Not able to click a link button using selenium gives error element not found exception

Question

I am trying to click on the ARCGIS button on webpage https://gisapr.atco.com/portal/home/signin.html?returnUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fgisapr.atco.com%2Fportal%2Fhome%2F

But getting no element found or timeout errors.

I'm also unable to access inside login form contents but no luck.

Tried:

Implicit and explicit waits
Time sleep()
by all finds..

The element ARCGIS is within an <iframe> so you have to:

Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable.

You can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

Using CSS_SELECTOR:

driver.get('https://gisapr.atco.com/portal/home/signin.html?returnUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fgisapr.atco.com%2Fportal%2Fhome%2F')
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe#oAuthFrame")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a.btn.btn_wide#ago_Name"))).click()

Using XPATH:

driver.get('https://gisapr.atco.com/portal/home/signin.html?returnUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fgisapr.atco.com%2Fportal%2Fhome%2F')
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[@id='oAuthFrame']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[@id='ago_Name' and text()='ArcGIS']"))).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

I have one doubt, how to find the iframe id or name , like in our case you found id=oAuthFrame. — MOHD ALTAF, Feb 10 '21 at 07:42
@MOHDALTAF Open Google Chrome Dev Tool, locate the element through the inspector and traverse up the DOM and check if the element resides within ``or `<frame/>`. If so, you need to switch to the frame first. — undetected Selenium, Feb 10 '21 at 08:24
