Python Selenium Opera for Youtube - getting error

Time:10-23

I am trying the code from the following URL and it seems to be working for Opera- Drive Opera with selenium python

import time

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome import service


webdriver_service = service.Service('D:\Driver\operadriver_win64\operadriver.exe')
webdriver_service.start()

driver = webdriver.Remote(webdriver_service.service_url, webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.OPERA)

driver.get('https://www.google.com/')
input_txt = driver.find_element_by_name('q')
input_txt.send_keys('operadriver\n')

time.sleep(5) #see the result
driver.quit()

But I get error when trying to search in Youtube with the following Xpath code-

driver.get('https://youtube.com/')
input_txt = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="search"]')
input_txt.send_keys('operadriver\n')

Error

Any suggestion why it's not working for youtube?

CodePudding user response:

Try this

driver.get('https://youtube.com/')
input_txt = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[@id="search"]')
input_txt.click()
time.sleep(1)
input_txt.send_keys('operadriver\n')
