To locate the login form on the sign-in page, it is necessary to click the "Email" button first in order to proceed with submitting the login form.
I have included the following two lines in the script to accomplish this.
email_button = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//button[@name='Email']")
email_button.click()
The login form does not contain a button of type "submit." Instead, there is only a button without a specified type. To perform the login action, I used the span text "Sign in" to identify and click the appropriate button.
Your code:
login_button = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//button[@type='submit']")
Updated code by me:
login_button = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//span[text()='Sign in']")
The login process was successful. However, after logging in, the system is unable to locate any container elements.
I trust you will be able to address this issue.
The complete code, with corrections applied, is presented below:
