ElementNotVisibleException: Message: element not i

I have a page with source code like the code below. In it after I take an action an “Undo” and a “Close” button appear. I’m trying to click the “Close” button. I’ve tried all three of the chunks of code below, none are working. Can someone please point out what I’m doing wrong, or suggest something else to try?

html source:

<div class="_3Aslx7L3GVI4XM7PUyYKza action-bar"><div class="container"><i class="success-icon fontello-ok-circle"></i><div class="success-message">Your stuff is going to <span>place</span> is on its way.</div><div class="gh69ID1m3_xtdTUQuwadU"><button class="c-button c-button--gray"> Undo</button></div><div class="gh69ID1m3_xtdTUQuwadU"><button class="c-button c-button--blue"> Close</button></div></div></div>

code attempts:

#driver.find_element_by_id("gh69ID1m3_xtdTUQuwadU").click()
driver.find_element_by_css_selector('.c-button.c-button--blue').click()
#driver.find_element_by_link_text('Close').click()

error:

回答1:

The element with text as Close is a dynamic element so to locate the element you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element to be clickable and you can use either of the following solutions:

Using CSS_SELECTOR:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.action-bar button.c-button.c-button--blue"))).click()

Using XPATH:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[contains(@class, 'action-bar')]//button[@class='c-button c-button--blue' and normalize-space()='Close']"))).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

回答2:

Try using XPATHs and Action class for this kind of scenarios.

BTN_xpath = //*[contains(@class, 'c-button--blue')]
WebElement btn = driver.find_element_by_xpath(BTN_xpath);
Actions ac = new Actions(driver);
ac.click(btn).build().perform();

Also, if you are using the Firefox browser, there could be issues where its not able to interact with elements that were not visible before in the page. So, try checking a with a different browser as well.
