I need some help. There is URL: https://www.inipec.gov.it/cerca-pec/-/pecs/companies. I need to click checkbox Captcha: enter image description here

My code is look like:

import os, urllib.request, requests, datetime, time, random, ssl, json, codecs, csv, urllib
from urllib.request import Request, urlopen
from urllib.request import urlretrieve
from datetime import datetime
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait 
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoAlertPresentException
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

chromedriver = "chromedriver"
os.environ["webdriver.chrome.driver"] = chromedriver
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=chromedriver, chrome_options=chrome_options)
driver.get("https://www.inipec.gov.it/cerca-pec/-/pecs/companies")
driver.switch_to_default_content()
element = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector('iframe')[1]
driver.switch_to_frame(element)

driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[@id="recaptcha-anchor"]/div[1]').click()

During the execution, there is an error:

driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[@id="recaptcha-anchor"]/div1').click() AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'click'

Please, help to fix it.

Solution update (11-Feb-2020)

Using the following set of binaries:

  • Selenium v3.141.0
  • ChromeDriver v80.0
  • Chrome Version 80.0

You can use the following updated block of code as a solution:

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

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-automation"])
options.add_experimental_option('useAutomationExtension', False)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("https://www.inipec.gov.it/cerca-pec/-/pecs/companies")
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe[name^='a-'][src^='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/anchor?']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[@id='recaptcha-anchor']"))).click()

Original solution

Within the URL https://www.inipec.gov.it/cerca-pec/-/pecs/companies to invoke click() on the reCAPTCHA checkbox you need 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 solution:

    from selenium import webdriver
    from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
    from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait 
    from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
    from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
    
    options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
    options.add_argument("start-maximized")
    options.add_argument('disable-infobars')
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\chromedriver.exe', chrome_options=options)
    driver.get("https://www.inipec.gov.it/cerca-pec/-/pecs/companies")
    WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe[name^='a-'][src^='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/anchor?']")))
    WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[@class='recaptcha-checkbox goog-inline-block recaptcha-checkbox-unchecked rc-anchor-checkbox']/div[@class='recaptcha-checkbox-checkmark']"))).click()
