Selenium VBA - Click on a Download Button

Question

I'm new with selenium vba and I'm trying to click on a download button, this button is inside a kind of pdf iFrame:

Here is some HTML:

<cr-icon-button id="download" iron-icon="cr:file-download" aria-label="Fazer o download" title="Fazer o download" aria-haspopup="false" aria-disabled="false" role="button" tabindex="0"></cr-icon-button>

and here is what I tryed so far:

 1 : ChromoLink.FindElement(By.linktext("Fazer o Download")).Click
 2 : ChromoLink.FindElementByLinkText("Fazer o Download").Click
 3 :ChromoLink.FindElementsByCss("input")(1).Click
 4: ChromoLink.FindElementByClass("toolbarButton download hiddenMediumView").Click
 5: ChromoLink.FindElementById("download").Click
 6: ChromoLink.FindElementByXPath("/html/body/pdf-viewer//viewer-toolbar//div/div[3]/viewer-download-controls//cr-icon-button//div/iron-icon").Click
 7: ChromoLink.FindElementByXPath("/html/body/pdf-viewer//viewer-toolbar//div/div[3]/viewer-download-controls//cr-icon-button//div/iron-icon").ClickAndHold
 8: ChromoLink.FindElementByXPath("/html/body/pdf-viewer//viewer-toolbar//div/div[3]/viewer-download-controls//cr-icon-button//div/iron-icon").Click
 9: ChromoLink.FindElementByXPath("//*[@id=""download""]").ClickAndHold
10: ChromoLink.FindElementByCss("[title='baixar']").Click

None of those worked

Error:

I know that print it's not a good idea, but I'm not able to just copy the whole html:

For better help, Can you share the site link on which you are performing these actions? — Gurmanjot Singh, Dec 27 '21 at 08:07
@GurmanjotSingh it's a internal website, so I'm not able to share the link. But, I added a picture. — Pedro, Dec 28 '21 at 01:06

To click() on the element first you have to switch to the iframe and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

FindElementsByCss:

ChromoLink.SwitchToFrame "iFrameReport"
ChromoLink.FindElementByCss("cr-icon-button#download[title='Fazer o download'][aria-label='Fazer o download']").Click

FindElementByXPath relative to Claims:

ChromoLink.SwitchToFrame "iFrameReport"
ChromoLink.FindElementByXPath("//cr-icon-button[@id='download' and @title='Fazer o download'][@aria-label='Fazer o download']").Click

It's not working yet, I realize that the element is inside a iFrame and the name of the iFrame is id="iFrameReport" so, I SwitchToFrame but response and give me a arror. – Pedro Dec 26 '21 at 23:23

@Pedro Added the code for frame switching. Let me know the status. – undetected Selenium Dec 27 '21 at 15:20
After frame switching by FindElementsByCss or FindElementByXPath it reports that "element was not found". – Pedro Dec 28 '21 at 12:24
@Pedro Induce some wait between the two lines – undetected Selenium Dec 28 '21 at 13:00
I was already using some wait between switching the frame and find the element, perhaps that it's not reaching the element. – Pedro Dec 28 '21 at 16:50
