How come I am getting InvalidSelectorException when trying to click a button using Selenium?

I am very new at working with Selenium. I am trying to click on the following Select button: enter image description here

Here is my code:

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class FirstTest 
{
    private static WebDriver driver;

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
        driver = new FirefoxDriver();
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        driver.navigate().to("http://www.metro.ca/flyer/index.en.html");

        WebElement postalCodeInputBox = driver.findElement(By.name("postalcode"));
        postalCodeInputBox.sendKeys("L6R1A1");
        postalCodeInputBox.submit();

        String pageSource = driver.getPageSource();
        if(pageSource.contains("setstore btn"))
            System.out.println("setstore btn FOUND");

        WebElement selectButton = driver.findElement(By.className("setstore btn"));
        selectButton.click();
    }
}

Picture confirming that "setstore btn" is in the source: enter image description here

Here is "setstore btn" in the source: enter image description here

It's very likely caused by you trying to search for two separate classes in the single By.className(). "setstore" and "btn" are each their own classes.

Try replacing 

WebElement selectButton = driver.findElement(By.className("setstore btn"));

with

WebElement selectButton = driver.findElement(new ByAll(By.className("setstore"), By.className("btn")));

Alternatively, https://stackoverflow.com/a/16090160/1055102 provides another good option.

WebElement selectButton = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".setstore.btn"));
