Need help with my selector in Selenium - Kαѕρer - Nov 6, 2020

I have no idea why it won't click on the button.

This is the code of the button:

And this is my code:

Code 
btnOrder = driver.find_element_by_class_name('js-shoppingcart-submit-button')

btnOrder.click()

Thanks.

You need the full class instead of just part

RE: Need help with my selector in Selenium - TheGoobr - Nov 6, 2020

Looks like you're using only "js-shoppingcart-submit-button" which is not the full name of the class. You should be using its full name that includes the part from the line above it

What if I only know a part of the class name that returns? And other stuff changes cause of mobile/desktop?

You need to find the element bu Xpath

//*[contains(@class, "js-shoppingcart-submit-button")]

This should work ^^^^^^^

Code 
driver.find_element_by_selector('SELECTOR_HERE').click()

is what i would use... or xpath. or, you could use the full class name not just the first portion.

Use xpath, here's a video on how to find it if you're unsure:

If the xpath changes depending on how the website is displayed, e.g pc/mobile, then use an if statement to decide which class you want selenium to use

If you ever have problems with Selenium, be it user-error or the site doing something tricky to make your job harder, you can just inject Javascript into the page.

Code 
driver.execute_script(f'''

        {consts.SET_COUNTRY};

        document.getElementsByName("{consts.DOB_YEAR}")[0].value={random.randint(1975, 2001)};

        document.getElementsByName("{consts.DOB_MONTH}")[0].value={random.randint(1, 12)};

        document.getElementsByName("{consts.DOB_DAY}")[0].value={random.randint(1,28)};

        {consts.CONT_BUTTON_GO}

    ''')

Code 
# - Every page

CONT_BUTTON_GO = 'document.getElementById("flow-form-submit-btn").click();'
