How to click on the element with Selenium Python

Question

I'm trying to click a the element with text as I don't have the telephone on this website.

So I find the element with inspect. here is the element in html:

<span class="toggle-link link_has-no-phone" role="button">I&nbsp;don't have a&nbsp;telephone number</span>

In my nonfunctional code i wrote this:

r = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='root']/div/div[2]/div/main/div/div/div/form/div[3]/div/div[2]/div/span")
r.click

The button is never clicked and nothing happens i get no error and i can't click it any help would be appreciated.

You can use css selector below to get span:

r = driver.find_element_by_css_selector(".link_has-no-phone")
r.click()

r = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='root']/div/div[2]/div/main/div/div/div/form/div[3]/div/div[2]/div/span")
r.click()

You just forgot the parenthesis

To click on the element with text as I don't have a telephone number you can use either of the Locator Strategies:

css_selector:

driver.find_element_by_css_selector("span.toggle-link.link_has-no-phone").click()

xpath:

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[@class='toggle-link link_has-no-phone']").click()
