I have an "onclick" element in a webpage whose HTML reads as follows:
<a href="#" onclick="blah.submit()">Text 1</a>
I am trying to use selenium to click on this element. I tried the following code (including an implicit wait)
import time
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get(webpage);
driver.implicitly_wait(5)
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[@onclick='blah.submit()']").click()
However, it returned a NoSuchElementException
NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element:
{"method":"xpath","selector":"//a[@onclick='blah.submit()']"}
I then tried using WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get(webpage);
button = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH,
"//a[@onclick='blah.submit()']")))
button.click()
However, this still didn't work and returned the following error:
TimeoutException: Message:
Does anyone know what's going wrong? Thanks in advance.
