I'm trying to create a test case for Tumblr (currently in the process of learning automation) and I'm stuck on trying to access the drafts page. So here's what's happening - after I post an image as draft and try to access "Drafts" and delete them, below is the error I'm getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I've tried page refresh -which causes a prompt if I want to terminate the post which I find weird as to why it does not wait to post first before it refreshes itself (see attached image)enter image description here

and implicit wait but that doesn't seem to do anything. The code driver.find_element_by_id('account_button').click() works just fine at the beginning but suddenly won't run after posting draft. I think this has something to do with switching window maybe? Another thing is how do I locate the window name for the posting section?

(see image attached) Is this considered a window where you can call for switching windows?

This is my complete code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait as wait
import os

user = ""
pwd = ""
driver = webdriver.Chrome()

driver.get("https://www.tumblr.com/login")
assert "Tumblr" in driver.title

elem = driver.find_element_by_id("signup_determine_email")
elem.send_keys("email")
elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
driver.implicitly_wait(10)
elem = driver.find_element_by_id("signup_password")
elem.send_keys("password")
elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

driver.find_element_by_id('account_button').click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[@href='/settings']").click()
assert "Account" in driver.title
driver.implicitly_wait(10)
driver.back()

driver.find_element_by_class_name('compose-button').click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='post-type-icon icon-text']").click()

driver.implicitly_wait(15)
driver.find_element_by_css_selector(".post-form--save-button .dropdown-area").click()
driver.implicitly_wait(15)

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='editor editor-richtext']").click()
driver.implicitly_wait(15)
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='editor editor-plaintext']").send_keys("This is a Test Title")<br>
driver.implicitly_wait(15)
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='editor editor-richtext']").click()
driver.implicitly_wait(60)
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='control add-image']").click()
os.system(r'"C:/Users/pmevangelista/Desktop/AutoIt/FileUpload.exe"')<br>
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='editor editor-richtext']").send_keys("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.")
driver.implicitly_wait(60)

driver.find_element_by_css_selector(".post-form--save-button .button-area").click()
driver.refresh()
driver.find_element_by_id('account_button').click()<br>

The message

Element <div class="tab iconic tab_nav_account " id="account_button">...</div>
is not clickable at point (924, 28). Other element would receive the click:
<div class="v-center-inner">...</div>

shows, that your test case order to click on the element, which is present and displayed, but it is not clickable because is covered by another object as a popup, iframe or a tooltip.

So before you click on the object, you should handle the iframe/popup/tooltip and make them close/wait for them to hide.
