无法使用 Selenium Python 定位元素

Question

I am trying to click on an option from a menu using selenium with Python and I can't seem to get it to work. Below is the HTML code. I have tried Action Chains with move_to_element(menu).click(submenu) where menu is the boardMenu-content and submenu is the boardMenu-reports... and that didn't work.

<div class="boardMenu" tabindex="0">
  <div class="boardMenu-content">
    <button class="boardMenu-reports boardMenu-item boardMenu-itemButton">
      <i class="icons-reports boardMenu-icon"></i>
      Reports
    </button>
  

I tried chaining the actions together like:

board = driver.find_element_by_class_name("boardMenu")
menu = driver.find_element_by_class_name("boardMenu-content")
rep = driver.find_element_by_class_name("boardMenu-reports boardMenu-item boardMenu-itemButton")
actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.move_to_element(board)
actions.move_to_element(menu)
actions.click(rep)
actions.perform()

but when I tried that I get the error that it can't find the element for rep . I also don't understand though why it is running rep in its line as apposed to in actions.click(rep) I have also deleted the chain action section and just run them one at a time with time.sleep(3) to give it all time to load and whatnot. Still get the error that it is unable to locate element.

So to solve this I learned something new about Inspect Element. I would right click on the section I want then hit copy and choose xpath and use that with Selenium. Maybe that is a well known technique to use but it was certainly new to me.
