Python/Selenium: Click on cookie consent-CodePudding

I am tring to accept a cookie banner in python using selenium.

So far, I tried a lot to access to the "Accept and continue" (or in german "Akzeptieren und weiter") button, but none of my tries is working.

Some things I already tried out:

driver.get("https://www.spiegel.de/")
time.sleep(5)


try:
    driver.find_element_by_css_selector('.sp_choice_type_11').click() 
except:
    print('css selector failed')

try:
    driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[2]/div/div/div/div[3]/div[1]/button').click() 
except:
    print('xpath failed')
    
try:
    driver.find_element_by_class_name('message-component message-button no-children focusable primary-button font-sansUI font-bold sp_choice_type_11 first-focusable-el').click() 
except:
    print('full class failed')
    
try:
    driver.find_element_by_class_name('message-component').click() 
except:
    print('one class component failed')

What else can I try to accept cookies on that website?

The Element Accept and continue is in an Iframe. Need to switch to frame to perform click operation on the same. Try like below:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="path to chromedriver.exe")
driver.maximize_window()

driver.get("https://www.spiegel.de/")

wait = WebDriverWait(driver,30)

wait.until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[@title='Privacy Center']")))

cookie = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"//button[text()='Accept and continue']")))
cookie.click()

CodePudding user response：

While the other answer uses xpath, which is not the preferred locator in Selenium automation, You can use the below css to switch to iframe :

iframe[id^=sp_message_iframe]

Code :

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "iframe[id^=sp_message_iframe]")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until((EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[title='Accept and continue']")))).click()

Imports :

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

It is recommended to have try and except like you've in your code.
