Login and Logout of LinkedIn using Selenium-CodePudding

I wish to write a program that Logs in and Logs out of LinkedIn in python using Selenium.

I have been able to achieve the Login feature but I cannot really understand how to Log out. I tried to find a solution but best I could reach is

Can someone help me out please?

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:/Users/Asus/Desktop/Project_Exhibition II/Project_Exhibition_2/chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://www.linkedin.com/login?fromSignIn=true&trk=guest_homepage-basic_nav-header-signin")
time.sleep(5)

username = driver.find_element(By.ID, "username")
username.send_keys("[email protected]")
pword = driver.find_element(By.ID, "password")
pword.send_keys("password\n")

time.sleep(15)

dropdownButton = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'global-nav__primary-link')
dropdownButton.click()
signoutButton = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@href="/m/logout/"]')
signoutButton.click()

driver.quit()

It Logs in fine but then abruptly closes the browser.

CodePudding user response：

The logout button just redirects you to "/m/logout".

'//*[@href="/m/logout/"]'

So you can just run:

driver.get("https://linkedin.com/m/logout")

CodePudding user response：

It was a little bit trickie... You need to wait for elements to become clickable and to find the correct locators there.
The following code works

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

options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")

webdriver_service = Service('C:\webdrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, service=webdriver_service)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)

url = "https://www.linkedin.com/login?fromSignIn=true&trk=guest_homepage-basic_nav-header-signin/"
driver.get(url)

wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "username"))).send_keys("[email protected]")
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "password"))).send_keys("MyPassword")
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "[data-litms-control-urn='login-submit']"))).click()
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[contains(@class,'global-nav__primary-link')][contains(.,'Me')]"))).click()
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a[href*='logout']"))).click()
