Can't Click on Span Link using Selinium Webdriver

Question

Can't click on the download link using Selinium Webdriver

I'm trying to automate my weekly anime routes using python

from selenium import Webdriver
import time


dr = webdriver.Chrome()
time.sleep(3)
dr.get('https://horriblesubs.info/shows/one-punch-man-s2')
time.sleep(1)
link=dr.find_element_by_class_name("rls-info-container").click()
time.sleep(3)
blink=dr.find_element_by_xpath("//span[@class='dl_type hs-magnet-link']").click()
time.sleep(6)
dr.quit()

This is the error i get

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Hey\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Scripts\get-ShieldHero.py", line 16, in <module>

I want to click on the 480 link, but I can't with the above code

I've attempted other variations where I try and inspect the html block, but I've been unsuccessful.

It's `dl-type` not `dl_type`. Why don't you use a simple CSS selector for your second finder, too? It's as simple as `"".dl-type.hs-magnet-link""`. — Jochen Reinhardt, May 31 '19 at 14:23

To click() on the link with text as Magnet for the item One Punch Man S2 you need to click the <a> node within the <span> node and you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element to be clickable and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

Using XPATH:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[contains(., 'One Punch Man S2')]//following::span[@class='dl-type hs-magnet-link']/a"))).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
