Fill username and password using selenium in python
Solution 1:
driver = webdriver.Firefox(...) # Or Chrome(), or Ie(), or Opera()
username = driver.find_element_by_id("username")
password = driver.find_element_by_id("password")
username.send_keys("YourUsername")
password.send_keys("Pa55worD")
driver.find_element_by_name("submit").click()
Notes to your code:
-
find_element_by_name('Username')
:Username
capitalized doesn't match anything. -
Select()
is used to act on a Select Element (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/select)
Solution 2:
Use WebElement.send_keys
method to simulate key typing.
name
in the code (Username
, Password
) does not match actual name
of the elements (username
, password
).
username = browser.find_element_by_name('username')
username.send_keys('user1')
password = browser.find_element_by_name('password')
password.send_keys('secret')
form = browser.find_element_by_id('loginForm')
form.submit()
# OR browser.find_element_by_id('submit').click()
Solution 3:
user = driver.find_element_by_name("username")
password = driver.find_element_by_name("password")
user.clear()
user.send_keys("your_user_name")
password.clear()
password.send_keys("your_password")
driver.find_element_by_name("submit").click()
Note:
- we use
user.clear()
in order to clear the input field. - for locating submit button you can use any other method based on the page source code. for info see locating elements
Solution 4:
In some cases when the element is not interactable, sendKeys()
doesn't work and you're likely to encounter an ElementNotInteractableException
.
In such cases, you can opt to execute javascript that sets the values and then can post back.
Example:
url = 'https://www.your_url.com/'
driver = Chrome(executable_path="./chromedriver")
driver.get(url)
username = 'your_username'
password = 'your_password'
#Setting the value of email input field
driver.execute_script(f'var element = document.getElementById("email"); element.value = "{username}";')
#Setting the value of password input field
driver.execute_script(f'var element = document.getElementById("password"); element.value = "{password}";')
#Submitting the form or click the login button also
driver.execute_script(f'document.getElementsByClassName("login_form")[0].submit();')
print(driver.page_source)
