From couple of days I am trying to find out what is the proper XPATH for the button on the website.

enter image description here

This is the html code of the button:

<div class="rc_library_element_name rc_actionable ia-inline-block" href="reporteditor.phtml?.op=3277&amp;.cr=._%21Mqxtjfi_SFjudmo_SWfssuv&amp;.sess=8Otpr5-9Bz_wpGJTXqAEAPTCP7GkYg..&amp;.done=WvKqgMCoA3IAAEf5xL0AAAAK8">Invoice Detail Report</div>

I have tried a few methods, such as:

invoice_detail_report = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '/html/body/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div[5]/div[2]/div[17]/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/div[1]')))

or

invoice_detail_report = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//DIV[@class="rc_library_element_name rc_actionable ia-inline-block"][text()="Invoice Detail Report"]')))

Unfortunately none of these worked out.

Could you please advise what is the proper xpath for that button?

Thank you very much for your help,

Greetings.

You can use this Xpath :

//div[contains(text(),'Invoice Detail Report')]

or 

//div[contains(@href,'reporteditor.phtml')]

or

this cssSelector : 

div[href^='reporteditor.phtml']

To locate the element with text as Invoice Detail Report and invoke click() on it you can use either of the following strategies :

  • Using XPATH with text :

    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[contains(.,'Invoice Detail Report')]"))).click()

  • Using XPATH with attributes :

    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='c_library_element_name rc_actionable ia-inline-block' and contains(@href,'reporteditor.phtml')]"))).click()

  • XPATH using all the attributes :

    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='c_library_element_name rc_actionable ia-inline-block' and contains(@href,'reporteditor.phtml') and contains(.,'Invoice Detail Report')]"))).click()

  • Hi, thank you for your help, however none of these worked out. Each time I receive a TimeoutException error. I have no idea what's going on there. – Bubool May 09 '18 at 09:02
  • `TimeoutException` is the outcome of _expected-conditions_. Debug your code through `time.sleep()` and `findElement()` if you are able to locate the element and update the question with the observations. – undetected Selenium May 09 '18 at 09:05
  • @Bubool Check out my answer update an let me know the status (new xpath added as a forth option) – undetected Selenium May 09 '18 at 09:12
  • After following steps provided by you, now I receive an error "NoSuchElementException", according to which the program was not able to locate the element. That is strange. – Bubool May 09 '18 at 09:13
  • Good progress. Now you you can solve _NoSuchElementException_ easily through the discussion [Selenium “selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException” when using Chrome](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47993443/selenium-selenium-common-exceptions-nosuchelementexception-when-using-chrome/47995294#47995294) – undetected Selenium May 09 '18 at 09:15
  • Alright, I will check out that discussion. By the way the forth option did not help either, however thank you for trying Debanjan – Bubool May 09 '18 at 09:17

    Try to separate steps. First, locate the element. Then click on this element. – Zhivko.Kostadinov May 09 '18 at 09:52
  • @Bubool As `findElement()` padded with `time.sleep()` returned _NoSuchElementException_, _WebDriverWait_ will always return _TimeoutException_. So first and foremost you have to address **NoSuchElementException** which wasn't evident from your question description. – undetected Selenium May 09 '18 at 09:52

    `WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, "Invoice Detail Report"))).click()` This answer is wrong, Link_text can't be used unless it is `` – Rajagopalan May 09 '18 at 11:01
  • I am struggling with addressing the NoSuchElementException, because when I have used the "try and except", it said that "NameError: name 'NoSuchElementException' is not defined. – Bubool May 09 '18 at 11:03
