How to close popover/popup by <a> element using Selenium

I'm working on a webscraper for https://www.grailed.com/designers/jordan-brand/hi-top-sneakers. When the page has opened a popup for login comes up. Searching through the web design I can locate the X element to close the browser like so: temp = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ec.visibility_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, 'close'))). If I go more into this there is an and element. I have tried using .click() on the element (with class 'close'), as well as the SVG and path elements. None of these close the box, and there is no button or other element of this kind for the X. What can I do to close this popover? I'm not sure if I need to find a button-ish element to click, but I can't find one like that. I've looked at a couple of questions and articles (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61923909/trying-to-close-popover-python-selenium-glassdoor, https://sqa.stackexchange.com/questions/5310/how-to-close-pop-up-window-in-selenium-webdriver, https://saucelabs.com/resources/articles/the-selenium-click-command) but can't find a solution.

Solution

  • You can do double click with actions for resolving this problem

    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ec.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, 
   '//a[@class = 'close']/*[name()='svg']')))

close =  driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[@class = 'close']/*[name()='svg']")

actionChains = ActionChains(driver)
actionChains.double_click(close).perform()

    And the Java code for this:

    new WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
                .until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//a[@class = 'close']/*[name()='svg']")));

WebElement close = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@class = 'close']/*[name()='svg']"));

Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.doubleClick(close).build().perform();
