How to identify and click on the Accept All button using Selenium

Question

I want to find out the "Accept All" button xpath for click accept cookies.

Code trials:

from ast import Pass
import time
from selenium import webdriver

driver = driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\Users\Nahid\Desktop\Python_code\Jobsite\chromedriver.exe')  # Optional argument, if not specified will search path.
driver.get('http://jobsite.co.uk/')
driver.maximize_window()
time.sleep(1)
#find out XPath in div tag but there has another span tag 
cookie = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//div[@class="privacy-prompt-button primary-button ccmgt_accept_button "]/span')
cookie.click()

Answer 1

The desired element:

<div id="ccmgt_explicit_accept" class="privacy-prompt-button primary-button ccmgt_accept_button ">
    <span>Accept All</span>
</div>

is a <span> tag having an ancestor <div> .

Solution

To click on the clickable 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, "div.privacy-prompt-button.primary-button.ccmgt_accept_button>span"))).click()

• Using XPATH :

   WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[text()='Accept All']"))).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

Answer 2

Your XPath looks correct but if can be improved.
Also you should use WebDriverWait expected conditions instead of hardcoded sleeps.
As following:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

options = Options()
options.add_argument("--start-maximized")

s = Service('C:\webdrivers\chromedriver.exe')

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, service=s)

url = 'http://jobsite.co.uk/'

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
driver.get(url)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[@id='ccmgt_explicit_accept']"))).click()
