Clicking a button on a webpage with Selenium and Python

Question

I'm trying to click on a button:

<button type="submit" class="btn__primary--large" data-cie-control-urn="checkpoint_remember_me_save_info_yes">Remember</button>

I tried driver.find_element(By.XPATH("//span/button[text()='Remember'][1]")).click() But got the following error: TypeError: 'str' object is not callable.

Also tried driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[contains(text(), 'btn__primary--large')]").click() but no click has been made and got the error: selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//span[contains(text(), 'btn__primary--large')]"}

• Prophet: Can you provide the link to the web page to see what the correct locator of the element you are looking for?
• Zedler: The url is linkedin.com/checkpoint/lg/login-submit and its coming up after a succefull login from the url: linkedin.com/login
• Prophet: OK, I see the element there. The xpath I gave you previously in my answer is correct

Answer 1

Try //button[@data-cie-control-urn='checkpoint_remember_me_save_info_yes'] xpath

• Zedler: I get the error 'TypeError: 'str' object is not callable, from the following line: driver.find_element(By.XPATH("//button[@data-cie-control-urn='checkpoint_remember_me_save_info_yes']")).click()
• Prophet: Maybe you should add some delay to let the element completely loaded before clicking on it?

Answer 2

I dont know why driver.find_element(By.XPATH("//button[@data-cie-control-urn='checkpoint_remember_me_save_info_yes']")).click() didnt worked,

but driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@data-cie-control-urn='checkpoint_remember_me_save_info_yes']").click() works like a charm.

• Prophet: What's because I sent you a Java code while you are using Python :)
• Prophet: No, it was even not my fault. I sent you xpath only. Anyway, I'm happy it helped you. So, if possible, accept my answer
