Selenium Python for Dropdown not working

[gj31980]

Hi All,

We have an internal dynamics CRM page that we are trying to download data from using Selenium. Unfortunately when I get into the second window that opens up, the dropdown selection does not seem to work. It is the "Select Agreements" code below:
Below is the code

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62

from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC   #--| Chrome Setup options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() # options.add_argument("--headless") options.add_argument('--disable-gpu') options.add_argument('--log-level=3') prefs={"download.default_directory":r"\\energy\data\apps\BISharedServices\LegacyNGLForecastArchive"}       #Setup Chrome preferences options.add_experimental_option("prefs",prefs) browser = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)   #Direct Link browser.get('') browser.maximize_window()   # Store current window position window_before = browser.window_handles[0]     wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 30)   #Key in Email web_loginscreen = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'i0116')))  web_loginscreen.send_keys("")   # Next Button web_loginbutton = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="idSIButton9"]') web_loginbutton.click()   window_before_title = browser.title print(window_before_title) #Filter button web_filter = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[@id="advancedFindLauncher"]/button/span/span')))  web_filter.click()   #browse to newly opened download window browser.switch_to.window(browser.window_handles[1]) window_after = browser.window_handles[1] window_after_title = browser.title print(window_after_title)   # Select Agreements time.sleep(5) dropdown = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="slctPrimaryEntity"]') select = Select(dropdown) select.selectByIndex(35)     time.sleep(15) #seconds browser.close() browser.quit()

The Xpath for the dropdown is //*[@id="slctPrimaryEntity"] and the selection "Agreements" from the dropdown is option 35
Xpath for the selection = //*[@id="slctPrimaryEntity"]/option[35]

The Error I get is below
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[@id="slctPrimaryEntity"]"}
(Session info: chrome=86.0.4240.111)



Do you find anything wrong with my python code syntax in accessing the dropdown?
Any help is appreciated. Please advise.

Thanks.

UPDATE

I was able to figure out that I needed to switch to a different iframe and then try the element and that worked. But now my final step to click the export button is not working as that ribbon is automatically generated.

Does anyone know how to switch to a dynamic tab on the toolbar?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37

# Select Agreements time.sleep(5)       # locate all elements      frame = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="contentIFrame0"]') browser.switch_to.frame(frame) #   dropdown = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="slctPrimaryEntity"]') dropdown.click()   agreements = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="slctPrimaryEntity"]/option[35]') agreements.click() # print(dropdown.text)   # Go back out of iframe to default content browser.switch_to.default_content() # Look For Results web_results = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="apttusps.ApplicationRibbon.{!EntityLogicalName}.Button2.Button-Large"]') web_results.click()   ribbonframe = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="crmRibbonManager"]') ribbonframe.click()   # browser.switch_to.frame(ribbonframe)   # Export to Excel web_results_excel = browser.find_element_by_class_name('ms-cui-ctl-large') # find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="apttus_apts_agreement|NoRelationship|SubGridStandard|Mscrm.SubGrid.apttus_apts_agreement.ExportToExcel-Large"]') web_results_excel.click()   time.sleep(15) #seconds browser.close() browser.quit()
