How to select calender month using Selenium Select method using python selenium

Question

I am trying to select a month from the calender using Select method of selenium in python. URL of site is: https://www.vegasinsider.com/mlb/matchups/ . I am getting timeout error and the driver is unable to find the select element of calender. Code is as follows:

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
click_calender=wait.until(
            EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, 'datepicker'))
        )
click_calender.click()
select_month = Select(wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[@id="pika-title-yj"]/div[1]/select'))))
select_month.select_by_visible_text("June")

I am getting a timeout error on Select method as this:

select_month = Select(wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[@id="pika-title-yj"]/div[1]/select'))))

File "C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\support\wait.py", line 89, in until

I have tried to click the month element but I am unable to do so as well. Please let me know what is wrong here.

Where did you got //*[@id="pika-title-yj"]/div[1]/select within the HTML? Or //*[@id="pika-title-yj"] per se? — undetected Selenium

The dates of the calendar are <button> tags

So you can't use Select() class.

Solution

To chose a date e.g. July 3rd, 2022 instead of presence_of_element_located() you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use the following css_selector based locator strategies:

Code block:

driver.get('https://www.vegasinsider.com/mlb/matchups/')
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button#onetrust-accept-btn-handler"))).click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#datepicker"))).click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[data-pika-year='2022'][data-pika-month='6'][data-pika-day='3']"))).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
