I have entered correct from the developer tool xpath still it is not macthing element. How can find the xpath or other locator for google search box.

HTML:

<input id="input" type="search" autocomplete="off" spellcheck="false" role="combobox" ariacontrols="matches" placeholder="Search Google or type a URL" aria-expanded="false" aria-live="polite">

Relative Xpath:

/html/body/ntp-app/div/div[2]/ntp-realbox/div/input

Absolute Xpath:

//*[@id="input"]

I believe you may simply look for the textarea tag, as seen in the Xpath below.

//textarea[@type="search"]

Given the snapshot:

You are trying to locate the search box of the default chrome browser page opened manaually, which won't be available within Selenium driven ChromeDriver initiated Browsing Context

Ideally you should access an url. If you access the url https://www.google.com/ you can locate the search box using the following locator strategy:

  • Code block:

    driver.get("https://www.google.com/")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.NAME, "q"))).send_keys("BRAJESH KUMAR")
