I am learning Selenium and trying to click the GO button:
https://speedtest.telstra.com/
<button class="button background-primary-hover text-primary" aria-label="start your speedtest">
<span style="font-size: unset; overflow-wrap: unset;">GO</span></button>
What are all possible Selenium methods to get that button clicked,
elem = driver.find_element_by_....???
I also would like to see what I found, so should print(elem.text) then be used?
As per the website https://speedtest.telstra.com/ the desired element is within an <iframe> so you need to induce WebDriverWait to switch to the <iframe> and then look out for the element and you can use the following solution:
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[@class='speed-test' and @src='//telstra-nbn.speedtestcustom.com']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[@class='button background-primary-hover text-primary']/span[contains(.,'GO')]"))).click()
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"//iframe.speed-test[src*='speedtestcustom']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button.button.background-primary-hover.text-primary[aria-label='start your speedtest']>span"))).click()
Note : You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
WebDriverWait this efficient. I learned a lot from this answer. Thanks.
You have to use xpath, there is xpath helper tool for chrome. You can install it.
button = driver.find_element_by_xpath("your xpath")
button.click()
Try this:
browser.find_element_by_class_name("button background-primary-hover text-primary").click()
Since it will select the element and click it.
