Click on button not possible?


I try to click on a button using the following code -

import time
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

if __name__ == '__main__':  
  print(f"Checking Browser driver...")
  options = Options()
  options.add_argument("start-maximized")
  options.add_argument('--log-level=3')  
  options.add_experimental_option("prefs", {"profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications": 1})    
  options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-automation"])
  options.add_experimental_option('excludeSwitches', ['enable-logging'])
  options.add_experimental_option('useAutomationExtension', False)
  options.add_argument('--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled') 
  srv=Service()
  driver = webdriver.Chrome (service=srv, options=options)    
  waitWD = WebDriverWait (driver, 10)         
  
  link = "https://www.arbeitsagentur.de/jobsuche/jobdetail/10001-1000341861-S"
  driver.get (link)     
  time.sleep(3) 
  waitWD.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//button[@class="ba-btn ba-btn-primary"]'))).click()

But when i run this code i get the following error -

(selenium) C:\DEV\Fiverr2024\TRY\ben_hypace>python temp1.py       
Checking Browser driver...

Why is this red button "Alles zulassen" not clicked on this site using selenium?


Solution

  • Why is this red button "Alles zulassen" not clicked on this site using selenium?

    Answer to above is because the targeted element is within shadow-root element.

    Refer below code to handle clicks within shadow-root elements:

    shadow_host = waitWD.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.TAG_NAME, 'bahf-cookie-disclaimer-dpl3')))
    shadow_root = shadow_host.shadow_root
    cookie_button = WebDriverWait(shadow_root, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button.ba-btn.ba-btn-primary")))
    driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", cookie_button)
