Currently, I am working on a project using Selenium to develop a simple code that will launch the browser and navigate to the GitHub website. The main objective is to search for a specific keyword in the search bar. However, upon running the code, I encountered an issue where it states that the element is not interactable. This problem arises because I am having difficulty locating the search bar element, potentially due to JavaScript interference.
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()),options=options)
url = "http://github.com"
driver.get(url)
searchInput = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='query-builder-test']")
time.sleep(1)
searchInput.send_keys("python")
time.sleep(2)
searchInput.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
I attempted to utilize the JavaScript executor to target the input element and also experimented with selenium's find element method, yet I am still unable to effectively search for the desired keyword view here.
element=driver.execute_script("return document.getElementById('query-builder-test').value='python';")
searchInput = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='query-builder-test']")
