Python selenium: How to click on span element?-CodePudding

So hello! First of all. I'm not very familiar with python and selenium that's why i need your help! The story: I want to make an IMVU auto badge collector for my gf which means you type a url that you want to collect badges from then it will automatically collects for you. (To collect badges you have to click a span) I writed the beggining of the code so i can login automatically and start to collect BUT some weird things are happening. When i'm not login the program can click on the spans but when i login it can't. Why? The id and the class is the same. I tried lot of thing: i changed the find_element to xpath, when i login i tried to make a new window then collect there etc. but nothing happened. Can somebody help me? I would be very happy!

here is the code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import time
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys


PATH = "C:\chromedriver\chromedriver.exe"
options = Options()
options.headless = False
options.add_argument("--mute-audio")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH, options=options)

def login():
    driver.get("https://secure.imvu.com/welcome/login/")

    time.sleep(3)

    driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/section/div/div/div/section/div/div/button').click()
    driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="__default__"]/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/ul/a').click() 

    time.sleep(3)

    username = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[6]/section[2]/div/div/div/section/form/div[1]/input')
    password = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[6]/section[2]/div/div/div/section/form/div[2]/div[2]/input')
    username.send_keys("username")
    password.send_keys("password")

    time.sleep(3)

    driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[6]/section[2]/div/div/div/section/form/div[4]/button').click()

    time.sleep(5)

def claim():
    #driver.get("https://secure.imvu.com/welcome/login/")

    #input("Press Enter to continue...")

    #driver.execute_script('''window.open("https://avatars.imvu.com/qub","_blank");''')

    #time.sleep(3)

    driver.get("https://avatars.imvu.com/qub")

    time.sleep(5)

    driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[contains(@id,'grant-badge-74354585-1')]").click()

    time.sleep(5)


    #driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/table[1]/tbody/tr/td/table[2]/tbody/tr/td[1]/div/div[4]/table/tbody/tr/td/div/div/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[1]/span').click()


login()
claim()

CodePudding user response：

You are using absolute xpath which is brittle.

You should opt for relative xpath.

The below code is just for login, Where I am using explicit waits.

driver = webdriver.Chrome(driver_path)
driver.maximize_window()
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 30)

driver.get("https://secure.imvu.com/welcome/login/")
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, "Log In"))).click()
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.NAME, "avatarname"))).send_keys('username')
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.NAME, "password"))).send_keys('password')
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.label-log-in button"))).click()

Imports :

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Now coming to the actual problem:

the xpath that you've been using contains some number dynamic values, Please use the below xpath.

driver.get("https://avatars.imvu.com/qub")
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[starts-with(@id,'grant-badge')]"))).click()

CodePudding user response：

Thank you for the answer. I copied your xpath code but the problem is the same. When i remove the login function it works because the program is not logging in but when i want to use it the claim function is not working.

The error that i'm getting:

File "d:\Programming\Python\IMVU badge colletor\collect.py", line 65, in <module>
    claim()
  File "d:\Programming\Python\IMVU badge colletor\collect.py", line 54, in claim
    wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[starts-with(@id,'grant-badge')]"))).click()
