Can't select button to click on it using selenium

I am a newbie in selenium, and I got stock when I want to click the button with the next html code :

<div class="mb-8">
 <div class="wrapper">
  <button class="w-full h-14 pt-2 pb-1 px-3 bg-accent text-dark-1 rounded-full md:rounded select-none cursor-pointer md:hover:shadow-big focus:outline-none md:focus:bg-accent-2 md:focus:shadow-small ">
    <div class="font-medium">
    <div class="text-17 md:text-18 md:font-bold leading-18">Activate</div> 
    <div class="text-13 md:text-12 font-normal md:font-medium leading-normal">Mining 4 hours</div>
    </div>
  </button>
 </div>
</div>

This is what I tryed :

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
import time
driver = webdriver.Chrome("chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://link")
search = driver.find_element_by_id("email")
search.clear()
search.send_keys("username")
search = driver.find_element_by_id("password")
search.clear()
search.send_keys("password")
search.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
time.sleep(3)
link= driver.find_element_by_link_text("Miner")
link.click()
time.sleep(3)
link= driver.find_element_by_class_name("w-full h-14 pt-2 pb-1 px-3 bg-accent text-dark-1 rounded-full md:rounded select-none cursor-pointer md:hover:shadow-big focus:outline-none md:focus:bg-accent-2 md:focus:shadow-small ")

Got this:

InvalidSelectorException: invalid selector: An invalid or illegal selector was specified
  (Session info: chrome=88.0.4324.182)

link=driver.find_element_by_css_selector("w-full h-14 pt-2 pb-1 px-3 bg-accent text-dark-1 rounded-full md:rounded select-none cursor-pointer md:hover:shadow-big focus:outline-none md:focus:bg-accent-2 md:focus:shadow-small ")

Same error. Tryed also this (because of the info in the image)

enter image description here

link=driver.find_element_by_css_selector(".w-full.h-14.pt-2.pb-1.px-3.bg-accent.text-dark-1.rounded-full.md\:rounded.select-none.cursor-pointer.md\:hover\:shadow-big.focus\:outline-none.md\:focus\:bg-accent-2.md\:focus\:shadow-small.")

Same error. Tryed this also:

link= driver.find_element_by_class_name("Activate")

Got this :

NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":".Activate"}
  (Session info: chrome=88.0.4324.182)

Thank you for your help !!!

If you want to find an element by class then just use one class instead of all classes.

Here in your case 'Activate' is not a class. You can try:

link= driver.find_element_by_class_name("w-full");

Also, you can find this button using XPath.

If none of these work your element is in an iframe. driver.switch_to.frame() would solve it.

Xpaths:

//div[@class='wrapper']/button
//div[.='Activate']/parent::button[1]

Css selectors:

button.w-full.h-14.pt-2.pb-1.px-3.bg-accent.text-dark-1.rounded-full.md:rounded.select-none cursor-pointer.md:hover:shadow-big.focus:outline-none.md:focus:bg-accent-2 .md:focus:shadow-small
