my first time posting. My apologies in advance for any missteps.
I am writing in Python, using Selenium, trying to scrape some information from some webpages.
I can not seem to solve this puzzle after two days of searching-trying-searching.
My issue is this; while trying to sign in to a website w/Selenium/Python, I am unable to 'find element' to log in. After much searching, I realize that I may need to switch frames to find the element. I've tried the switchTo
(or switch_to) command many different ways--and I keep getting the message
"Attribute error: SwitchTo instance has no call method".
I will post the most recent attempt (please let me know if I can provide any further information):
In selenium:
waitUntilReady(browser)
browser.switch_to().frame(browser.findElement(By.ID("iframe[id='credentials']")))
elem = WebDriverWait(browser, 60).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.NAME, "Ecom_User_ID")))
elem = browser.find_element_by_name("Ecom_User_ID")
elem.send_keys("frustrated")
What gets returned (in terminal):
File "someproj.py", line 56, in browser.switch_to().frame(browser.findElement(By.ID("iframe[id='credentials']"))) AttributeError: SwitchTo instance has no call method
html form website:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" webdriver="true">
<head></head>
<body onload="onloadhandler()">
<div class="m-header"></div>
<div class="container">
<div class="header"></div>
<div class="ten columns">

<iframe id="loginsubtab" height="375" frameborder="0" width="100%" src="/nidp/jsp/content.jsp?sid=0&id=289&sid=0" scrolling="no">
#document
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" webdriver="true">

<iframe id="credentials" height="375" frameborder="0" width="100%" src="/nidp/saml2/sso?id=289&sid=0&option=credential&sid=0" scrolling="no">

Many thanks for any ideas or guidance!!!
You are using wrong selector. The selector you are using is cssSelector but NOT id
waitUntilReady(browser)
# or use id as follows
# browser.switch_to.frame(browser.findElement(By.ID, 'credentials'))
#browser.switch_to.frame(browser.find_element_by_id('credentials'))
browser.switch_to.frame(browser.findElement(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "iframe[id='credentials']"))
elem = WebDriverWait(browser, 60).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.NAME, "Ecom_User_ID")))
elem = browser.find_element_by_name("Ecom_User_ID")
elem.send_keys("frustrated")
