Click a dropdown search result item at random location in the dropdown result python selenium library

I have been trying my head around to select the searched elements in the screenshot below. I tried the below methods none of them seems to be able to find the dropdown searched results elements.

Following methods I have tried so far using selenium python library.

    span_class="Roboto--ezzN4 text-5--NzQT7"
    tag_name = "aria-label"
    drop_down_tag_result = driver.find_element(by="class name", value=span_class)
    drop_down_tag_result = driver.find_element(by="tag name", value=tag_name)    
    
    drop_down_result = driver.find_element(by="xpath", value="//div[text()="+"'"+brand_name+"'"+"]")
    drop_down_result.click()

All of above three methods can't locate the element and getting similar error below.

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":".Roboto--ezzN4 text-5--NzQT7"}
  (Session info: chrome=120.0.6099.109);

Can anyone help me guide in the right direction? I am new to selenium.

Solution

  • There might possibility of synchronization issue. use explicit wait before interacting the element with expected condition see the example here --> Waits

    Please change the xpath to identify the element uniquely.

    drop_down_result = driver.find_element(by="xpath", value="//span[text()='" + brand_name + "']")

    or

    drop_down_result = driver.find_element(by="xpath", value="//div[@aria-label='" + brand_name + "']")
