How to find the Email Address field within Disneyworld login page to send text using Selenium (Python)

I am writing a simple program to automatically login to my Disney World account. I cannot successfully locate the email address element. I have had success automating other buttons on the Disney World website, but for whatever reason, I can't locate the email address element.

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

login_url = "https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/login?appRedirect=%2F"

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"MY_CHROMEDRIVER_PATH")
driver.get(login_url)

print("Starting...")

try:
    email_input = WebDriverWait(driver, 8).until(
        EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "")) #See below what I've tried on this line

    )
    print("Found element, sending keys...")
    email_input.send_keys("test")
except:
    print("Failed...")
    driver.quit()

I have tried the following with no success:


EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//input\[@type='email'\]"))

EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div\[@id='did-ui-view'\]/div/section/section/form/section/div/div/label/span\[2\]/input"))

EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".ng-valid"))

EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "input-wrapper"))

EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "field-group"))

EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "field field-username-email badgeable"))

I have also tried many other versions of the examples above far too embarrassing to post on here. I have used the inspect element tool and tried everything I could think of. I also downloaded the Selenium IDE Chrome extension to record my keystrokes and find the exact XPATH for the element I was interacting with. I honestly don't know what else to try, which is why I'm posting this question. Any help would be appreciated.

Solution

  • The element with the text as E-Mail Login is 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://disneyworld.disney.go.com/login?appRedirect=%2F')
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe#disneyid-iframe")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input[aria-label='Username or Email Address']"))).send_keys("TheAtypicalNerd")

      • Using XPATH:

        driver.get('https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/login?appRedirect=%2F')
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[@id='disneyid-iframe']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[@aria-label='Username or Email Address']"))).send_keys("TheAtypicalNerd")

    • 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
