Hello I want to write my e-mail automatically to a field on a website. The code that I'm trying is
driver.find_element_by_variable("variable").send_keys(username)
Normally I can do what I want on different websites but for this website I guess HTML codes are written little bit different. Here is the HTML code.
<div ><input placeholder="[email protected]" matinput=""
<input placeholder="[email protected]" matinput="" formcontrolname="username" type="text"
autocomplete="off"
id="mat-input-0" data-placeholder="[email protected]" aria-invalid="false" aria-required="false">
How should I write the find_element code?
CodePudding user response：
driver.find_element_by_variable() isn't a valid Locator Strategy
To send a character sequence to 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, "input.mat-input-element[id^='mat-input'][placeholder='[email protected]'][data-placeholder='[email protected]']"))).send_keys("text")Using
XPATH:WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[contains(@class, 'mat-input-element') and starts-with(@id, 'mat-input')][@placeholder='[email protected]' and @data-placeholder='[email protected]']"))).send_keys("berkay_doruk")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 can't be sure about the correct locator for that element since you didn't share a link to that page, however you can try the following:
- Get the web element.
- Click on it
- After the click send text to it
There are several possible locators that may work for this element. You can try this:
input = driver.find_element_xpath("//input[@formcontrolname='username']")
input.click()
input.send_keys(username)
