Clicking a LinkedIn button using selenium (python)

问题

noob here having a heck of time trying to click on a webelement within LinkedIn with no success. To begin here is the source code I'm dealing with:

this is my login:

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
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
import urllib, os, urllib.request
import time

driver = webdriver.Safari()

usrName = 'your_email'
pssWrd = "your_password"

driver.maximize_window()
driver.get("https://www.linkedin.com/uas/login?")

driver.find_element_by_name('session_key').send_keys(usrName)
driver.find_element_by_class_name('password').send_keys(pssWrd)
driver.find_element_by_name('signin').click()

time.sleep(15)
driver.get("https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/people/facetNetwork=%5B%22S%22%5D&keywords=software%20engineers&origin=FACETED_SEARCH")

this is the block that I'm trying to find.

<button aria-label="Connect with LJ Wilson" class="search-result__actions--primary button-secondary-medium m5" data-ember-action="" data-ember-action-5373="5373" data-is-animating-click="true">
  Connect
</button>

I can login and and navigate to the page just fine (after you set a sleep for linkedIn to load past a firewall), but I have done everything to try to click on the button with no success.

I've tried:

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@class='search-result__actions--primary button-secondary-medium m5']"[1]).click()

and

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[contains(text()="Connect])).click()

nothing.... any help would be much appreciated. I haven't been able to click on LinkedIn buttons or elements since it changed it's platform around this time in 2016.

These are the 3 errors I'm getting:

An element command could not be completed because the element is not visible on the page.
An element could not be located on the page using the given search parameters.
Unknown server-side error.

Thanks, Chris

回答1:

This was the line that finally got the job done... just brings up another (different) issue, but progress none the less.

driver.execute_script("document.getElementsByClassName('search-result__actions--primary button-secondary-medium m5')[1].click();")

回答2:

driver.find_element_by_css_selector(".search-result__actions--primary.button-secondary-medium.m5")

try using css selector (via classes)

回答3:

Asper the HTML you have provided to click() on the button with text as Connect you can use the following line of code :

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[@class='search-result__actions--primary button-secondary-medium m5' and contains(.,'Connect')]"))).click()

trying to do the same thing here and found out the LinkedIn hide the page source using javascript which is not readable by the WebDriver as there is no HTML to work with. I am using this code to get the inner HTML but having issues clicking the connect button. You will notice that the actual HTML is inside data variable, how can I get the click to work in this situation. Hany help would be highly appreciable. this code is a small part of a large project which does a lot of things on LinkedIn.
