selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":".ui flu~"}

Question

This is the code I use:

import requests as r, sys as sus, bs4 as bs, webbrowser as wb
from selenium import webdriver as wd

dr = wd.Chrome()

b = r.get("https://uupdump.net/fetchupd.php?arch=amd64&ring=wif&build=latest").text
s = bs.BeautifulSoup(b, features="html.parser")

if "/selectlang.php?id=" in b:
    l = b.split("/selectlang.php?id=")[1].split('"')[0]
    u = f"https://uupdump.net/download.php?id={l}&pack=es-es&edition=professional"
    print(u)
    b = r.get(u).text
    s = bs.BeautifulSoup(b, features="html.parser")
    print(s)
    dr.get(u)
    b = dr.find_element_by_class_name('ui fluid right labeled icon primary button')

And this is the error:

uupdump.py:17: DeprecationWarning: find_element_by_* commands are deprecated. Please use find_element() instead
  b = dr.find_element_by_class_name('ui fluid right labeled icon primary button')

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":".ui fluid right labeled icon primary button"}

I want to use Selenium to find a button by its class name from uupdump.net, to download the latest version zip file.

As per the HTML:

To identify the clickable element with text as Create download package you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

• Using xpath:

  b = dr.find_element(By.XPATH, "//button[@class='ui fluid right labeled icon primary button' and contains(., 'Create download package')]")
  

Ideally to click on the element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

• Using XPATH:

  b = WebDriverWait(dr, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[@class='ui fluid right labeled icon primary button' and contains(., 'Create download package')]")))
  

• 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
