selenium/ select element inside a sidebar_wrapper - selenium

Question

I have been trying to have my selenium code click on the search in the sidebar menu and open the search page. But I have had no luck getting it right. All I get is selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":"div[class*=sidebar-wrapper]"}
Here is how the HTML looks like:
Here my code:
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions
from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select
from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://xxxx.com/Login")
username = driver.find_element_by_id("username")
username.clear()
username.send_keys("xxxxx")
password = driver.find_element_by_name("password")
password.clear()
password.send_keys("yyyyyy")
driver.find_element_by_name("login").click()
import time
time.sleep( 5 )
new=driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div/div[1]/div/ul/li[9]/a")
newpage=new.click()
time.sleep( 10 )
**I tried many different combinations such as:**
#driver.find_element_by_css_selector("div[class*=sidebar-wrapper]").get(3).click()
#driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[1]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[2]/a").click()
#driver.find_element_by_class_name("#sidebar-wrapper > div > div > div.top > div > div:nth-child(2) > a > span.page-name").click()
I am not able to figure out where my mistake is when selecting the element. any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Try below code -
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
MyLink = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//div[#class="top"]/div[#class="pages"]/div[2]/a')))
MyLink.click()
list of imports -
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
You can also try the below code -
WebElement elem = driver.findElement(By.xpath("element_xpath"));
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", elem);
One More method you can try is -
action = ActionChains(driver)
action.move_to_element(yourElement).click().perform()
Let me know the outcome.
