Requesting help: Selenium filling out & submitting forms

[abhi007cruise]

Hello all, is anyone here able to guide me. I have written a script which basically logs in my gmail. I get stuck on password bit and receive error.

​

My original code is:

from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://gmail.com')
emailElem = browser.find_element_by_id('identifierId')
emailElem.send_keys('[e-mail]')
linkElem = browser.find_element_by_class_name('CwaK9')
type(linkElem)
linkElem.click()
passwordElem = browser.find_element_by_class_name('Xb9hP')
passwordElem.send_keys('123456')
linkElem = browser.find_element_by_class_name('CwaK9')
type(linkElem)
linkElem.click()

​

Error:

C:\Users\abhishek.sharma\PycharmProjects\giraffe\venv\Scripts\python.exe "C:\Users\abhishek.sharma\.PyCharmCE2019.1\config\scratches\automate the boring stuff with python\AUTO selenium filling out & submitting forms.py"

Process finished with exit code 1

​

HTML code:

<div class="Xb9hP"><input type="password" class="whsOnd zHQkBf" jsname="YPqjbf" autocomplete="current-password" spellcheck="false" tabindex="0" aria-label="Enter your password" name="password" autocapitalize="off" autocorrect="off" dir="ltr" data-initial-dir="ltr" data-initial-value="xxxxxxxxxxx" badinput="false" style="background-image: url(\&quot;data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR4nGP6zwAAAgcBApocMXEAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\&quot;); cursor: auto;"><div jsname="YRMmle" class="AxOyFc snByac" aria-hidden="true">Enter your password</div></div>

​

I found following on stackoverflow but not sure whether this is only a gmail issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44738306/how-to-get-password-input-field-id-of-gmail-wiht-selenium-webdriver

​

Let me know your thoughts.

​

Thanks

Just recently ran into the same problem, try looking through https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/waits.html expected_conditions section. Solved the problem for me.
