How do I click this sign in button using python selenium chrome driver:

Question

I am trying to select and click the sign in button using python selenium chrome driver however I am unsure how to define the button:

<button class="Wizard__AccountActionButton-mlu9la-10 fCdYqg flex justify-center items-center  font-din">Sign in</button>

Answer 1

To click on the element with text as Sign in you can use either of the following Locator Strategies :

• Using css_selector :

   driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button.flex.justify-center.items-center.font-din").click()

• Using xpath :

   driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//a[contains(@class, 'flex justify-center items-center font-din') and text()='Sign in']").click()

---

Ideally, to click on the element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies :

• Using CSS_SELECTOR :

   WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button.flex.justify-center.items-center.font-din"))).click()

• Using XPATH :

   WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[contains(@class, 'flex justify-center items-center font-din') and text()='Sign in']"))).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
