I am trying to make a script, which would share a particular post along some groups in Facebook. Everything is working smoothly, until choosing the group to repost the post in. I have decided to use search bar and pressing TAB + ENTER after the search to proceed with the first available option after the search Testing this manually works, I search for the group, then press tab + enter and the first group is chosen, only publishment is required after. But trying to do so with Selenium doesn't work. I can see how the scipt presses TAB, but shortly after, the search bar is being active again, so pressing ENTER doesn't do anything. try: group_input = driver.find_element( By.XPATH, '//input[contains(@placeholder, "груп") or contains(@placeholder, "group")]' ) group_input.clear() group_input.send_keys(group_name) WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located( (By.XPATH, '//input[contains(@placeholder, "груп") or contains(@placeholder, "group")]') )) time.sleep(2) group_input.send_keys(Keys.TAB) time.sleep(1) group_input.send_keys(Keys.ENTER) time.sleep(2) I cannot really understand what is the issue here, how can I do so the group after searching is selected? I tried switching by simulating the mouse click, tried to do so with execution with js script, but seems like selenium is struggling with not static elements. I am expecting the script not making the search bar active again after pressing tab. Continue reading...
