How do I click this element using selenium and python?

[jimlipton]

I am trying to automate creating GMX accounts. But i am unable to click this Button.

Selecting the button id 'onetrust-accept-btn-handler' doesn't work, nore does the xpath.

I cant only select one iframe out of 4 and it doesn't seem to be the right one.

Here is my current code. I attempted to use javascript to click the button but that hasn't worked either.

chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
driver = webdriver.Chrome(
    executable_path=r'.\chromedriver.exe', options=chrome_options)

driver.get(url)


#this counts the iframes, and even though the output says '1', their are 3 others I selenium interact with.

time.sleep(5)
seq = driver.find_elements_by_tag_name('iframe')
print("Number of frames present in the web page are: ", len(seq))

iframe = WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(expected_conditions.presence_of_element_located((By.TAG_NAME, 'iframe')))
driver.switch_to.frame(iframe)

element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(expected_conditions.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '/html/body/div/div[3]/div/div/div[2]/div/div/button')))
element.click()
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)

I almost instantly get a selenium.common.exceptions.TimeoutException however, and not a ElementNotInteractableException or NoSuchElementException.

Give him the absolute position of the button. Small delay and then let the mouse move to the position and do a click. Easy and effective.

could you give me an example?

Is that a popup? Because it looks like one.

Because the popup won't show when the page load, any action that interacts with it might not work as planned.

You will have to add a timeout on your script or a checker that verifies if the popup showed and only then proceed with actually interacting with it.

its a pop up on the main page. the button is hidden behind an iframe I cant interact with, which is odd because I have never had this problem before.

Then you must make your script wait for the popup to show up somehow.

that's not the issue, I have tried that obviously.

You can use XPath, if you need help, don't hesitate, I recommended you this website : http://xpather.com/
