I right clicked the button, selected "Inspect" command and copied and used both XPATH and full XPATH. Neither of them worked for any of the commands below.
xpath = '//*[#id="ember949"]/footer/button[1]'
xpath_full = '/html/body/div[3]/div/div[2]/artdeco-tabs/artdeco-tabpanel[2]/form/footer/button[1]'
button = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, xpath)))
button = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, xpath_full)))
Can someone please explain? Thank you.
Without the HTML, I cannot give a definitive answer.
Looks like the first id may be dynamic and could change.
As for the second one, the full XPaths are brittle and I do not use them at all.
There could be an iframe that you should switch to first.
You could try searching the entire page for a button element with the continue-btn class:
//button[#class='continue-btn']
I would recommend using the Selector / CSS Selector. In the code just change
By.XPATH
to:
By.CSS_SELECTOR
and instead of copying the XPATH copy the Selector or in some cases CSS Selector.

...can you have answer for this query?
I am unable to click the Go button, even though using classname,xpath method.
can any one help us how to click that button?
Here is the answer to your Question:
The Go button is within a frame. So first you need to switch to the frame then locate the element and perform click() as follows:
//your code lines
driver.switchTo().frame("Main");
//your code lines
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[#name='go']")).click();
Alternative xpath :
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//form[#name='main']//button[#name='go']")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//form[#name='main']//button[text()='GO']")).click();
Let me know if this Answers your Question.
Try with CSS instead.
driver.switchTo().frame("main");
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("tr .buttonImage")).click();
i am trying to Automate flipkart website in which i am trying to change address but "add new adress" is not getting clicked i have attached the snapshot
my code is like driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='ng-app']/div/div[2]/ul/li[2]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/a/span")).click();
please give the appropriate help
I doesn't look that you are clicking active element, the xpath is //*[#id='ng-app']/div/div[2]/ul/li[2]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/a/span not correct it clicks on some span.
Use Firepath https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firepath/ to get the xpath.
To ensure that button is clickable Use isDisplayed() and isEnabled() method before clicking on "Add New Address" button, this method return boolean value.
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='ng-app']/div/div[2]/ul/li[2]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/a/span")).isDisplayed();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='ng-app']/div/div[2]/ul/li[2]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/a/span")).isEnabled();
Also you can verify that element is exist on page or not using below code
if(driver.findElements(byVal).size()!=0){
// Element is present.
}
hope it may helpful to identify cause of issue, why its not clickable.
First and foremost, Use a customized Xpath instead of the one you are using which is extracted directly from the browser. If no customized Xpath can be constructed then try a customized Css or any other locator if possible.
Try to go through the following attempts in order (I hope you can grasp why this is):
1- If .click() still doesn’t work, then keep on changing the values of the attributes you are using to construct your customized xpath, cssSelector, or locator.
2- Use the Actions class.
3- Use JavaScript executioner
4- instead of click(), try using any of: .sendKeys(“\n”). Or .sendKeys(keys.ENTER) or .sendKeys(keys.RETURN)
i try to make in webdriver a test.
go to http://programyedukacyjne.pl/konkurs/galeria-prac.html
click for example first vote "GŁOSUJ [star]"
and should appear a box to put email.
But nothing happend just add to url in browser "#vote_box_22"
I tryed use click(), Action and javascript click but still there no appear a form...
here is begine:
driver.get("http://programyedukacyjne.pl/konkurs/galeria-prac.html");
WebElement location = driver.findElement(By.name("filter_miejscowosc"));
location.sendKeys("nowy sącz", Keys.ENTER);
here is where I have problem
WebElement voteBtn = driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/div[4]/div/div[3]/div/div[4]/div/div[1]/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/a"));
voteBtn.click();
my secound solution
new Actions(driver).moveToElement(voteBtn).click().perform();
Try using a more specific selector that pinpoints the link more accurately in a less brittle way. The following CSS selector should select the vote link for the first result shown in the list:
WebElement voteBtn = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.praca:nth-of-type(1) a[href*='vote_box']"));
voteBtn.click();
I tried to locate an element on the page with the following but couldn't do.
element(by.css('.organizer-text.ng-binding')).click();
element(by.className('organizer-text')).click();
element(by.linkText('All Cases(1)')).click();
element(by.css('span[class="organizer-text"]')).click();
element(by.css('span[ng-class="{'folder-selected' : isSelected(node)}"]')).click();
element(by.css('span[title="All Cases (1)"')).click();
element(by.xpath('div//span[title()="All Cases(1)"]')).click();
Attaching the screenshot of the element with the DOM. Could you please help me on how to locate it?
<span class="organizer-text ng-binding"
tooltip="buildLabel(node.name, node.totalCases)"
ng-click="onLabelClick($event, node)"
ng-class="{'folder-selected' : isSelected(node)}"
ng-show="!node.showEditName" title="All Cases (1)">
All Cases (1)
</span>
The structure is div->span->multiple spans here (one of the spans here is the element)
try
element(by.xpath('//span[#title="All Cases(1)"]')).click();
I used browser.ignoreSynchronization = true; after logging into the page and it worked.
Looks like you found your answer yourself. But, this is for your own information. Just try this work flow out.
Right-click of your element and get the inspect element window.
Go to inspect element of the element and right-click
There will be a window with some options
Select copy Unique Selector option.
element(by.css('paste your Unique Selector here')).click();
Like step 5 paste your unique selector
Hope this helps. :)
I'm using Selenium Webdriver to test a web page.
The web page http://www.leaseplan.nl/contact/index.asp has two buttons, one button with button text 'Zoeken' and one with button text 'Verstuur'. I want to click on the button with button text 'Verstuur' either by using XPath or CssSelector with the following code:
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("/html/body/div[3]/div[2]/div[2]/form/fieldset/a/span")).Click();
driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("fieldset.contact_form > a.button > span.button_center")).Click();
But using the either one of the above lines of code, on the button with text 'Zoeken' is clicked on instead.
This button has quite a similar CssSelector and XPath:
fieldset.header_search a.button span.button_center
/html/body/div[3]/div/form/fieldset/a/span[2]
Does anybody know how to solve this?
Try this out with the cssSelector and tell me if it's work.
For "verstuur" :
By.cssSelector("div.content form a.button")
Solution :
Ok, i've found your problem. Your xpath is good but now, your action on the click submit the first form, so the form with "Zoeken".
onclick="document.forms[0].submit();" // submit the 1st form, the bad one !
Try this :
onclick="document.forms["form"].submit();" // submit the 2nd form, the good one !
//or
onclick="document.forms[1].submit();"
proof : Jsfiddle
xpath for ZOEKEN /html/body/div[3]/div/form/fieldset/a/span[2]
xpath for VERSTUUR /html/body/div[3]/div[2]/div[2]/form/fieldset/a/span[2]
Try this:
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//span[text()='Verstuur']")).click();
Edit:
I think you want to learn Selenium that's why you are using 3rd party websites. If you really want to learn Selenium find some opensource applications to automate. Here is a good application to automate -
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sugarcrm/files/1%20-%20SugarCRM%206.5.X/FastStack/
Download the latest version and install.
Find more info about the website and selenium stuff here. It's so good..
http://selftechy.com/2011/02/05/introduction-to-selenium-web-application-test-automation-tool
Zoeken: driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[1]/form/fieldset/a/span[2]")).click();
Verstuur : driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[2]/form/fieldset/a/span[2]")).click();
Using xpath is easy but slow.
