I am using Python and Selenium in order to automate site testing and cant get selenium to submit a form

Question

I have used selenium to navigate the company site and fill out a specific form, but cannot get it to submit the form.

br = webdriver.Firefox()

---

<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg place-order" value="Place Order" 
       ng-disabled="userForm.$invalid || submitted == true" disabled="disabled">

---

//*[@id="errorTop"]/div[5]/div/div[3]/form/div[4]/div[2]/input

Above is the form info as well as the xpath of the form, I have tried the following to capture and click the submit button:

First try

br.find_element_by_css_selector('.btn.btn-primary.btn-lg.place-order').click()

Second try

br.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="errorTop"]/div[5]/div/div[3]/form/div[4]/div[2]/input').click()

Neither of which delivered the desired form submitting click.

Answer 1

Your code is definitely good but your submit button is disabled: disabled="disabled" , which is why you can't click on it.

Make sure it's not disabled before doing .click() .
