Wait for and then click an item?

Question

So I would like to wait for a pop-up and then click Accept. HTML looks like this:

<div class="termsBtn" onclick="checkTerms(0)" style="background-color:#dd4a42">Decline</div>

<div class="termsBtn" onclick="checkTerms(1)" style="background-color:#a6dd42">Accept</div>

I have tried all sorts, but for this current code I am getting a TimeoutException:

selenium.common.exceptions.TimeoutException: Message:

My current code:

from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as ec


wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
popup = wait.until(ec.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//input[@onclick="checkTerms(1)"]')))
popup.click()

Please post the full exception message. – Mate Mrše Sep 17 '19 at 13:15 — Mate Mrše, Sep 17 '19 at 13:15

There is no input tag of your element it is a div tag.Try below xpath.

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
popup = wait.until(ec.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//div[@class="termsBtn"][text()="Accept"]')))
popup.click()

You can use ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated, it will wait till the element not visible

As the desired element is within a popup so to click() on the element you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following solutions:

Using CSS_SELECTOR:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.termsBtn[onclick*='1']"))).click()

Using XPATH:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='termsBtn' and text()='Accept']"))).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
