when I click on the button nothing happens, I entered its path through xpath. Below is the page code Image. Can you help me with it

I tried to click on button by xpath

Answer 1

I would use an id for the button instead of xpath. The access on elements via xpath is slow and not so stable as an concret html id like:

<button id="buttonId">
Click me
</button>

Then use By.ID instead of By.XPATH:

driver.find_element(By.ID, "buttonId").click()
