selenium xpath unable to identify click on web page

Time:09-20

I am trying to click on the rate button to set the rating for the movie Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon on the IMDB website as illustrated by the image further below.

I have tried various combinations of selenium xpath values and have googled various links to attempt to achieve this, but can't remember which now. My current python is below less logging onto the IMDB website to be able to effect this new rating.

driver.get('https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8760670/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0')
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)

xpath = "(//div[@data-testid='hero-rating-bar__user-rating'])[1]//button"
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, xpath))).click()

xpath = "//button[@aria-label='Rate 1']//svg"
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, xpath))).click()

The first click works as I want; but the second fails. The HTML I'm trying to scrape is below:

<div >
    <div ></div>
    <div >
        <button  role="button" aria-label="Rate 1" tabindex="0">
            <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24"  id="iconContext-star" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="currentColor" role="presentation">
                <path d="M12 17.27l4.15 2.51c.76.46 1.69-.22 1.49-1.08l-1.1-4.72 3.67-3.18c.67-.58.31-1.68-.57-1.75l-4.83-.41-1.89-4.46c-.34-.81-1.5-.81-1.84 0L9.19 8.63l-4.83.41c-.88.07-1.24 1.17-.57 1.75l3.67 3.18-1.1 4.72c-.2.86.73 1.54 1.49 1.08l4.15-2.5z"></path>
            </svg>
        </button>

The python currently produces this error message:

I asked a similar enter image description here

CodePudding user response:

Try to click the stars using Javascript executor, it is working:

stars = driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"(//*[@class='ipc-starbar__rating']/button)[1]")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", stars)

If you want to give more ratings change in number '1' in the xpath to whatever you want up to '10'
