Send Keys Not Working In Selenium With Python?

Question

I am trying to send keys to an element but it is not working.

Element looks like this. Unable to send keys to all three.

Below is the code:

input id="creditCardNumber" name="creditCardNumber" type="tel" tabindex="1" data-shortname="cc" maxlength="24" class="cc-input ncss-input pt2-sm prl4-sm prl5-md pb2-sm" placeholder="Number" onautocomplete="off" value=""

I was using this to send keys:

driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="creditCardNumber"]').send_keys('0000')

driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[@placeholder="Number"]').send_keys('0000')

Gives me an error as if element is not available, although I use a long enough time.sleep.

Error Received:

driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[@placeholder="Number"]').send_keys('0000') File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 293, in find_element_by_xpath return self.find_element(by=By.XPATH, value=xpath) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 752, in find_element 'value': value})['value'] File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 236, in execute self.error_handler.check_response(response) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/errorhandler.py", line 192, in check_response raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace) selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//input[@placeholder="Number"]"}

Please read why a screenshot of HTML or code or error is a bad idea. Consider updating the Question with formatted text based relevant HTML, code trials and error stack trace. — undetected Selenium

can you paste the traceback? what exact error are you getting — Satish Michael

can you place a explicit wait before finding the element and then try again selenium-python.readthedocs.io/waits.html — Satish Michael

I signed up for nike to look up the creditCardNumber field, it is under an iframe tag. Switch to that iframe and then search for the element

<iframe sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin" class="credit-card-iframe mt1 u-full-width" src="https://paymentcc.nike.com/services?id=0971b459-934f-4c0e-bdd1-6b5808a77eb1" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

Code:

driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element_by_css_selector('iframe[class="credit-card-iframe mt1 u-full-width"]'))
driver.find_element_by_id('creditCardNumber').send_keys('0000')

let me know if this works
