How to click on the reCaptcha using Selenium and Java

Question

Why am I getting errors when trying to get the driver to click on the reCaptcha button?

this is the site where i am trying to get it to work: https://rsps100.com/vote/760/

This is my current code so far:

WebElement iframeSwitch = driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[1]/div/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div/form/div/div/div/div/iframe"));
driver.switchTo().frame(iframeSwitch);   
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div[class=recaptcha-checkbox-checkmark]")).click();  

Answer 1

To invoke click() on the reCaptcha checkbox as the element is within an <iframe> you need to:

• Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt.
• Induce WebDriverWait for the desired elementToBeClickable.

• You can use the following solution:

  • Code Block:

    public class ReCaptcha_click {
    
        public static void main(String[] args) {
    
            System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe");
            ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
            options.addArguments("start-maximized");
            options.addArguments("disable-infobars");
            options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
            WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
            driver.get("https://rsps100.com/vote/760");
            new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.xpath("//iframe[starts-with(@name, 'a-') and starts-with(@src, 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha')]")));
            new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("div.recaptcha-checkbox-checkmark"))).click();
        }
    }

Here is the code that should work.

driver.switchTo().frame("a-9wt0e8vkopnm");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@id='recaptcha-anchor']")).click();

Answer 3

Use WebDriverWait to identify the element.See if this help.

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.xpath("//iframe[starts-with(@name,'a-')]")));
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("div.recaptcha-checkbox-checkmark")));
element.click();
