Python Selenium: Unable to locate element with id-CodePudding

I'm trying to select a button but I keep getting the error of:

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":"[id="loginbutton"]"}
  (Session info: chrome=103.0.5060.134)

the id of the button is correct, not sure what i'm doing wrong.

I'm running this code

chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.headless = False
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("useAutomationExtension", False)
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches",["enable-automation"])

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

def initializedBrowser():
driver.get("https://www.facebook.com/")
time.sleep(3)
initializedBrowser()

emailelement = driver.find_element(By.ID, 'email')
emailelement.send_keys("testing")

logginButton = driver.find_element(By.ID, 'loginbutton')
logginButton.click()

But i see it exist here in this image

CodePudding user response：

Try:

WebDriverWait(browser, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "loginbutton"))).click()

You will also need the following imports:

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

CodePudding user response：

The desired element is a dynamic element, 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:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button#loginbutton[name='login']"))).click()

Using XPATH:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[@id='loginbutton' and @name='login']"))).click()

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
