Selenium can't click a button python

Can you tell me why selenium can't click a button. I tried xpath, id, class, text and nothing. i get info that there is no such element or sth like that but in firefox i can see that there's an item the name is the same. No idea whats wrong.

self.driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, 3500)")
sleep(1)
#self.action.move_to_element(przycisk).click(sprawdz).perform()
self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@id='sprawdz']").click();
#self.driver.find_element_by_link_text("ok").click();

button on the website

To click on the element you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

  • Using css_selector:

    self.driver.find_element_by_css_selector("button.btn.btn-large#sprawdz").click()

  • Using xpath:

    self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@class='btn btn-large' and @id='sprawdz']").click()

Ideally, to click on the element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

  • Using CSS_SELECTOR:

    WebDriverWait(self.driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button.btn.btn-large#sprawdz"))).click()

  • Using XPATH:

    WebDriverWait(self.driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[@class='btn btn-large' and @id='sprawdz']"))).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

Update

As a last resort you can use execute_script() method as follows:

  • Using CSS_SELECTOR:

    driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", WebDriverWait(self.driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button.btn.btn-large#sprawdz"))))

  • Using XPATH:

    driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", WebDriverWait(self.driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[@class='btn btn-large' and @id='sprawdz']"))))

try this

element = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@id='sprawdz']")
self.driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)
