To click() 5 times on an element using Selenium you can use a _for()_ loop and inducing WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable()as follows:

for i in range(5):
    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "com.sustlabs.ohmassistant:id/btn_next"))).click()

Note : You have to add the following imports :

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

I am assuming the next button is going to a new page so this combined with a try except would be the best option.

@ArundeepChohan You are right. But using try, in-case the click is missed, range(5) may not click 5 times. Catch 22 situation :)

If we had a lot pages in the range, could we get blocked? Does this method do anything to prevent the server thinking it could be a denial of service attack? It this where an explicit wait would come in?
