus iframe on this webpage:
This is my trial code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
import time
path_to_chromedriver = r"c:\users\tv21\source\repos\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=path_to_chromedriver)
driver.maximize_window()
url = "https://www.postoj.sk/91472/po-navsteve-kina-si-precitajte-aj-kniznu-predlohu"
driver.get(url)
time.sleep(5)
button_to_close = driver.execute_script("return document.querySelector('body').querySelector('div.grv-dialog-host').shadowRoot.querySelector('div').querySelector('div.buttons-wrapper').querySelector('button.sub-dialog-btn.block_btn')")
ac = ActionChains(driver)
ac.move_to_element(button_to_close).click().perform()
open_discussion = driver.find_element_by_class_name('article-disqus-wrapper')
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].setAttribute('style','display: block;')", open_discussion)
disqus_thread = driver.find_element_by_id("disqus_thread")
iframe_element = disqus_thread.find_element_by_tag_name("iframe")
driver.switch_to.frame(iframe_element)
time.sleep(1)
button_to_load_more = driver.find_element_by_partial_link_text("Nahraj viac komentárov")
ac = ActionChains(driver)
ac.move_to_element(button_to_load_more).click().perform()
The issue is the last command:
ac.move_to_element(button_to_load_more).click().perform()
which shows an error: "move target out of bounds"
I tried instead:
button_to_load_more.click()
and
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", button_to_load_more)
which both work completely fine as the alternatives and I can click the button.
However, I try to understand the reason for being out of bounds when using move_to_element(). I get exactly the same error always when I want to hover over any elements inside Disqus iframe too.
Can anyone help me to fix it or explain to me how to fix it?
First one dint worked because of the known issue in selenium,i guess you are using 3.4 hence facing this.(But it should work after trying newer version of selenium)

Section 0: Introduction:
This is my first webscraping project and I am not experienced in using selenium . I am trying to scrape arabic verb-conjugation tables from the website:
Online Sarf Generator
Any help with the following probelem will be great.
Thank you.
Section 1: The Problem:
I am trying to webscrape from the following website:
Online Sarf Generator
For doing this, I am trying to use Selenium.
I basically need to select the three root letters and the family from the four toggle menus as shown in the picture below:
After this, I have to click the 'Generate Sarf Table' button.
Section 2: My Attempt:
Here is my code:
#------------------ Just Setting Up the web_driver:
s = Service('/usr/local/bin/chromedriver')
# Set some selenium chrome options:
chromeOptions = Options()
# chromeOptions.headless = False
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=s, options=chromeOptions)
driver.get('https://sites.google.com/view/sarfgenerator/home')
# I switch the frame once:
iframe = driver.find_elements(by=By.CSS_SELECTOR, value='iframe')[0]
driver.switch_to.frame(iframe)
# I switch the frame again:
iframe = driver.find_elements(by=By.CSS_SELECTOR, value='iframe')[0]
driver.switch_to.frame(iframe)
This takes me to the frame within which the webelements that I need are located.
Now, I print the html to see where I am at:
print(BeautifulSoup(driver.execute_script("return document.body.innerHTML;"),'html.parser'))
Here is the output that I get:
<iframe frameborder="0" id="userHtmlFrame" scrolling="yes">
</iframe>
<script>function loadGapi(){var loaderScript=document.createElement('script');loaderScript.setAttribute('src','https://apis.google.com/js/api.js?checkCookie=1');loaderScript.onload=function(){this.onload=function(){};loadGapiClient();};loaderScript.onreadystatechange=function(){if(this.readyState==='complete'){this.onload();}};(document.head||document.body||document.documentElement).appendChild(loaderScript);}function updateUserHtmlFrame(userHtml,enableInteraction,forceIosScrolling){var frame=document.getElementById('userHtmlFrame');if(enableInteraction){if(forceIosScrolling){var iframeParent=frame.parentElement;iframeParent.classList.add('forceIosScrolling');}else{frame.style.overflow='auto';}}else{frame.setAttribute('scrolling','no');frame.style.pointerEvents='none';}clearCookies();clearStorage();frame.contentWindow.document.open();frame.contentWindow.document.write('<base target="_blank">'+userHtml);frame.contentWindow.document.close();}function onGapiInitialized(){gapi.rpc.call('..','innerFrameGapiInitialized');gapi.rpc.register('updateUserHtmlFrame',updateUserHtmlFrame);}function loadGapiClient(){gapi.load('gapi.rpc',onGapiInitialized);}if(document.readyState=='complete'){loadGapi();}else{self.addEventListener('load',loadGapi);}function clearCookies(){var cookies=document.cookie.split(";");for(var i=0;i<cookies.length;i++){var cookie=cookies[i];var equalPosition=cookie.indexOf("=");var name=equalPosition>-1?cookie.substr(0,equalPosition):cookie;document.cookie=name+"=;expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT";document.cookie=name+"=;expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:01 GMT ;domain=.googleusercontent.com";}}function clearStorage(){try{localStorage.clear();sessionStorage.clear();}catch(e){}}</script>
However, the actual html on the website looks like this:
Section 3: The main problem with my approach:
I am unable to access the anything #document contained within the iframe.
Section 4: Conclusion:
Is there a possible solution that can fix my current approach to the problem?
Is there any other way to solve the problem described in Section 1?
You put a lot of effort into structuring your question, so I couldn't not answer it, even if it meant double negation.
