I have a button on a website built with sencha/extjs. Currently the button id is savebutton-1550-btnEl, but this changes everytime the page is loaded. I know that the button is disabled, but for testing purposes, I'd like to set this button as enabled, and then click it.

How would I go about finding this element each time, and then disabling it and clicking it with Java Selenium?

I'm guessing I'll have to execute some javascript, but I'm having a hard time finding the target for the javascript.

To locate the element you will have to use part of the DOM surrounding the element as a unique locator. It is impossible to give a more specific answer without seeing the DOM you are working on, but you may try something like:

WebElement saveButton = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[text()='Save']");

For changing the element to enabled, take a look at this answer: Selenium Webdriver - click on hidden elements

Also a longer term solution might be to work with development to see if they can build in a unique locator especially since this probably wont be the only object that you have problems with. At my company we use the "class" field to uniquely identify objects in extjs.

I override the the class "AbstractComponent": 

Ext.define('Foo.overrides.AbstractComponent', {
    override: 'Ext.AbstractComponent',

    onBoxReady: function () {
      var me = this;
      var el = me.getEl();

      if (el && el.dom && me.itemId) {
        el.dom.setAttribute('data-test', me.itemId);
      }
      me.callOverridden(arguments);
    }
  });

If you set in configuation of the button the "itemId", you can be accessed the button via seleniumas follows:

IWebElement element = webDriver.FindElement(By.XPath($"//*[@data-test='{itemId}']"));
