How to click on the Close icon of the popup as per the url provided through Selenium

Question

I'm trying to get rid of the pop-up window showing up when first visiting this page: https://www.realestate.com.kh/buy/?listing_type=sale&categories=Condo&order_by=relevance&is_certified=1&private_seller=1#page-10

According to the html code, the id of the "x" element which I'd like Selenium to "click" is "leadpages-close-button"

So I'm trying to click on it with this code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

driver = webdriver.Safari()
driver.get("https://www.realestate.com.kh/buy/?listing_type=sale&categories=Condo&order_by=relevance&is_certified=1&private_seller=1#page-10")
driver.find_element_by_id("leadpages-close-button").close()

But it results in an error:

  File "Untitled.py", line 6, in <module>
    driver.find_element_by_id("leadpages-close-button")
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 359, in find_element_by_id
    return self.find_element(by=By.ID, value=id_)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 966, in find_element
    'value': value})['value']
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 320, in execute
    self.error_handler.check_response(response)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/errorhandler.py", line 242, in check_response
    raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message:

What am I doing wrong?

have you tried waiting for the element to appear before clicking on it? — Bryan Oakley, Aug 30 '18 at 19:10
I visit the page for the first time in different browsers and there was no popup — Sers, Aug 30 '18 at 19:56
You can't see the screaming man like on the image above? How strange... — Lucien S., Aug 30 '18 at 20:00

That element is contained in an iframe so you will have to switch to iframe first. Try:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

driver = webdriver.Safari()
driver.get("https://www.realestate.com.kh/buy/?listing_type=sale&categories=Condo&order_by=relevance&is_certified=1&private_seller=1#page-1")
WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it(driver.find_element_by_tag_name("iframe")))
#driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element_by_tag_name("iframe")) # OR driver.switch_to.frame(0) # switch by iframe index
WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(driver.find_element_by_id("leadpages-close-button")))
driver.find_element_by_id("leadpages-close-button").click()
driver.switch_to.default_content()

Strangely, this doesn't seem to work (no error message, but the iframe doesn't go away). Is there something I'm missing regarding the id of the iframe, maybe? – Lucien S. Aug 30 '18 at 19:34

@Rodolphe , this is because iframe is generated dynamically. Check [how to handle dynamic frame](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7534622/selecting-an-iframe-using-python-selenium/48729644#48729644) – Andersson Aug 30 '18 at 19:41
Have you tried your solution as is @theGuy? I can't make it work for me... – Lucien S. Aug 30 '18 at 20:32
it does work for me, however I noticed iframe disappears from the screen if I use url with 'page-10' at the end. I was trying with 'page-1' at the end and it worked fine for me. Don't forget to add wait time as Andersson suggested. I will update my answer with what I tried. Another thing to note, I have tried it in Firefox not Safari, you may have check wait time if its still not working for you. – theGuy Aug 31 '18 at 13:57

Try below code to switch to dynamic iframe and click on Close button

from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait as wait

driver.get("https://www.realestate.com.kh/buy/?listing_type=sale&categories=Condo&order_by=relevance&is_certified=1&private_seller=1#page-10")
wait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it(driver.find_element_by_tag_name("iframe")))
driver.find_element_by_id("leadpages-close-button").click()

Still no luck. As soon as the page is loaded, it closes (when using 1 instead of 10 after "page=", it closes almost instantly). Might this have something to do with the fact that I'm using Safari? – Lucien S. Aug 30 '18 at 21:23
Can you clarify little more: what *closes*: that frame with screaming man, main page, script? Share exception log – Andersson Aug 31 '18 at 05:14

To close the pop-up window showing up when first visiting the url https://www.realestate.com.kh/buy/?listing_type=sale&categories=Condo&order_by=relevance&is_certified=1&private_seller=1#page-10 as the popup is within an <iframe>:

First you have to induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it
Next you have to induce WebDriverWait again for the desired element to be clickable
Finally invoke click() on the desired element.

Code Block:

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

options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_argument("disable-infobars")
options.add_argument("--disable-extensions") 
driver=webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("https://www.realestate.com.kh/buy/?listing_type=sale&categories=Condo&order_by=relevance&is_certified=1&private_seller=1#page-10")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH, "//iframe[contains(@src,'https://realestatekh.lpages.co/leadbox')]")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//form[contains(@action,'https://realestatekh.activehosted.com/proc.php')]/a[@id='leadpages-close-button']"))).click()

this is not guaranteed to work. It might not sleep long enough, or it might sleep too long. There are selenium functions explicitly for waiting. – Bryan Oakley Aug 30 '18 at 19:24
