In Java, how do I click a button with class, without ID, XPath or Class name?

Can you clarify what you mean by 'click a button with class, without... Class name?'Tom Trumper– Tom Trumper2016-03-24 15:02:02 +00:00Commented Mar 24, 2016 at 15:02

You can click by the compose text with xpath
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[contains(text(), 'COMPOSE')]")).click();
Or with cssSelector
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div:contains('COMPOSE')")).click();

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.InvalidSelectorException: The given selector div:contains('COMPOSE') is either invalid or does not result in a WebElement. The following error occurred: InvalidSelectorError: An invalid or illegal selector was specified Command duration or timeout: 11.21 seconds

It's not work out:(, I need to click a compose button in GMAIL after logged in.

can you extract the html code of the button so we can define a working selector
Ram4Automation
<div gh="cm" style="-moz-user-select: none;" class="T-I J-J5-Ji T-I-KE L3" role="button" tabindex="0">COMPOSE</div>
Olivier Boissé
maybe you could try driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div[role='button']")).click();

Yes it's clicking, but not a compose button, its clicking the search button

As an XPath:
//div[@class='T-I J-J5-Ji T-I-KE L3']
Comments
WebElement composeBtn = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@class='T-I J-J5-Ji T-I-KE L3']"));
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", composeBtn);

While this code may answer the question, it would be better to include some context, explaining how it works and when to use it. Code-only answers are not useful in the long run.
