https://www.bccard.com/app/merchant/Login.do
I am trying to login to this site automatically using Python-Selenium. However, as you might noticed the password input place is not receiving driver.send_keys
.
code:
from selenium import webdriver import time driver = webdriver.Chrome('C:/chromedriver/chromedriver.exe') driver.get('https://www.bccard.com/app/merchant/Login.do') time.sleep(2) alert = driver.switch_to_alert() alert.dismiss() driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="userid"]').send_keys('id') driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="passwd"]').send_keys('pw')

Answer
1 The site starts blocking automated requests after some amount of them is sent. I’ve added one option on how to avoid bot detection. Look for similar questions on this.
2 You can wait for you alert and check the text inside it.
3 Do not Use time.sleep, use implicit/explicit wait Points 2 and 3 were the main problems in your code.
from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC options = Options() # Try adding user agent to avoid bot detection # options.add_argument('user-agent=') driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path='/snap/bin/chromium.chromedriver') driver.get('https://www.bccard.com/app/merchant/Login.do') driver.implicitly_wait(10) wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10) wait.until(EC.alert_is_present()) alert = driver.switch_to.alert assert "INISAFE CrossWebEX" in alert.text alert.dismiss() driver.find_element_by_css_selector('li>#userid').send_keys('id') driver.find_element_by_css_selector('span>#passwd').send_keys('pw') time.sleep(7) # just to make sure that the values was entered.
UPDATE and solution
I found out that you start seing a virtual keyboard after some amount of attempts. So, you can bypass it with Javascript:
field = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('span>#passwd') driver.execute_script(f"arguments[0].value='pw'", field)
Instead of
driver.find_element_by_css_selector('span>#passwd').send_keys('pw')
