Question

i am trying to automate some translation through selenium using this url https://www.deepl.com/translator . However I am unable to click on copy button shown in photo here. red marking on button . Inspecting this reveals this html code

<button tabindex="130" _dl-connected="1" _dl-attr="onClick: $0.doCopy" _dl-attr-type="null">
                <svg width="20" height="22" viewBox="0 0 20 22" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
                    <path d="M16.2949 15.7893H8.59364C7.36747 15.7893 6.37793 14.7947 6.37793 13.5623V3.22705C6.37793 1.9946 7.36747 1 8.59364 1H16.3164C17.5425 1 18.5321 1.9946 18.5321 3.22705V13.5839C18.5106 14.7947 17.521 15.7893 16.2949 15.7893Z" stroke-miterlimit="10"></path>

                </svg>
            </button>

Please guide on how to locate this button using both xpath(what should be tag and attribute to be used here) and one other method say css locator. I would be obliged.

The code I used to try and locate the button is:

cpy_btn = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[@id="dl_translator"]/div[1]/div[4]/div[3]/div[4]/div[1]/button')

And later I used

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "(//button[@tabindex='130'])")))

but both didn't work.

The error message I received is: selenium.common.exceptions.ElementClickInterceptedException: Message: Element <button> is not clickable at point (1177,601) because another element <p> obscures it

Answer 1

The desired element is a dynamic element so to click on the element you have 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.deepl.com/translator') WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.lmt__target_toolbar__copy > button"))).click()

• Using XPATH :

   driver.get('https://www.deepl.com/translator') WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='lmt__target_toolbar__copy']/button"))).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

• Browser Snapshot:

Answer 2

You can try 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

Then use:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "(//textarea)[2]"))).click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='lmt__target_toolbar__copy']/button"))).click()

Whith ActionChains:

from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='lmt__target_toolbar__copy']/button")))).click().perform()
