Python selenium I can't acess to a linked page on a page with iframe

I want to go from this page to this https://resultats.ffbb.com/organisation/b5e6211d5970.html to this page https://resultats.ffbb.com/championnat/b5e6211f621a.html?r=200000002810394&d=200000002911791&p=2 by clicking on 'Régional féminin U15'. I have tried many solutions but the best I had, is not working systematically. Please coul you help me?

from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
import selenium.webdriver.support.ui as ui
import time

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("https://resultats.ffbb.com/organisation/b5e6211d5970.html")

driver.switch_to.frame("idIframeChampionnat")
#sign_in = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '/html/body/pre/span[93]'))).click();

button = driver.find_element_by_partial_link_text(u"minin U15")
button.click()```
Solution

  • To click() on the link with text as Régional féminin U15 as the elements are within an iframe so you have to:

    • Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.

    • Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable.

    • You can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

      • Using CSS_SELECTOR:

        driver.get("https://resultats.ffbb.com/organisation/b5e6211d5970.html")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe#idIframeChampionnat")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, "Régional féminin U15"))).click()

      • Using XPATH:

        driver.get("https://resultats.ffbb.com/organisation/b5e6211d5970.html")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[@id='idIframeChampionnat']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, "Régional féminin U15"))).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
