如何使用 python 中的 selenium 在 https://in.indeed.com/ 网站中单击继续按钮？

Question

I am trying to write a code that is able to auto apply on job openings on indeed.com. I have managed to reach the last stage, however, the final click on the application form is giving me a lot of trouble. Please refer the page as below

Once logged in to my profile, I go to the relevant search page, click on the listing I am interested in and then on the final page (shown above) I am trying to click on the continue button using xpath. For the previous step (also a page on the same form), the form had multiple iframes which I was able to switch successfully. Now for the current page, I am stuck as the click function does not do anything. I have written the following code:

driver.get("https://in.indeed.com/jobs?q=data%20analyst&l=Delhi&vjk=5c0bd416675cf4e5")
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="apply-button-container"]/div[1]/span[1]').click()
time.sleep(5)
frame_1 = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('iframe[title="Job application form container"')
driver.switch_to.frame(frame_1)
frame_2 = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('iframe[title="Job application form"]')
driver.switch_to.frame(frame_2)
continue_btn = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('#form-action-continue')
continue_btn.click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="form-action-continue"]').click() 

I have tried switching the iframes again for this step but nothing happens. Even the.click() function does not do anything.

Will appreciate some help on this.

The element Continue is within nested <iframe> elements so you have to:

• Induce WebDriverWait for the parent frame to be available and switch to it .

• Induce WebDriverWait for the child frame to be available and switch to it .

• Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable .

• You can use either of the following Locator Strategies :

  • Using CSS_SELECTOR :

     driver.get("https://in.indeed.com/jobs?q=data%20analyst&l=Delhi&vjk=5c0bd416675cf4e5") WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "span.indeed-apply-button-label"))).click() WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe[id^='indeedapply-modal-preload']"))) WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe[title='Job application form']"))) WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button#form-action-continue"))).click()

  • Using XPATH :

     driver.get("https://in.indeed.com/jobs?q=data%20analyst&l=Delhi&vjk=5c0bd416675cf4e5") WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[@class='indeed-apply-button-label']"))).click() WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[starts-with(@id, 'indeedapply-modal-preload')]"))) WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[@title='Job application form']"))) WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[@id='form-action-continue']"))).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
