CodePudding user response：

I see your XPATH is wrong, what you are doing currently is get all the ul tags in your page. However what you really need to do here is to get all li elements since all your autocomplete suggestions are stored in li.

Although your XPATH string can be optimized, but I would keep it the way you have with a simple change.

optionsList = driver.find_elements(By.XPATH,"//body/div[@class='L3eUgb']//form[@role='search']//div[@class='A8SBwf emcav']//div[@class='mkHrUc']/ul[1]/div[@role='presentation']/ul[@role='listbox']/li")

Now this should work.

CodePudding user response：

You .. probably don't need long xpaths to get those elements. Here is a (slightly) more robust solution, which will dismiss the cookie button if it comes up, wait for the elements to load, search for your string, go through the results and click on the relevant one:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")


webdriver_service = Service("chromedriver/chromedriver") ## path to where you saved chromedriver binary
browser = webdriver.Chrome(service=webdriver_service, options=chrome_options)
url = 'https://www.google.com'
browser.get(url)
try:
    deny_cookies = WebDriverWait(browser, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[@id='W0wltc']")))
    deny_cookies.click()
except Exception as e:
    print('no cookies')
search_box = WebDriverWait(browser, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[@name='q']")))
search_box.send_keys('myi')
search_box.click()
options = WebDriverWait(browser, 30).until(EC.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//li[@data-view-type='1']")))
for option in options:
    print(option.text)
    if option.text == 'myip':
        option.click()
        break

The selenium/chrome setup is for linux, however the relevant parts are:

imports: WebDriverWait, expected_conditions, By
the part after browser.get(url), where we explicitly wait for the elements to load and be clickable
