I have bar graph in a website and need to click on it. Using developer tools, I am getting below xpath:
/html/body/root/main/portal/div[2]/div/div/div/my-portal/div[3]/td-tyr/td-tyr/div[1]/filter-bar/div/div[3]/div[1]/div[1]/bar-chart/div/div[1]/div/svg/g[4]/g[1]/rect[1]
When using the above in xpath, it's giving invalid expression. Any help will be appreciated.
CodePudding user response:
To click on the Bar Graph as the element have a parent <svg>
element you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using
css_selector
:driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "bar-chart svg g rect.highcharts-point.highcharts-color-0.highcharts-point-hover[x='31.5'][y='40.5']").click()
Using
xpath
:driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//bar-chart//*[name()='svg']//*[name()='g']//*[name()='rect'][@x='31.5' and @y='40.5']").click()
Ideally to click on a clickable 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, "bar-chart svg g rect.highcharts-point.highcharts-color-0.highcharts-point-hover[x='31.5'][y='40.5']"))).click()
Using
XPATH
:WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//bar-chart//*[name()='svg']//*[name()='g']//*[name()='rect'][@x='31.5' and @y='40.5']"))).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

There are basically 4 ways to click in Selenium.
I will use this xpath
//rect[@class='highcharts-point highcharts-color-0 highcharts-point-hover'][@stroke='#ffffff']
Code trial 1:
time.sleep(5)
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//rect[@class='highcharts-point highcharts-color-0 highcharts-point-hover'][@stroke='#ffffff']").click()
Code trial 2:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//rect[@class='highcharts-point highcharts-color-0 highcharts-point-hover'][@stroke='#ffffff']"))).click()
Code trial 3:
time.sleep(5)
button = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//rect[@class='highcharts-point highcharts-color-0 highcharts-point-hover'][@stroke='#ffffff']")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", button)
Code trial 4:
time.sleep(5)
button = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//rect[@class='highcharts-point highcharts-color-0 highcharts-point-hover'][@stroke='#ffffff']")
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(button).click().perform()
Imports:
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
PS : Please check in the dev tools
(Google chrome) if we have unique entry in HTML DOM
or not.
Steps to check:
Press F12 in Chrome
-> go to element
section -> do a CTRL F
-> then paste the xpath
and see, if your desired element
is getting highlighted with 1/1
matching node.
