Could not find the button using selenium

Question

i was trying various "find element by" methods to find a button that i need to click

<button data-test-modal-close-btn aria-label="Dismiss" id="ember1106" class="artdeco-modal__dismiss artdeco-button artdeco-button--circle artdeco-button--muted artdeco-button--2 artdeco-button--tertiary ember-view">flex

The html code has been mentioned above

and i tried access it through id but the ember under the id will randomly shuffles it number each time. so i red a answer on internet that i can use xpath to find aria label

close_button = self.driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("[aria-label=Dismiss]")
close_button.click()

but its helpless. can someone help me on this

What is the error ?

Your css selector is wrong basically you are missing button, try below code :

close_button = self.driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("button[aria-label=Dismiss]")
close_button[0].click()

also since you have mentioned ember1106 is dynamically, generated

the below css may help you :-

button[id^='ember']

also you can try this :

button[aria-label='Dismiss'][class*='dismiss']

also try with explicit wait :-

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[aria-label=Dismiss]"))).click()

imports :

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

Your locator is wrong, it should be button[aria-label=Dismiss].
Also, you should use find_element_by_css_selector, not find_elements_by_css_selector.
Since find_elements_by_css_selector returns a list of web elements, not a single element you can click directly.
So, your code can be

close_button = self.driver.find_element_by_css_selector("button[aria-label=Dismiss]")
close_button.click()

or

close_button = self.driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("button[aria-label=Dismiss]")[0]
close_button.click()

i got a error trying both of them saying that Message: element click intercepted: Element <div id="ember907" class="full-width artdeco-entity-lockup__title ember-view">...</div> is not clickable at point (258, 591). Other element would receive the click: <div aria-hidden="false" id="ember1029" class="artdeco-modal-overlay artdeco-modal-overlay--layer-default artdeco-modal-overlay--is-top-layer ember-view">...</div>

but the problem has been solved by using the line(wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10) wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[aria-label=Dismiss]"))).click()). Thanks for the help
