Issue
I am trying to scraping in this URL, dealing with a Download button and I am having a problem, as the last line gives a ElementClickInterceptedException
.
My actual goal is to download the CSV file.
The code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from ipykernel import kernelapp as app
import time
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
driver_path = 'C:\\Users\\Idener\\Downloads\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(driver_path, options=options)
url = "https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/2078"
driver.get(url)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 5)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[@id="NIOSH-Toxicity-Data"]/div[1]/div/div/a'))).click()
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[@id="Download"]'))).click()
Solution
- Element you trying to click in initially out of the visible viewpoint. So, you need first to scroll the page and only then to click on that element.
- By clicking the first element new tab is opened and the second element you want to click is there, on the second tab. So, you need to switch to the new tab to access that element.
- No need to define
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
second time.
The following code is working:
import time
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
webdriver_service = Service('C:\webdrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, service=webdriver_service)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
url = "https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/2078#section=Toxicity"
driver.get(url)
element = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#NIOSH-Toxicity-Data a[title*='Open']")))
element.location_once_scrolled_into_view
time.sleep(1)
element.click()
driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[1])
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "Download"))).click()
It does not download the file, only opens the downloading dialog
