[FIXED] How to comment on blogspot within an iframe with Selenium(Python)

Issue

I would like to comment on a blogspot with selenium, chromedriver and python. I tried many methods but failed. How can I run my code below?

driver.get(url)
iframe = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.NAME, 'comment-editor')))
driver.switch_to.frame(iframe)

element=WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.NAME, 'commentBody')))

actionChains = ActionChains(driver)
actionChains.move_to_element(element).click().perform()
actionChains.move_to_element(element).send_keys(text).perform()

I'm getting an error on this line:

element=WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.NAME, 'commentBody')))

Please help to comment with selenium.

Solution

To send a character sequence to the commentBody field as the elements are within an <iframe> so you have to:

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

• Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable.

• You can use the following locator strategies:

  driver.get('https://clearing.apcs.at/emwebapcsem/startApp.do')
  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe[name='comment-editor']")))
  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.NAME, "commentBody"))).send_keys("Akif")
  

• 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
