How do I click Selenium "onclick"

Question

I want to click on "cmd('abcdef:perxform',{'id':'5'},true)".

html code --->    <div class="abcdef_button_small" onclick="if (!check_health(1,3)) return; if (!check_timers(1,$(this))) return; $('#dialog_abcdefs .disabled_controls').show(); cmd('abcdef:perxform',{'id':'5'},true); ">AAAA</div>

xpath code --->    //*[@id="abcdef_5"]/div[4]

xpath code --->    /html/body/div[2]/div[3]/div[22]/div[2]/div[4]/div[3]/div[5]/div[4]

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[@onclick='('abcdef:perxform',{'id':'5'},true);']" ))).click()

driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"//div[@onclick=('abcdef:perxform',{'id':'5'},true); ]").click()

the above didn't work.

Using the onclick attribute with dynamic values to click on the clickable element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:

Using CSS_SELECTOR:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div[onclick*='show'][onclick*='perxform'][onclick*='5']"))).click()

Using XPATH:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[contains(@onclick, 'show') and contains(@onclick, 'perxform')][contains(@onclick, '5')]"))).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

Not sure if the HTML was tailored as <div> tags are seldom clickable. However here is poc:

Unfortunately it didn't work. i want to click "perxform',{'id':'5'}". There are values with too many IDs.

It didn't work again :/

driver = self.driver driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@onclick=\"if (!check_health(2,3)) return; if (!check_timers(1,$(this))) return; $('#dialog_abcdefs .disabled_controls').show(); cmd('abcdef:perform',{'id':'3'}, true); \"]").click() I tried with "katalon". recorder gave this code and it worked in "katalon". but when I tried this code "vs code" it still didn't work.

Did you get a chance to look at the preface of the answer where I mentioned about dynamic values and WebDriverWait? Probhably you are messing up things. Just copy paste the code and retest and let me know the status.

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[contains(@onclick, 'show') and contains(@onclick, 'abcdef:perxform')][contains(@onclick, '5')]"))).click() clicked with this code. I just need to open the "dropdown menu" it is in for it to work. Does it work without clicking the "dropdown menu"?
