Build XPATH expression to get and click button element

Question

I'm building a scraper with selenium, and I got it up and running except for one data field I'm missing. I need to first push a button, then get the value. But I haven't been able to push the button, because I can't seem to build the correct xpath expression to get it with selenium,

The url is this one: https://www.ikea.com/mx/es/p/kallax-estante-blanco-80275887/

And I need to click the button "Medidas" (scroll halfway through the page, right between "Detalles del producto" and "Productos similares") to open a side panel and get the info I need. But so far, I haven't been able to set the correct XPATH expression for the button.

I tried with

driver.find_element_by_xpath(
     "//button[@class='range-revamp-chunky-header']"
 ).click()

But this way it clicked the first button ("Detalles del producto")

Also tried with something like

driver.find_element_by_xpath(
     "//button[@class='range-revamp-chunky-header' AND @text='Medidas']"
 ).click()

But I haven't been able to make it work, I just got this error:

Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//button[@class='range-revamp-chunky-header' and @text='Medidas']"}

By the way, the list of buttons is dynamic... sometimes, there can be 1, 2, 3 or 4 buttons with the same class, only difference I can see is the text of the button, so getting always the 2nd button with that class (like in the URL provided) won't always work.

Answer 1

To click on the element with text as Medidas you can use the following Locator Strategy:

• Using xpath:

  driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//span[text()='Medidas']").click()
  

---

Ideally you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategy:

• Using XPATH:

  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//*[contains(., 'login or register')]"))).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
