I have this HTML code:

<button> class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block"
type="submit">Autentificare</button>
input type="hidden" name="next" value="/"/

Using below locator I'm not able to click on that button. 

elem.find_element_by_link_text("Autentificare")

Can someone please help me out !

A <button></button> HTML tag is not the same as a link <a></a>. So it cannot find it with the find_element_by_link_text() method, because it looks for link HTML tags.

If you want to find elements by text try the following:

driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[contains(text(), 'Autentificare')]")

  • @AlexAlex You cannot send text to a button, you need to send text to an input. This sounds as another question, because your original question is about clicking. If the clicking works, accept the answer and ask a new question for the new issues :)
