AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'Click'

Question

i'm trying to automate a login process on moodle but when i try to find and send keys in the username feild is thsows me error here is my code:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import webbrowser
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(r'D:\Install\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("https://lms.jspmrscoe.edu.in/?redirect=0")
username = driver.find_element(By.NAME, 'username').is_displayed()
username.Click()
username.send_keys("name*emphasized text*")

the code works fine till the finding of the element but when i try to click on it by .click() it shows a error is like this:

AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'Click'

.is_displayed() returns a boolean of True or False depending on whether that element is displayed. You need to check if that element isdisplayed but then you have to .Click() the element itself, not the result of isdisplayed — G. Anderson

In this line:

username = driver.find_element(By.NAME, 'username').is_displayed()

the is_displayed() function is called.

This returns True or False - a boolean.

You cannot call the .Click() function on username since booleans don't have that function

You are calling Click on a Boolean, here is the solution:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import webbrowser
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(r'D:\Install\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("https://lms.jspmrscoe.edu.in/?redirect=0")
username = driver.find_element(By.NAME, 'username')

#in case you want to click when username is diplayed
# do this
if username.is_displayed():
  username.Click()
  username.send_keys("name*emphasized text*")
