Clicking on dropdown menu element works in Pycharm but not in server

Question

There is a dropdown menu in which I need to click on the 2 item in list. So it works perfectly in Pycharm but not on server.

Code trials:

goods_count = WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '/html/body/div[6]/div[3]/div/div/div/div/main/div/div[*]/div[3]/div/div/div/ul/li[3]')))
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", goods_count)`

What could be the difference between Pycharm and server side?

Answer 1

To click on any clickable element instead of presence_of_element_located() ideally you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use the following locator strategy:

goods_count = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '/html/body/div[6]/div[3]/div/div/div/div/main/div/div/div[3]/div/div/div/ul/li[3]'))) 
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", goods_count)

In a single line:

driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '/html/body/div[6]/div[3]/div/div/div/div/main/div/div/div[3]/div/div/div/ul/li[3]'))))

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
