Unable to check the checkbox using selenium

Question

I'm trying to check the checkbox using Selenium. This is the element of the checkbox.

<div class="ams-item-text ng-binding" ng-bind-html="amssh.create_label(item)" ng-click="toggle_check_node(item)" role="button" tabindex="0">all contract signed</div>

I'm directly copying the x-path of this element and wrote the below code:

browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="advancedcontents"]/div/div/div[2]/div/div[1]/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div[3]/div[2]').click()

But it won't never click the check box that I wanted, but click the check box way below, which is with this:

<div class="ams-item-text ng-binding" ng-bind-html="amssh.create_label(item)" ng-click="toggle_check_node(item)" role="button" tabindex="0">future</div>

What could be the issues? I try the checkbox element, or the text element (also clickable) but both doesn't work.

Can you share the link?

To click on dynamic element induce WebDriverWait() and visibility_of_element_located() and following xpath option.

WebDriverWait(browser,10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH,"//div[@class='ams-item-text ng-binding' and text()='all contract signed']"))).click()

You need to import following libraries.

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

Try below code:

    wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 20)
    wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(By.XPATH, "//div[contains(.,'all contract signed')]")).click()

Note : Add below imports to your solution

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

Hi... So sometimes the code (not just the above code, but in general when I try to find element) works but when I try again a few times, it stops working. Do you know why?

I get an error message that says

Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//input[@name='daterangepicker_start']"}

but the code was working well previously.

Yes use it to avoid synchronization issues
