Python Selenium Pressing Button-CodePudding

I am using Selenium to try and press this button, but Selenium complains that it does not exists

<button name="button" type="submit" ><span ><svg  height="24" role="img" width="24"><use href="#icon_content-save"></use></svg><span >Save Database/Server</span></span><span ><span ></span><span >Please wait, saving record...</span></span></button>

Here is the first command

driver.find_element_by_css_selector("button[type=submit]").click()

This is the second

driver.find_element(By.LINK_TEXT, "Save Database/Server").click()

and the third command

driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//a[.//span[text()='Save Database/Server']]").click()

All three error because Selenium says it does not exists. How should I press the submit button?

CodePudding user response：

Your xpath and css selector seems wrong. there is no anchor tag.

It should have been. XPATH:

driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//button[.//span[text()='Save Database/Server']]").click()

Css Selector:

driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR,"button[type='submit']").click()

LINK_TEXT supports only for anchor tag not button tag.

CodePudding user response：

Have you tried using wait and action if not use the below.

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains


time.sleep(5)
driver.find_element_by_xpath("yourxPath").click()


WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "YourXpath"))).click()


time.sleep(5)
button = driver.find_element_by_xpath("YourXpath")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", button)


time.sleep(5)
button = driver.find_element_by_xpath("Xpath")
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(button).click().perform()

CodePudding user response：

Try it may be work

driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", button)

And can you write down the mistake you made?
