How to find button element with selenium webdriver?

Question

I have the following code for a button:

   <div class="header__login">
        <button class="header__login-btn"> Login or Sign Up</button>
   </div>

I have tried:

await driver.findElement(By.css('button.header__login-btn')).click();
await driver.findElement(By.className('header__login-btn')).click();

Neither of these works. It did not find the button.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get this to work?

Answer 1

Try using

await driver.findElement(By.cssSelector('button.header__login-btn')).click();

instead of

await driver.findElement(By.css('button.header__login-btn')).click();
