To click on the desired comment with text as https://julissars.itworks.com within the url you need to induce WebDriverwait for the element to be clickable and you can use either of the following solution:

  • Using PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT:

    WebDriverWait(browser, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, "julissars"))).click()

  • Using CSS_SELECTOR:

    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a.yt-simple-endpoint.style-scope.yt-formatted-string[href*='julissars']"))).click()

  • Using XPATH:

    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[@class='yt-simple-endpoint style-scope yt-formatted-string' and contains(., 'julissars')]"))).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
