Disclaimer - I'm not even remotely fluent with HTML, so please bear with me...

I'm automating a weekly data download process and one website (ChargePoint) displays some sort of pop-up if there is a charging sessions active at the moment. I need to close that pop-up in order to get to the main window and activate the data download. But I cannot figure out how to close the pop-up because trying to locate any element in the pop-up window fails.

I cannot figure out how to obtain the HTML to paste here, so here's a screenshot of the offending pop-up window and the corresponding HTML:

I've tried locating the "Close" button using XPATH and CLASSS_NAME; both methods fail:

close_btn = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,
                                      "//*[contains(text(), 'Close')]")))

and

close_btn = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CLASS_NAME,
                                      "sc-iHmpnF knKEkw modal-close")))

What am I doing wrong? And if it helps, how do I get the actual HTML code to paste into this post?

• The first one fails because that button does not have "Close" text. The second one fails because (I believe) By.CLASS_NAME does not allow multiple class names. See stackoverflow/q/44759907/494134 – John Gordon Commented Feb 3 at 21:27
• Thanks - any recommendation for how to obtain this button so I can click on it? – BillR Commented Feb 3 at 22:44

Using a CSS selector you could try to find the button like this:

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdrivermon.by import By
from selenium.webdriver import Chrome
from selenium.webdrivermon.action_chains import ActionChains
from seleniummon.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.webdriver.remote.webdriver import WebDriver
from selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement import WebElement

URL = "your url goes here"

def click(driver: WebDriver, e: WebElement) -> None:
    ActionChains(driver) \
        .move_to_element(e) \
        .click() \
        .perform()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    with Chrome() as driver:
        driver.get(URL)
        wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 2.5)
        ec = EC.element_to_be_clickable
        sel = By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[data-testid=modal-close]"
        try:
            button = wait.until(ec(sel))
            click(driver, button)
        except TimeoutException:
            pass  # the button may not exist so ignore the timeout
