How to click a button automatically in python

I need to auto click on any of the "Add" buttons in a web page like as the following address:

"//groceries.asda.com/search/yoghurt"

But, none of the "Add" buttons in the page has name or id. So I can not use driver.find_element_by_id[] command from Selenium package.

Can any one help me?

To click on any particular Add button for a particular product you can write a method as follows:

def click_me[string]:
    driver.find_element_by_xpath["//h3/a[@class='co-product__anchor' and contains[@title, '%s']]//following::button[1]" % [string]].click[]

Now you can click on any of the Add button passing their title as follows:

click_me["Munch"] # Munch Bunch Double Up Strawberry & Vanilla Yogurts
# or
click_me["ASDA"] # ASDA Greek Style Fat Free Yogurt
# or
click_me["Petits"] # Petits Filous Apricot, Strawberry & Raspberry Yogurt

Use a similar method find_elements_by_css_selector:

elements = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector[.asda-button.asda-button--category-primary.asda-button--color-green.asda-button--size-small.co-quantity__add-btn]

as the buttons have identifying classes. Afterwards, you can click each of these buttons:

for e in elements:
    e.click[]

enter code here
import pyautogui
x= #x location
y= #y location
while True:
     pyautogui.click[x,y]

Hey, @Parthiv,

For python, use the

from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains

and

ActionChains[browser].click[element].perform[]

Selenium can automatically click on buttons that appear on a webpage

Find the button.
Click on the button.

We can find the button on the web page by using methods like find_element_by_class_name[], find_element_by_name[], find_element_by_id[] etc, then after finding the button/element we can click on it using click[] method.

Syntax :

# finding the button using ID
button = driver.find_element_by_id[ID]

# clicking on the button
button.click[]

CODE:

import time

# importing webdriver from selenium

from selenium import webdriver

  

# Here Chrome  will be used

driver = webdriver.Chrome[]

# URL of website

url = "// ABC.."

  

  # Opening the website

driver.get[url]

  

# geeting the button by class name

button = driver.find_element_by_class_name["slide-out-btn"]

  

# clicking on the button

button.click[]

This will click on the button and a popup will be shown. For further understanding, you can refer to the Selenium Training.

Hope this helps!!!
