HTML:

<button aria-expanded="false" class="pv-profile-section__see-more-inline link" data-ember-action data-ember-action-2611="2611">

Python:

 buttons = browser.find_elements_by_xpath(u'//button[@class="pv-profile-section__see-more-inline link"]')
    print(buttons)
    for degree in buttons:
        degree.click()

there are two button with the same tag written above but it does not access any of them. It just print the empty list.

Have you used any implicit wait? Are you sure about the xpath? – santhosh kumar Aug 29 '17 at 07:19
yeah i wait till the page is full loaded but still not working – Hamza Ahmed Aug 29 '17 at 07:22
I don't see any issues in the code. The first trouble shoot is the implicit time and next is the xpath. Since, you have mentioned you have waited, can you cross verify the xpath again?. Also give us the complete html dom – santhosh kumar Aug 29 '17 at 07:25

i've checked the path several time still not get it :( – Hamza Ahmed Aug 29 '17 at 07:28
Ahmad in the html you have provided, there are only open tags and no close tags. Can you give the html dom of the complete page highlighting both the elements that needs to be identified? – santhosh kumar Aug 29 '17 at 07:30
… there is only some text and this span tag in button – Hamza Ahmed Aug 29 '17 at 07:33

Can you please update your question to the exact HTML code (along with the span elements), rather than the comments, so that the question looks more clear. – SajidSalim Aug 29 '17 at 07:36
i already type that in comment – Hamza Ahmed Aug 29 '17 at 07:40
try (//button[@class="pv-profile-section__see-more-inline link"])[1] – Shubham Jain Aug 29 '17 at 07:42
index out of range! – Hamza Ahmed Aug 29 '17 at 07:47
Add the screenshot of HTML tab in Developer Tools, with the buttons highlighted – Tarun Lalwani Aug 29 '17 at 07:57
