This is the HTML:

<div class="fl">
<div class="colMenu">
<h3 class="submenu" style="background-position: 0px -68px;">Cadastro</h3>
<div class="colMenu">
<h3 class="submenu" style="background-position: 0px -68px;">Movimento</h3>
<div class="colMenu">
<h3 class="submenu" style="background-position: 0px -68px;">Consulta</h3>

I need to click on "Consulta", but I can't. I already tried driver.find_element(By.("CLASS_NAME, XPATH, TAG_NAME, LINK_TEXT,etc") but none is working.

Some elements I've tried:

driver.find_element(BY.XPATH, "//*[@id='conteudo"]/div[2]/div[3]/div[1]/div[3]/h3").click()

Select(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CLASS_NAME, 'fl')))).select_by_visible_text("Consulta")

Select(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CLASS_NAME, 'colMenu')))).select_by_visible_text("Consulta")

Select(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CLASS_NAME, 'submenu')))).select_by_visible_text("Consulta")

  • Welcome to the community! Thanks for adding the HTML. Can you also provide the exact "CLASS_NAME, XPATH, TAG_NAME, LINK_TEXT" you tried?

  • I try: driver.find_element(BY.XPATH, "//*[@id='conteudo"]/div[2]/div[3]/div[1]/div[3]/h3").click()

The HTML code I created as per the information you provided:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div class="fl">
<div class="colMenu">
<h3 class="submenu" style="background-position: 0px -68px;">Cadastro</h3>
<div class="colMenu">
<h3 class="submenu" style="background-position: 0px -68px;">Movimento</h3>
<div class="colMenu">
<h3 class="submenu" style="background-position: 0px -68px;">Consulta</h3>
</body>
</html>

It has been automated using Java, Selenium and TMT Testing Utilities library with this code:

package Demo;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import com.theminitools.TestingUtilities.Utilities;

public class Demo implements Utilities{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.driver", "/home/staah/Tools/Java/geckodriver");
            u.setBrowser("chrome");
            u.go("file:///home/milin/eclipse-workspace/Demo/resource/index.html");
            u.wait(5);

//          // your code goes here
            WebElement menuLink = u.find("xpath", "//div[@class='colMenu']/h3[@class='submenu' and contains(text(),'Consulta')]");
            u.click(menuLink);
//          // your code goes here
            
            u.closeBrowser();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

I was able to get the script to click the 'Consulta' menu item.

You can translate this code to Python. It should be something like this,

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("file:///home/milin/eclipse-workspace/Demo/resource/index.html")

menu_link = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='colMenu']/h3[@class='submenu' and contains(text(),'Consulta')]")
menu_link.click()

driver.close()

I'm not sure of Python as I haven't worked with it.

Can you try the below XPath expression:

//h3[contains(text(),"Consulta")]

Assumption: The text Consulta appears only once in the website

XPath explanation: This relative XPath searches all the h3 tags which contain text Consulta
