I am trying to press a button with selenium. The page comes up, but it does not press the button. I am new to this, and also the page as a GEO block for any one in the UK. I am using a windows 10 laptop.

This is the code I have so far:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select
import time 
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = r'G:/scraping_practice/chromedriver_win32/chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('https://www.maxpreps.com/tx/basketball/21-22/stat-leaders/scoring/ppg/')

search_button = driver.find_element(By.xpath('/html/body/div[1]/div[4]/div[1]/div/div[2]/div[3]/div/div/ul/li[2]/button'))
search_button.click()

To click on the element with text 2 you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use the following locator strategy:

  • Using XPATH:

    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='controls']//ul/li/button[text()='2']"))).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
