Improve Article Save Article View Discussion Improve Article Save Article Selenium is a tool that provides APIs to automate a web application to aid in its testing. In this article, we discuss the use of Selenium Python API bindings to access the Selenium WebDrivers to click a button by text present in the button. In the following example, we take the help of Chrome. The method used is the find_element_by_link_text() which scrapes the element using the text present. In case there is no such element with the given text attribute, NoSuchElementException is returned. Installation:Make sure you have Selenium installed using pip3 install Selenium And also download the WebDriver for your web browser : Chrome : https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads Firefox : https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases Safari : https://webkit.org/blog/6900/webdriver-support-in-safari-10/ Once Selenium is installed along with the desired WebDriver, we create a file script.py and using our code editor write the python script below which opens up the geeksforgeeks website using the Selenium WebDriver and clicks the Sign In button using the link text. Syntax: driver.find_element_by_link_text("sample text") Steps by step Approach:
Below is the implementation. Python3
Output: https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/uploads/20210222231422/output_FTOFsx0Z_Tx7e.mp4 First, the WebDriver opens up the window with geeksforgeeks, maximizes it, and waits for 10 seconds. Then it clicks the Sign In button and opens up the sign-up panel. I have a script that is used to login in to a company-made application and click the right buttons like "continue", or "ok", etc. to perform a certain process. However, I have had to use screenshots of these buttons to click in order to do this using pyautogui. Is there any package or way to automate this process without using images. Maybe it can detect the text of the button and click it. I do not have identifiers for the buttons available and no access to the code/info behind the application. Let me know if you have any ideas.
