How to click on the reCAPTCHA using Selenium and Java

Why am I getting errors when trying to get the driver to click on the reCAPTCHA button?

This is the site where I am trying to get it to work: https://rsps100.com/vote/760/

This is my current code so far:

WebElement iframeSwitch = driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[1]/div/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div/form/div/div/div/div/iframe"));
driver.switchTo().frame(iframeSwitch);
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div[class=recaptcha-checkbox-checkmark]")).click();
Solution

  • To invoke click() on the reCaptcha checkbox as the element is within an <iframe> you need to:

    • Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt.
    • Induce WebDriverWait for the desired elementToBeClickable.

    • You can use the following solution:

      • Code Block:

        public class ReCaptcha_click {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe");
        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.addArguments("start-maximized");
        options.addArguments("disable-infobars");
        options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
        driver.get("https://rsps100.com/vote/760");
        new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.xpath("//iframe[starts-with(@name, 'a-') and starts-with(@src, 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha')]")));
        new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("div.recaptcha-checkbox-checkmark"))).click();
    }
}
