How to select this element in Selenium (python)

Question

Update: here's a screenshot of the frame I'm having trouble switching to: frame that cannot be located

I've tried selecting this element multiple different ways but always get the "unable to locate" error.

I can easily locate elements on most pages but I suspect this html requires an extra step or two to get at the link.

Here's the html--the link is in the 3rd line:

<div class="menu_bg">
    <ul class="menu">
        <li id="retrieve"><a href="https://s1.ebridge.com/ebridge/3.0/retrieve/search.aspx?search=new&amp;guid=4ae139ed-287a-4087-8fe0-56ff3683e160" id="aView" onclick="clickme(this,'retrieve')" target="main">Retrieve</a></li>
        <li id="help"><a id="aSupport" onclick="clickme(this,'reports')" target="main" href="Support/support_main.aspx?guid=4ae139ed-287a-4087-8fe0-56ff3683e160">Support</a></li>
        <li style="float: right;">
            <span id="cabnm" class="cabinet_box">PinCHD</span>
        </li>
    </ul>
</div>

This element is on a page behind a login page here which I have no problem logging into using the following code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import re
import pandas as pd
import os
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
url = "https://s1.ebridge.com/ebridge/3.0/default.aspx?1"
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path="/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/11/bin/geckodriver")
driver.implicitly_wait(30)
driver.get(url)
username = driver.find_element_by_name("tbUserName")
username.clear()
username.send_keys("public")
password = driver.find_element_by_name("tbPassword")
password.clear()
password.send_keys("public")
file_cabinet = driver.find_element_by_name("tbFileCabinet")
file_cabinet.clear()
file_cabinet.send_keys("PINCHD")
file_cabinet.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

After this runs, the page that contains the link I'm having trouble locating loads. I've tried finding by id, xpath, css selector, link text, and partial link text without success.

I'm hoping someone can look at the html at the top of my question and tell me how they'd go about locating the link in the third line so that I can then issue a click() on it.

Answer 1

The element you are looking for is inside a frame, so first you need to switch to that frame and then search for the element like this.

driver.switch_to.frame('header')  #Match by name of the frame
my_element = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="aView"]')
my_element.click()

Answering my own question here:

The problem was with the Firefox (geckodriver) webdriver. I encountered no issues when using the Chrome driver.
