I can't click a button containing JavaScript:
<div style="width:100%; float:left;"><div class="btn btn-search" onclick="javascript: search(); " style="cursor:pointer;width:100%" align="center">Ara</div></div>
I found the element, but the code below doesn't click:
browser.find_element_by_xpath('//div[#class="btn btn-search"]').click()
or
browser.find_element_by_xpath('//div[#onclick="javascript:"]').click()
This message is returned:
Message: unknown error: Element is not clickable at point (1153, 417)
From the error it looks like.
The element is loaded into the DOM, but the position is not fixed on the UI yet.
There can be some other divs not getting loaded completely.
Possible solutions:
Use WebdriverWait with click()
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 30)
element = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, //div[#class="btn btn-search"]')))
element.click()
Use WebdriverWait with Javascript execution
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 30)
element = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//div[#class="btn btn-search"]')))
browser.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)

I am running into this issue when trying to click a button using selenium. The button html reads as below:
<button class="Component-button-0-2-65 Component-button-d1-0-2-68">and 5 more</button>
My code is here:
button = EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,'.//button[contains(#class,"Component-button-d")]'))
if button:
print("TRUE")
button.click()
My output is:
TRUE
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 47, in <module>
button.click()
AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'click'
I am stumped as to why 'button' element is found by selenium (print(True) statement is executed) but then the click() method returns an attribute error.
This is the page I am scraping data from: https://religiondatabase.org/browse/regions
I am able to extract all the information I need on the page, so the code leading up to the click is working.
I was expecting the item to be clickable. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot the attribute error (function object has no attribute click). Because it I paste the xpath into the webpage, it highlights the correct element.
Your code is incorrect. You can find below an example of how you can use Expected Conditions (along with WebdriverWait):
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
## [...define your driver here, other imports etc]
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 25)
##[open a url, etc]
element = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//div[#class="input-group"]')))
element.click()
Selenium documentation can be found here.
The element search is always done through the driver object which is the WebDriver instance in it's core form:
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "element_xpath")
But when you apply WebDriverWait, the wait configurations are applied on the driver object.
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "element_xpath")))
So even during WebDriverWait the driver object needs to be present along with the expected_conditions and the locator strategy.
This usecase
This line of code:
button = EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,'.//button[contains(#class,"Component-button-d")]'))
button object references to a junk value but on probing returns true and prints TRUE but the click can't be performed as button is not of WebElement type.
Solution
Given the HTML:
<button class="Component-button-0-2-65 Component-button-d1-0-2-68">and 5 more</button>
To click on the element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:
Using XPATH with classname:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "//button[contains(#class,'Component-button-d')]"))).click()
Using XPATH with classname and innerText:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[contains(#class,'Component-button-d') and text()='and 5 more']"))).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 scrape this web page: https://whalewisdom.com/filer/fisher-asset-management-llc#tabholdings_tab_link

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//*[#class='btn btn-default dropdown-toggle']"))).click()
thank you for your help.

You code clicked on wrong button because you have multiple elements with exact same class and you are fetching the first one and clicking on it.
Also I see on the page, you sometime get a popup which may make other elements not interactable. SO we would want the popup to close first(if appeared) then move ahead.
Using Chrome driver
Setup and Imports
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
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.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
# REPLACE YOUR CHROME PATH HERE
chrome_path = r"C:\Users\hpoddar\Desktop\Tools\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe"
s = Service(chrome_path)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=s)
Fetch the page
driver.get(' https://whalewisdom.com/filer/fisher-asset-management-llc#tabholdings_tab_link')
Close the popup(if appeared)
try:
popup = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//a[#id='dfwid-close-184302']")))
popup.click()
except TimeoutException:
print("No Popup appeared on the page")
Click on dropdown and the menu item 50
dropdown = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, '.btn-group.dropdown')
dropdown.click()
ele50 = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//li[#role="menuitem"]/a[contains(text(), "50")]')
ele50.click()
Output
The above code clicks on item 50
Using Firefox driver
The imports would be same as above, the following code would also remains some with just a minute change.
# REPLACE YOUR FIREFOX DRIVER PATH HERE
firefoxpath = r'C:\Users\hpoddar\Desktop\Tools\firefoxdriver\geckodriver.exe'
s = Service(firefoxpath)
driver = webdriver.Firefox(service=s)
driver.get(' https://whalewisdom.com/filer/fisher-asset-management-llc#tabholdings_tab_link')
try:
popup = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//a[#id='dfwid-close-184302']")))
popup.click()
except TimeoutException:
print("No Popup appeared on the page")
dropdown = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, '.btn-group.dropdown')
dropdown.click()
ele50 = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//li[#role="menuitem"]/a[contains(text(), "50")]')
ele50.click()
Output
which similarly clicks on the desired element
I'd like to click the button 'Annual' at a page that is by default set on 'Quarterly'. There are two links that are basically called the same, except that one has data-ptype="Annual" so I tryed to copy the xpath to click the button (also tried other options but none did work).
However, I get the AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'click'. I read a lot of similar posts, but wasn't able to fix my problem.. so I assume that javascript event must be called/clicked/performed somehow differnt.. idk Im stuck
from selenium import webdriver
link = 'https://www.investing.com/equities/apple-computer-inc-balance-sheet'
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get(link)
elm = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("/html/body/div[5]/section/div[8]/div[1]/a[1]").click()
The html is the following:
<a class="newBtn toggleButton LightGray" href="javascript:void(0);" data-type="rf-type-button" data-ptype="Annual" data-pid="6408" data-rtype="BAL">..</a>
you need to use find_element_by_xpath not find_elements_by_xpath that return a list
driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[5]/section/div[8]/div[1]/a[1]").click()
Also i think is better to use Waits for example.
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.firefox.options import Options
options = Options()
options.add_argument("--window-size=1920,1080")
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_options=options)
path = "/html/body/div[5]/section/div[8]/div[1]/a[1]"
try:
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(
EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, path)))
element.click()
finally:
driver.quit()
I would still suggest you to go with linkText over XPATH. Reason this xpath : /html/body/div[5]/section/div[8]/div[1]/a[1] is quite absolute and can be failed if there is one more div added or removed from HTML. Whereas chances of changing the link Text is very minimal.
So, Instead of this code :
elm = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("/html/body/div[5]/section/div[8]/div[1]/a[1]").click()
try this code :
annual_link = driver.find_element_by_link_text('Annual')
annual_link.click()
and yes #Druta is right, use find_element for one web element and find_elements for list of web element. and it is always good to have explicit wait.
Create instance of explicit wait like this :
wait = WebDriverWait(driver,20)
and use the wait reference like this :
wait.until(EC.elementToBeClickable(By.LINK_TEXT, 'Annual'))
UPDATE:
from selenium import webdriver
link = 'https://www.investing.com/equities/apple-computer-inc-balance-sheet'
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.maximize_window()
wait = WebDriverWait(driver,40)
driver.get(link)
driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, 200)")
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, 'Annual')))
annual_link = driver.find_element_by_link_text('Annual')
annual_link.click()
print(annual_link.text)
make sure to import these :
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
As per the documentation find_elements_by_xpath(xpath) returns a List with elements if any was found or else an empty list if not. Python's List have no click() method associated with it. Instead find_element_by_xpath(xpath) method have the click() method associated with it. So you have to use find_element_by_xpath(xpath) method inducing a waiter through WebDriverWait inconjunction with expected_conditions set as element_to_be_clickable(locator) as follows:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[#class='newBtn toggleButton LightGray' and #data-type='rf-type-button']"))).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
Notice that find_elements_by_xpath is plural it returns a list of elements. Not just one. The list can contain none, exactly one, or more elements.
You can for example click the first match with:
driver.find_elements_by_xpath("/html/body/div[5]/section/div[8]/div[1]/a[1]")[0].click()
or iterate through the list and click all these elements, or you can use the find_element_by_xpath (which returns a single element, if it can be found):
driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[5]/section/div[8]/div[1]/a[1]").click()
For me, it was not working, and tried a hell lot of tricks, and none worked. Some people recommended driver.implicitly_wait(10) instead of time.sleep(10) which didn't work. so please try giving time.sleep(10) both above and below the .click() code line, and check if it works or not.

