How to click on the reCAPTCHA using Selenium and Java - selenium

Question

Why am I getting errors when trying to get the driver to click on the reCAPTCHA button?
This is the site where I am trying to get it to work: https://rsps100.com/vote/760/
This is my current code so far:
WebElement iframeSwitch = driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[1]/div/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div/form/div/div/div/div/iframe"));
driver.switchTo().frame(iframeSwitch);
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div[class=recaptcha-checkbox-checkmark]")).click();

Answer 1

To invoke click() on the reCaptcha checkbox as the element is within an <iframe> you need to:
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt.
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired elementToBeClickable.
You can use the following solution:
Code Block:
public class ReCaptcha_click {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("start-maximized");
options.addArguments("disable-infobars");
options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get("https://rsps100.com/vote/760");
new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.xpath("//iframe[starts-with(#name, 'a-') and starts-with(#src, 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha')]")));
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("div.recaptcha-checkbox-checkmark"))).click();
}
}

Use WebDriverWait to identify the element.See if this help.
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.xpath("//iframe[starts-with(#name,'a-')]")));
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("div.recaptcha-checkbox-checkmark")));
element.click();

Answer 3

This worked for me. Please note that I am using Selenide. For regular selenium code look the same.
import static com.codeborne.selenide.Selenide.*;
void recaptchaTest() {
open("https://rsps100.com/vote/760");
switchTo().frame($x("//iframe[starts-with(#name, 'a-') and starts-with(#src, 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha')]"));
$("div.rc-anchor-content").click();
switchTo().defaultContent();
}

Answer 4

Here is the code that should work.
driver.switchTo().frame("a-9wt0e8vkopnm");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[#id='recaptcha-anchor']")).click();

Answer 5

I solved this maybe on the stupid way. But hawe in mind that I am not in test environment and I practicing automatization of tests. So this is my solution:
Beside using
public void notABot( ) {
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds( 15 ));
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.xpath("//iframe[starts-with(#name,'a-') and starts-with (#src, 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha')]")));
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//div [ #class = 'recaptcha-checkbox-border']"))).click( );
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
}
this, I also added custom send keys method
public void inputEmail( ) {
inputEmail.click( );
String email = Strings.EMAIL_FOR_SIGNUP;
for (int i = 0; i < email.length(); i++) {
char c = email.charAt(i);
String s = new StringBuilder( ).append( c ).toString( );
inputEmail.sendKeys( s );
sleepSendKeys( );
}
}
Sleep is 300 millis. In 96 procent time I manage to cheat google reCaptcha that actually human is login to the page. Its work for me
