I’m new to selenium I am trying to copy something from one page to another, the page that I copy off of already has it so if you just click on the text once it copies automatically but it is not copying anything I am not sure why
chrome_driver = '/Applications/chromedriver' driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_driver) driver.get('https://tempail.com/en/') time.sleep(5) driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="eposta_adres"]').click() driver.get('https://www.instagram.com/') driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="user_first_name"]').send_keys('Scott') driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="user_email"]').click() act.key_down(Keys.META).send_key("COMMAND + v").key_up(Keys.META).perform()

Answer
On my Linux
in Firefox
and Chrome
works
item.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL, "v")
Like
item = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="user_email"]') item.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL, "v")
I tried to test it with your code but you use xpath
which I can’t find on Instagam
So I tested with field Search...
on current page
from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager #from webdriver_manager.firefox import GeckoDriverManager import time driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=ChromeDriverManager().install()) #driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=GeckoDriverManager().install()) driver.get('https://tempail.com/en/') time.sleep(5) driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="eposta_adres"]').click() driver.get('https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71543113/copy-and-paste-in-selenium-python/') item = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@name="q"]') item.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL, "v")
BTW: I described this long time ago in
Selenium: How to send clipboad to field in browser — furas.pl.
I show also how to use module pyperclip to work with clipboard
.
from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager #from webdriver_manager.firefox import GeckoDriverManager import time import pyperclip driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=ChromeDriverManager().install()) #driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=GeckoDriverManager().install()) driver.get('https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71543113/copy-and-paste-in-selenium-python/') item = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@name="q"]') #text = pyperclip.paste() # get text from cliboard #item.clear() #item.send_keys(text) pyperclip.copy("Hello World") # put text in clipboard item.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL, "v")
