Unable to invoke click method on selected element

Question

I need to click on a particular button in a Google MyBusiness page. The problem is that no click is happening.

Screenshot shows the button which is supposed to be clicked focused. The html of the element is:

<div role="button" class="U26fgb zg hx mZ r2" jscontroller="VXdfxd" jsaction="click:cOuCgd; mousedown:UX7yZ; mouseup:lbsD7e; mouseenter:tfO1Yc; mouseleave:JywGue;touchstart:p6p2H; touchmove:FwuNnf; touchend:yfqBxc(preventMouseEvents=true|preventDefault=true); touchcancel:JMtRjd;focus:AHmuwe; blur:O22p3e; contextmenu:mg9Pef;"
    jsshadow="" jsname="BddwAf" aria-label="Remove" aria-disabled="false" tabindex="0">
    <div class="Ci he" jsname="ksKsZd"></div>
    <content class="gx"><span style="top: -12px"><svg xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24"
                viewBox="0 0 24 24">
                <path d="M19 6.41L17.59 5 12 10.59 6.41 5 5 6.41 10.59 12 5 17.59 6.41 19 12 13.41 17.59 19 19 17.59 13.41 12z"></path>
                <path d="M0 0h24v24H0z" fill="none"></path>
            </svg></span></content>
</div>

I have tried to do a wide search for similiar elements with the following selector:

hoursdiv = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//div[@role = "button"]')
    for el in hoursdiv:
        print(el)
        el.click

Output:

But the element is not getting clicked. The html of the section where these elements are displayed is uploaded here.

Try to wait until modal window with X buttons appeared and use more specific locator to select buttons:

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

buttons = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'div[arial-label="Remove"] svg')))
for button in buttons:
    button.click()

The element which you are trying to click is a JavaScript enabled element, so you have to induce WebDriverwait for the element to be clickable and you can use either of the following solution:

Using CSS_SELECTOR:

hoursdiv = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div[role='button'][aria-label='Remove']")))
for el in hoursdiv:
    print(el)
    el.click()

Using XPATH:

hoursdiv = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//div[@role='button' and @aria-label='Remove']")))
for el in hoursdiv:
    print(el)
    el.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

I assume wait is not your problem, it need two click, div and <content class="gx">
