How to click on the element with tooltip as Export as CSV using Selenium and Python

I'm trying to click an "export as csv" button on this webpage using selenium https://monitoringpublic.solaredge.com/solaredge-web/p/site/public?name=Alva%20Court%20E5&locale=en_GB#/dashboard (the button is next to "Power and Energy" title). Once I run the program, the site pops up but the download button is not clicked, resulting on Timeout Exception

However the code works with the following site that I found from another StackOverflow question https://www.rotowire.com/football/injury-report.php (although once I run the program and the site pops up, I have to manually accept the cookies in order for the file to be downloaded but that's another issue).

My question is why does the second link work but the first does not?

Here is the code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait as wait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

browser = webdriver.Chrome("C:/Path/chromedriver.exe")
url = 'https://monitoringpublic.solaredge.com/solaredge-web/p/site/public? name=Alva%20Court%20E5&locale=en_GB#/dashboard'
browser.get(url)

button = wait(browser, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CLASS_NAME, "is-csv")))
button.click()

browser.close()

To invoke click() on the element with tooltip text as Export as CSV you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use the following Locator Strategy:

  • Using XPATH:

    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//p[@class='x-panel-header-text' and text()='Power and Energy']//following::button[1]"))).click()

  • Note : You have to add the following imports :

    from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

  • Browser Snapshot:

Power_Energy

For Power and Energy selector is #power_energy_panel button[class*=export].
For Comparative Energy is #se-comparative-energy-panel button[class*=export].

url = "https://monitoringpublic.solaredge.com/solaredge-web/p/site/public?name=Alva%20Court%20E5&locale=en_GB#/dashboard"

browser.get(url)
button = WebDriverWait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#power_energy_panel button[class*=export]")))
button.click()

The class name is incorrect. try with following class name,

button = wait(browser, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CLASS_NAME, "se-button-btn export_csv_btn")))
button.click()
