Unable to click label that doesn't have any text using Python and Selenium

Question

I'm trying to click the label below.

Label html:

<div class="is-inline-block">
  <input id="entradas-checkbox-condiciones" type="checkbox" class="switch is-rounded is-small">
  <label style="padding-left:1rem;">

I've tried clicking the label with this code:

WebDriverWait = wait

label1 = wait(self.driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//*[@class = 'is-inline-block']")))[3]
label1.find_element_by_xpath('//label[style="padding-left:1rem;"]').click()

But i get the following error:

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element:

Can somebody help me with the code? Thanks in advance.

To locate and invoke click() on the clickable element instead of presence_of_element_located() you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:

Using CSS_SELECTOR:

WebDriverWait(self.driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.is-inline-block input.switch.is-rounded.is-small#entradas-checkbox-condiciones"))).click()

Using XPATH:

WebDriverWait(self.driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='is-inline-block']//input[@class='switch is-rounded is-small' and @id='entradas-checkbox-condiciones']"))).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
