<yt-formatted-string id="channel-title" class="style-scope ytd-account-item-renderer">bb1</yt-formatted-string>

below one is a dangerous find element by full x path because the index might change

self.driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/ytd-app/ytd-popup-container/iron-dropdown/div/ytd-multi-page-menu-renderer/div[4]/ytd-multi-page-menu-renderer/div[3]/div[1]/ytd-account-section-list-renderer[1]/div/ytd-account-item-section-renderer/div/ytd-account-item-renderer[4]/paper-icon-item/paper-item-body/yt-formatted-string[1]').click()

To click on the element with text as bb1 you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

  • Using css_selector:

    self.driver.find_element_by_css_selector("yt-formatted-string.style-scope.ytd-account-item-renderer#channel-title").click()

  • Using xpath:

    self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//yt-formatted-string[@class='style-scope ytd-account-item-renderer' and @id='channel-title'][text()='bb1']").click()

Ideally, to click on the element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

  • Using CSS_SELECTOR:

    WebDriverWait(self.driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "yt-formatted-string.style-scope.ytd-account-item-renderer#channel-title"))).click()

  • Using XPATH:

    WebDriverWait(self.driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//yt-formatted-string[@class='style-scope ytd-account-item-renderer' and @id='channel-title'][text()='bb1']"))).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
