How to click on cookie popup using webdriver chrome to access the actual webpage-CodePudding

I am struggling to make selenium click on the cookie popup and access the website.

I have the following code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import pandas as pd
from datetime import datetime
import os
import sys


web = 'https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/'
path = '/Users/cc/Documents/Documents/IT/1. Python/WebCrawler/chromedriver'

driver_service = Service(executable_path=path)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=driver_service)
driver.get(web)
WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,'//*.[@id="notice"]/div[4]/button[2]'))).click()

here is the webpage:

CodePudding user response：

To click on the element Fine By Me! 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[title='Fine By Me!'][aria-label='Fine By Me!']"))).click()

Using XPATH:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[@title='Fine By Me!' and @aria-label='Fine By Me!']"))).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
