Use css selector to click.

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".btn.btn-link")).click();

It's working! but the class btn btn-link is not unique is it possible to use the aria-label tag for it using CSS Selector? – Mads Cruz Dec 18 '18 at 07:25

To click on the desired element you can use the following solution:

css:

findLink(By.css("button.btn.btn-link[aria-label='Dashlet Actions']")).click

XPath:

findLink(By.xpath("//button[@class='btn btn-link' and @aria-label='Dashlet Actions']")).click

Note: The element is an Angular element so you have to induce ExplicitWait for the desired element to be clickable

would like to ask if there is a possibility for a screenshot script in selenium? – Mads Cruz Dec 18 '18 at 07:37
Of coarse it is possible to rite a screenshot script. But as it would be a different topic you may need to raise a new question with your new requirement. StackOverflow contributors will be happy to help you out. – undetected Selenium Dec 18 '18 at 07:47
