How to locate the first channel points button/icon on twitch.tv/esl_csgo using Selenium and Python

Time:11-23

On twitch.tv/esl_csgo I want to click on the channel points button/icon but it keeps giving me the Error Message: no such element: Unable to locate element I have searched and tried various methods of finding the element for over 4 hours and I have not found a way to click on the element

This is my code but it can not click on the button I want to, help would really be appreciated.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import time
     
options = Options()
options.add_argument("--user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\Me\\Desktop\\UserData")
options.page_load_strategy = 'normal'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get("https://twitch.tv/esl_csgo")

time.sleep(10)




element = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="c7037441c8fd58e7e0ac6326babcf03d"]/div/div[1]/div/div/div/div/div/section/div/div[5]/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/div/div/div/div[1]/div[2]/button/div/div/div/div[2]/span')

element.click()

CodePudding user response:

To click on the first channel points button/icon 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, "div[class^='InjectLayout-sc'] > div span[data-test-selector]"))).click()
    
  • Using XPATH:

    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[starts-with(@class, 'InjectLayout-sc')]/div//span[@data-test-selector]"))).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
