• Is that your working example? The URL provided (google./testsite) generates a 404. – Joao Pereira Commented Feb 25, 2019 at 16:48
• Would you please check the element with classname "acceder" exist before you click?? Or would you post your HTML here? – Robin Ding Commented Feb 25, 2019 at 16:49
• driver.get('exclusivetravelerclub./en/…); ............ that is the currect url, this lies on that it doesnt event do anything after the page is loaded – walter alexander Commented Feb 25, 2019 at 16:54
• From my understanding, you're trying to access the element whose class name is boton acceder. However, there are multiple elements with that class name, and therefore you will need to use the xpath() method. Try replacing By.className('acceder')) with By.xpath("(//button[@class='boton acceder'])[1]"). I cannot predict which index will do the trick, you'll have to try it yourself. – Joao Pereira Commented Feb 25, 2019 at 17:24
• 1 Been over this for a few hours, and managed to get the username field filled but it would get stuck in the password step. It's odd because by calling the getText() function, an empty string is returned, even if the object exists. By the way, the consideration I made about multiple objects with the same class name, also exists with the ID, since 2 elements share both the username and password IDs. – Joao Pereira Commented Feb 25, 2019 at 20:50

Sorted by: Reset to default 2

These locators worked for me for the url you shared:

driver.findElement(By.xpath('(//input[@id="username"])[2]')).sendKeys('test@emal');
driver.findElement(By.xpath('(//input[@id="password"])[2]')).sendKeys('passowrod');
driver.findElement(By.xpath('(//button[@class="boton acceder"])[2]')).click();

The reason for using 2nd index for all the elements is that the same elements are in HEADER which are hidden.

Note: I tried these in python, so please adjust if any string syntax error.

The problem: While running the automation, the window size is is not fully presented on screen so some elements are rendered outside of the visible area in your configured chrome web driver.

The solution would be using this snippet in your base configuration:

browser.driver.manage().window().maximize();