Here is how you can drill down into the iframe with content:
EDIT: here is how you can select some options, click the button and access the results:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
chrome_options.add_argument('disable-notifications')
chrome_options.add_argument("window-size=1280,720")
webdriver_service = Service("chromedriver_linux64/chromedriver") ## path to where you saved chromedriver binary
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=webdriver_service, options=chrome_options)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 25)
url = 'https://sites.google.com/view/sarfgenerator/home'
driver.get(url)
wait.until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH, '//*[#aria-label="Custom embed"]')))
wait.until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="innerFrame"]')))
wait.until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="userHtmlFrame"]')))
first_select = Select(wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//select[#id="root1"]'))))
second_select = Select(wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//select[#id="root2"]'))))
third_select = Select(wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//select[#id="root3"]'))))
first_select.select_by_visible_text("ج")
second_select.select_by_visible_text("ت")
third_select.select_by_visible_text("ص")
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, ('//button[#onclick="sarfGenerator(false)"]')))).click()
print('clicked')
result = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//p[#id="demo"]')))
print(result.text)
Result printed in terminal:

Selenium setup is for Linux, you just have to observe the imports, and the part after defining the driver.
Selenium documentation can be found here.
I am trying to open the full text on a page when using selenium.
I got the following code:
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver as wb
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import time
webD=wb.Chrome("C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe")
webD.get('https://www.flashscore.com/')
webD.maximize_window() # For maximizing window
webD.implicitly_wait(2) # gives an implicit wait for 20 seconds
webD.find_element_by_id('onetrust-reject-all-handler').click()
matchpages = webD.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, "preview-ico.icon--preview")
Open_full_text = webD.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, "previewShowMore.showMore")
for matchpages in matchpages:
matchpages.click()
time.sleep(5)
for Open_full_text in Open_full_text:
Open_full_text.click()
However, When I try to let this script click on the open full text button, it does not open up completely.
What is the reason for this, or how can this be adjusted? Is it ok to use the for loop in this scenario, or do I have to use another method?
Thanks very much!
I have made code, see following lines:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
PATH = "C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.get("https://www.flashscore.com/match/jBvNMej6/#match-summary")
print(driver.title)
driver.maximize_window() # For maximizing window
driver.implicitly_wait(10) # gives an implicit wait for 20 seconds
driver.find_element_by_id('onetrust-reject-all-handler').click()
time.sleep(2)
driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME,'previewShowMore.showMore').click()
main = driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME,'previewLine'[b[text()="Hot stat:"]]/text)
print(main.text)
time.sleep(2)
driver.close()
However, I get the following error.
main = driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME,'previewLine'[b[text()="Hot stat:"]]/text)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
What can I do to avoid this?
thx! : )
Well, in this line
main = driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME,'previewLine'[b[text()="Hot stat:"]]/text)
You have made a great mix :)
Your locator is absolutely invalid.
Also, if you want to print the paragraph text without the "Hot streak" you will need to remove that string from the entire div (paragraph) text.
This should do what you are trying to achieve:
main = driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"//div[#class='previewLine' and ./b[text()='Hot streak']]").text
main = main.replace('Hot streak','')
print(main)
I'm not finding any text 'Hot stat:'. You'll have to attach the html code where you found that.
I assume that you want to retrieve the text of a specific previewLine?
main = driver.find_element(By.XPATH ,'//div[#class="previewLine"]/b[contains(text(),"Hot streak")]/..')
print(main.text)
I'm using Selenium and beautifulSoup4 for scraping. The problem is that my script sometimes 'result'is empty and sometimes no. I don't understand why it's not working sometimes. Is it a security problem in the website or RAM problem ? I have no idea
page_source = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source, "html.parser")
result= page_source.find_all('div',{'class':'pv-profile-section-pager ember-view'})
your class name can be error somewhere, you can try:
result= page_source.find_all('div',{'class': lambda x: x and 'pv-profile-section-pager' in x})
or iframe html tag can be also a problem here
Select iframe using Python + Selenium
I would suggest to have some delay, cause there's no error as per OP.
put some time.sleep(5)
if you want to do it using Selenium, I would suggest you to have a look on ExplicitWait from Selenium in Python bindings.
Python - Selenium - ExplicitWait
Sample code :
try:
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "myDynamicElement"))
)
finally:
driver.quit()
I'm trying to write this code using Selenium and Python:
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://demo.guru99.com/test/login.html')
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
email = firefox.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="email"]')
email.send_keys('user#gmail.com')
passwd = firefox.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="passwd"]')
passwd.send_keys('123456')
But I don't understand why this error occured, please help me
In your code, you are making a an instance of the webdriver.Firefox() object and calling it browser
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
Later on in your code, you try to find an element by xpath using a varible called firefox
email = firefox.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="email"]')
The problem is that that firefox was never actually created, I think what you meant to do is
email = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="email"]')
You are defining the variable browser as a webdriver object. You then attempt to use firefox as a webdriver object, but you never defined the variable firefox. This is one way to solve your problem. You're better off calling the variable browser, rather than firefox, because then you can just change the browser type in your first line of code and the code will not be confusing.
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://demo.guru99.com/test/login.html')
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
email = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="email"]')
email.send_keys('user#gmail.com')
passwd = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="passwd"]')
passwd.send_keys('123456')
