How to interact with the button using Selenium webdriver and Python

Time:08-03

I want to try filling out the form on this page: https://konzinfoidopont.mfa.gov.hu. However, when I try to select the dropdown menu and click it, I get the following error:

selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: .

This is the mentioned button:

<button  data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal2">Helyszín kiválasztása</button>

And my code yet:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import time

url = "https://konzinfoidopont.mfa.gov.hu"

driver = webdriver.Safari()
driver.get(url)
time.sleep(5)
elem = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#label1 > button")
elem.click()

CodePudding user response:

The desired element is within a Modal Dialog Box, so to click on the 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:

    driver.execute("get", {'url': 'https://konzinfoidopont.mfa.gov.hu/'})
    driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button.btn.btn-sm.btn-primary.dropdown-toggle[data-toggle='modal']"))))
    
  • Using XPATH:

    driver.execute("get", {'url': 'https://konzinfoidopont.mfa.gov.hu/'})     
    driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[contains(@class, 'btn btn-sm btn-primary dropdown-toggle') and @data-toggle='modal'][contains(@data-target, 'modal2') and text()='Helyszín kiválasztása']"))))
    
  • 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
