[FIXED] How do I handle cookie accept button within nested iframes in selenium with python?

Issue

I've tried almost everything and searched on SO but can't get passed the cookie accept on gmx.com. Hoping someone can help out. So far I've tried:

driver = webdriver.Chrome(CHROMEPATH)
driver.get('https://www.gmx.com')
time.sleep(5)
cookie_accept = WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//button[@id="onetrust-accept-btn-handler"]')))
cookie_accept.click()

===AND===

driver = webdriver.Chrome(CHROMEPATH)
driver.get('https://www.gmx.com')
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 15)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(
    (By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div[style='onetrust-style'] button[id*='onetrust-accept-btn-handler']")))
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("div[style='onetrust-style'] button[id*='onetrust-accept-btn-handler']").click()
time.sleep(10)
driver.quit()

What am I doing wrong?! Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Solution

The element Agree and continue is within nested elements so you have to:

• Induce WebDriverWait for the parent frame to be available and switch to it.

• Induce WebDriverWait for the child frame to be available and switch to it.

• Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable.

• You can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

  • Using CSS_SELECTOR:

    driver.get("https://www.gmx.com/consentpage")
    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe.permission-core-iframe")))
    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe[src^='https://plus.gmx.com/lt']")))
    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button#onetrust-accept-btn-handler"))).click()
    

  • Using XPATH:

    driver.get("https://www.gmx.com/consentpage")
    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[@class='permission-core-iframe']")))
    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[starts-with(@src, 'https://plus.gmx.com/lt')]")))
    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[@id='onetrust-accept-btn-handler']"))).click()
    

• Note : You have to add the following imports :

   from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
   from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
   from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
