I am having some issues inputting a value into a textbox using selenium and python. I have tried out quite a few methods but haven't been able to make much progress.
This is what the websites HTML looks like (specifically the textbox I am looking to input a value into)
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="location" id="location" placeholder="Zip Code or City, State (e.g, 12345 or New York, NY)"> <i class="active fa fa-check-circle"></i>
I am trying to enter the value 11415 for now, and have done this
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(By.XPATH, "//input[@class='form-control' and @id='location']")).send_keys("11415")
Here is the website if you'd like to check it out: https://www.fairhealthconsumer.org/medical/zip
And here is my full code for reference (the commented out code is other attempts I've made to solve this!)
import selenium

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

s=Service('/Users/[name]/Desktop/chromedriver')
chromeOptions = Options()
chromeOptions.headless = False
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=s, options=chromeOptions)
list_data = []
def initalize_browser():
# load website
driver.get("https://www.fairhealthconsumer.org/")
driver.maximize_window()
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//button[@class="mx-auto green-btn btnHref"]').click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, ".//*[@for='radio3']/span"))).click()
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, ".//*[@for='radio3']//span[@class='pt-2 border-top border-white']").click()
# inputElement = driver.find_element_by_id("location")
# inputElement.send_keys('11415')
# inputElement.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//button[@class="button custom-bgcolor-secondary next selected"]').click()
# driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[@id="location"]').click()
# driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'//text[@id="location"]').send_keys("11415")
# WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, 'location'))).send_keys('11415')
# button_to_be_clicked = browser.find_element(By.ID, 'button-submit')
# button_to_be_clicked.click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(By.XPATH, "//input[@class='form-control' and @id='location']")).send_keys("11415")
print(driver.page_source)
initalize_browser()
driver.quit
I have watched a ton of videos and read some answers on stack overflow, but I believe the syntax has changed and I haven't found too much info. I would really appreciate any help, thank you so much
I used the https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase Recorder & Export tool to generate a working script.
First pip install seleniumbase
, then run with pytest
or python
:
from seleniumbase import BaseCase
class HealthSiteTest(BaseCase):
def test_health_site(self):
self.open("https://www.fairhealthconsumer.org/")
self.click('button:contains("Medical and Hospital Costs")')
self.click('label[for="radio3"] span i:nth-of-type(2)')
self.click('label[for="radio3"] mark span')
self.type("input#location", "11415")
self.click('a[href="/medical/select-medical-totalcost"]')
self.assert_text("Select the type of care", "h1")
# When run with "python" instead of "pytest"
if __name__ == "__main__":
from pytest import main
main([__file__])
