Here is my Code but the webdriver cant locate the element or can't click on it.

sold = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
                    EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//span[@class, 'vi-txt-underline']")))
sold.click()

Answer 1

You were close enough. But you have to make to adjustments:

• Instead of (By.XPATH, "//span[@class, 'vi-txt-underline']") you need to use (By.XPATH, "//span[@class='vi-txt-underline']")
• Instead of presence_of_element_located() you need to use element_to_be_clickable()

Solution

To click on the element with text as 23 verkauft you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

• Using LINK_TEXT:

  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, "23 verkauft"))).click()
  

• Using CSS_SELECTOR:

  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a.vi-txt-underline"))).click()
  

• Using XPATH:

  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[text()='23 verkauft']"))).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
