sumixam :
I am trying to programmatically click the button running a script on ubuntu server to get access to the website content. I am trying to reach the site with recipies
This is my code:
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path="/home/ubuntu/.linuxbrew/Cellar/geckodriver/0.26.0/bin/geckodriver",options=options)
data = []
# In[34]:
# click GDPR full-width banner
start_time = datetime.now()
driver.get("http://allrecipes.co.uk/")
time.sleep(10)
# gdpr_button = driver.find_element_by_link_text("Continue")
#gdpr_button = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//button[text()="Continue"]')
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@style='order:2' and @onclick='sendAndRedirect()']").click()
# //input[@onclick='sendAndRedirect()']
# <button style="order:2" onclick="sendAndRedirect();">Continue</button>
However, i cannot reach the element and get
selenium.common.exceptions.TimeoutException: Message: connection refused
How can I access 'Continue' button in GDPR form? Appreciate your help
DebanjanB :
The desired element is a dynamic element so to locate/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
CSS_SELECTOR:WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[onclick^='sendAndRedirect']"))).click()Using
XPATHand innerText event:WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[text()='Continue']"))).click()Using
XPATHand onclick event:WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[starts-with(@onclick, 'sendAndRedirect')]"))).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