I have the following element inside an iframe. This tag displays a ">" icon and will flip to the next graph on the URL when the user clicks on it. You can see it in the following URL where it says
< 1 of 16 >
https://msdh.ms.gov/msdhsite/_static/14,21995,420,873.html
<a>
<i class="glyphicon glyph-small pbi-glyph-chevronrightmedium middleIcon active pbi-focus-outline" focus-element="" tabindex="0" title="Next Page">
</i>
</a>
Using Selenium how can I send a click action to this element to flip to the next graph?
url='https://msdh.ms.gov/msdhsite/_static/14,21995,420,873.html'
p='my/path/to/chromedriver'
driver=webdriver.Chrome(p)
driver.get(url)
myframe=driver.find_element_by_class_name("flexibleFrame")
driver.switch_to.frame(myframe)
i = driver.find_element_by_class_name("glyphicon")
The > icon is within a <iframe> so to interact with the WebElement using Selenium you have to:
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired visibility_of_element_located().
scrollIntoView() the WebElement.
You can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
driver.get('https://msdh.ms.gov/msdhsite/_static/14,21995,420,873.html')
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe.flexibleFrame")))
elem = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "i.glyphicon.glyph-small.pbi-glyph-chevronrightmedium.middleIcon.active.pbi-focus-outline[title='Next Page']")))
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", elem)
elem.click()
Using XPATH:
driver.get('https://msdh.ms.gov/msdhsite/_static/14,21995,420,873.html')
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[#class='flexibleFrame']")))
elem = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//i[#class='glyphicon glyph-small pbi-glyph-chevronrightmedium middleIcon active pbi-focus-outline' and #title='Next Page']")))
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", elem)
elem.click()

Hi~in this music websit:
Music website link
i want to click on the like button in the right side of the song bar
i use below codes:
like_number=3
like_pos=f'#app > div > div.content-wrapper > div.song-list-view.list-view.view-without-leftbar > div.song-list > div > div.table.idle.song-table.song-list-table > div > table > tbody > tr:nth-child({str(like_number)}) > td:nth-child(5) > div > div > div:nth-child(1) > div'
button = self.browser.find_element_by_css_selector(like_pos)
self.browser.implicitly_wait(10)
ActionChains(self.browser).move_to_element(button).click(button).perform()
But,there is no response,console shows that my the tag is not interactive:
element not interactable” exception
I am so confused ,cause i search for whole the stack overflow ,but there is no practical solution for me
I just want to achieve a simple function of clicking on like button
Thanks if you have any great idea for me!
The hard thing is that you have to pause you mouse for a while and then click button shows ,so that you are able to click on it ,this is so wired situation.
Below is image example
To click() on the Like button in the right side of the song bar you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use the following Locator Strategies:
Code Block:
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
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument("start-maximized")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)
driver.get("https://www.xiami.com/favorite/88955424")
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//table/tbody/tr//div[#class='duration-container ops-container']")))).perform()
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//table/tbody/tr//div[#class='duration-container ops-container']//div[#class='operations ops-right']/div[#class='ops-item']/div[#class='iconfont']"))).click()
