Python clickable.. Button::Before

Question

How do I posible make this code work.. I am trying to figure it out lately. but my code doesnt seems to work Here is the code that I have tried on Button::before... The send button will on appear when I type or add image.. Sendkey.ENTER doesnt work on the site

THe code I have tried

xpath = '/html/body/div[1]/div/div[1]/div/main/div[1]/div/div/div/div[1]/div/div/div[3]/form/button'

        
        WebDriverWait(self.browser, self.delay).until(
            EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, xpath)))
        send = self.browser.find_element(By.XPATH, value=xpath)
        send.click()

I got this errors

This form of xpath is unreliable and changing it could solve your issue. Assuming "Before" or "Send" is a text written on your button, you could try these xpath:

xpath = "//*[.='Before']"

or

xpath = "//*[.='Send']"

If that doesnt work, inspect your page and look for CSS elements such as ID or class. (To see page code: right-click inspect, to focus on your element right-click inspect again on your element (button)) If you see class or IDs try the following with them as XPath:

xpath = "//*[@id='example-text']"

xpath = "//*[@class='put-your-class-string-here']"

If that doesn't solve the issue, could you share more information about the page element that you try to interact with? Or maybe just the HTML code of the button
