Login script in popup window. No such element

Question

I'm trying to get a login script to select a user name input to enter in my user name. After this popup is done there will be another one asking for the password. I'm new to python and web interfaces so I'm having trouble identifying what element of the website I need to select to get this to work. Here is the code I have so far.

import selenium
from selenium import webdriver

from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait as wait

DynamoForum = webdriver.Chrome()
DynamoForum.get("https://forum.dynamobim.com/")

login = DynamoForum.find_element_by_class_name("header-buttons").click()

#DynamoForum.switch_to_frame(DynamoForum.find_element_by_
#wait(DynamoForum,10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it(
DynamoForum.find_element_by_xpath("//title[1]")))


wait(DynamoForum,10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it(
DynamoForum.find_element_by_xpath(
"//iframe[@id='destination_publishing_iframe_autodesk_0']")))

DynamoForum.find_element_by_id("userName").send_heys("xxx")

The website is opening and the popup is starting but no text is being entered. Here is what my getting as a result:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/cjr/PycharmProjects/DynamoForum/DynamoForum.py", line 17, in <module>

Basically when you are clicking on login button, you are moving to another window and to access the element in new window you need to switch it from parent window to access this.Try the below code it should work.

    from selenium import webdriver
        DynamoForum = webdriver.Chrome()
        DynamoForum.get("https://forum.dynamobim.com/")
        Parent_window = DynamoForum.window_handles[0]
        login = DynamoForum.find_element_by_class_name("header-buttons").click()
        window_child= DynamoForum.window_handles[1]
        DynamoForum.switch_to.window(window_child)
        DynamoForum.find_element_by_id("userName").send_keys("[email protected]")
        DynamoForum.find_element_by_id("verify_user_btn").click()
        wait=WebDriverWait(DynamoForum,20)

     wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID,"password"))).send_keys("xxx")
       DynamoForum.find_element_by_id("btnSubmit").click()

To get the next window do I set the window_child variable to a new value? I'm getting element not interable.

window_child= DynamoForum.window_handles[1] DynamoForum.switch_to.window(window_child) DynamoForum.find_element_by_id("password").send_keys("xxx") DynamoForum.find_element_by_id("btnSubmit").click()

You have to wait for that element located. wait=WebDriverWait(DynamoForum,20) wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID,"password"))).send_keys("xxx")

Thanks, I imported expected_conditions and WebDriverWait, but I'm getting this error when I run it. NameError: name 'By' is not defined. Shouldn't that be a part of EC?

You need to switch to the iframe.

e.g.

iframe = driver.find_element_by_id('destination_publishing_iframe_autodesk_0')
driver.switch_to.frame(iframe)
driver.find_element_by_name('userName').send_keys('xxx')

See the switch_to function here : https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/api.html?highlight=iframe

For reference:

python selenium cant find iframe xpath
