Selenium not finding element on XPATH on certain page

Question

I want to press the Login Button on the site https://www.bet365.com/#/HO/ using selenium, I'm passing the XPATH of the Element that I select from inspect, but it doesnt work

text base HTML:

<divclass="hmMainHeaderRHSLoggedOutWide_Login">Login</div> 

XPATH:

/html/body/div[1]/div/div[3]/div[1]/div/div[2]/div[4]/div[3]/div

Myscript.py

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

service = Service(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service)
driver.get('https://www.bet365.com/#/HO/')
TIME_TO_LOAD = 10
try:
   element = WebDriverWait(driver, TIME_TO_LOAD).until(
   EC.presence_of_element_located(
        (By.XPATH, '/html/body/div[1]/div/div[3]/div[1]/div/div[2]/div[4]/div[3]/div'))
    )
finally:
   driver.quit()

The button of the page that i want to click:

The text base HTML:< div class="hmMainHeaderRHSLoggedOutWide_Login">Login</ div>

Answer 1

Try the below xpath

"//*[normalize-space(text())='Login']"

Or

"//*[contains(text(),'Login')]"

to click on button

button = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//*[contains(text(),'Login')]")

button.click()

Also, provide the more info to understand the question clearly.

Answer 2

Always try to point out the elements you want using something that is most likely to stay the same every time you load the page, so the selector for the element you want should be using something unique, like "id" or "class", because the hierarchy is most likely to change.

In this case, I used the class "hm-MainHeaderRHSLoggedOutWide_Login" to locate the element.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

service = Service(ChromeDriverManager().install())

driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service)

driver.get('https://www.bet365.com/#/HO/')
TIME_TO_LOAD = 10

try:
    element = WebDriverWait(driver, TIME_TO_LOAD).until(
        EC.presence_of_element_located(
            (By.XPATH, '//*[@class="hm-MainHeaderRHSLoggedOutWide_Login "]')
        )
    )
    print(element.text)

except Exception as e:
    print(e)

finally:
    driver.quit()
