Log into gmail using Selenium in Python
I am trying to log into gmail using Selenium. In the new gmail log in, first you type your email id and then a next page comes where you type your password. URL of email page and password page, both are different. So, when I am passing the password URL in driver.get
it is reloading the page and it redirects to email page if you refresh the URL without entering password. Because of this, it is missing the password field selector. current_url
is still the previous url, i.e, url of email page. This is my code. I am using chrome driver and python 2.X
import os
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
chromedriver = "/Documents/chromedriver" # Path to chrome-driver
os.environ["webdriver.chrome.driver"] = chromedriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver)
# Email insert
driver.get("https://accounts.google.com/signin/v2/identifier?service=mail&passive=true&rm=false&continue=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%2F&ss=1&scc=1<mpl=default<mplcache=2&emr=1&osid=1&flowName=GlifWebSignIn&flowEntry=ServiceLogin") #URL of email page
username = driver.find_element_by_id("identifierId")
username.send_keys("myemail")
driver.find_element_by_id("identifierNext").click()
# Password Insert
driver.get("https://accounts.google.com/signin/v2/identifier?service=mail&passive=true&rm=false&continue=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%2F&ss=1&scc=1<mpl=default<mplcache=2&emr=1&osid=1&flowName=GlifWebSignIn&flowEntry=ServiceLogin") # URL of password page
password = driver.find_element_by_id("password")
password.send_keys("mypassword")
driver.find_element_by_id("passwordNext").click()
#driver.quit()
Here is the Answer to your Question:
When we work with Selenium 3.4.3
, geckodriver v0.17.0
and Mozilla Firefox 53.0
using Python 3.6.1
, we can use either of the locators xpath
or css_selector
to log into our respective Gmail accounts through Gmail's signin module v2
.
Using XPATH :
Here is the sample code to log into Gmail using xpath
:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
binary = FirefoxBinary('C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe')
caps = DesiredCapabilities().FIREFOX
caps["marionette"] = True
driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=caps, firefox_binary=binary, executable_path="C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe")
driver.get("https://accounts.google.com/signin")
email_phone = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@id='identifierId']")
email_phone.send_keys("your_emailid_phone")
driver.find_element_by_id("identifierNext").click()
password = WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(
EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[@name='password']"))
)
password.send_keys("your_password")
driver.find_element_by_id("passwordNext").click()
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
Here is the sample code to log into Gmail using css_selector
:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
binary = FirefoxBinary('C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe')
caps = DesiredCapabilities().FIREFOX
caps["marionette"] = True
driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=caps, firefox_binary=binary, executable_path="C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe")
driver.get("https://accounts.google.com/signin")
email_phone = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#identifierId")
email_phone.send_keys("your_emailid_phone")
driver.find_element_by_css_selector(".ZFr60d.CeoRYc").click()
password = WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(
EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input[class='whsOnd zHQkBf'][type='password']"))
)
password.send_keys("your_password")
driver.find_element_by_css_selector(".ZFr60d.CeoRYc").click()
