Solution 1:

Solution update (11-Feb-2020)

Using the following set of binaries:

  • Selenium v3.141.0
  • ChromeDriver v80.0
  • Chrome Version 80.0

You can use the following updated block of code as a solution:

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

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-automation"])
options.add_experimental_option('useAutomationExtension', False)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("https://www.inipec.gov.it/cerca-pec/-/pecs/companies")
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe[name^='a-'][src^='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/anchor?']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[@id='recaptcha-anchor']"))).click()

Original solution

Within the URL https://www.inipec.gov.it/cerca-pec/-/pecs/companies to invoke click() on the reCAPTCHA checkbox you need to:

  • Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.
  • Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable.
  • You can use the following solution:

    from selenium import webdriver
    from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
    from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait 
    from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
    from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
    
    options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
    options.add_argument("start-maximized")
    options.add_argument('disable-infobars')
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\chromedriver.exe', chrome_options=options)
    driver.get("https://www.inipec.gov.it/cerca-pec/-/pecs/companies")
    WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe[name^='a-'][src^='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/anchor?']")))
    WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[@class='recaptcha-checkbox goog-inline-block recaptcha-checkbox-unchecked rc-anchor-checkbox']/div[@class='recaptcha-checkbox-checkmark']"))).click()
