Clicking a button with Selenium button

Question

I'm trying to click on "Agree" button on this website https://www.soccerstats.com/matches.asp?matchday=1# but it didn't work for me using this code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import time

s=Service("C:/Users/dhias/OneDrive/Bureau/stgg/chromedriver.exe")
driver=webdriver.Chrome(service=s)
driver.get("https://www.soccerstats.com/matches.asp?matchday=1#")
driver.maximize_window()
time.sleep(1)
driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME," css-47sehv").click()

the css-47sehv is the class name of the button and here is a picture of the button The blue button

Answer 1

Try using this

driver.find_element_by_class_name('css-47sehv').click()

on place of

driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME," css-47sehv").click()

Answer 2

You have to make sure of following:

1-use explicitly Wait to wait the button to/Till appear

try:
    element=WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(
        EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "AgreeButton"))
    )
finally:
    driver.quit()

2-Click on the button with correct Xpath:

driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"//button[text()='AGREE']").click()

3-If simple click doesn't work you can use JavaScript and perform methods to click.

Answer 3

Though the element AGREE contains the classname css-47sehv, the value looks dynamic and may change in a short interval or once the application gets restarted.

Solution

To click on the element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:

• Using CSS_SELECTOR:

  driver.get("https://www.soccerstats.com/matches.asp?matchday=1#")
  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[mode='primary']"))).click()
  

• Using XPATH:

  driver.get("https://www.soccerstats.com/matches.asp?matchday=1#")
  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[@mode='primary' and text()='AGREE']"))).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
  

Answer 4

To click on AGREE button use the following xpath to identify the element and click.

//button[text()='AGREE']

Code:

driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"//button[text()='AGREE']").click()

Or Use following css selector.

driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR,"button.css-47sehv").click()
