Python, Selenium | Can't Click Test Here

Question

Hello, I am trying to click the button 'Test Here' using selenium in Python via chrome. I have no clue what it is not working. My code is shared below...

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[contains(text(), 'Test Here')]").click()

Click the button and not the span.

Add /parent::button would fix your xpath.

I'm sorry, very new to using selenium. Could you give me an exact example?

Oh just copy it and put it at the end of your xpath. It moves up 1 level to the button tag.

//span[.='Test Here']/parent::button

Like the above.

You can try the find_element_by_link_text method, like this:

driver.find_element_by_link_text("Test Here").click()

This is the error that I got.... :( selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"link text","selector":"Test Here} (Session info: chrome=88.0.4324.150)

@ghost Try adding the line "driver.implicitly_wait(5)" before the "driver.find_element_by_link_text("Test Here").click()" line.
