Automating GMAIL login using Python-Selenium

Question

I am trying to automate logging into GMail using Selenium package of Python. However, I am not able to accomplish the task and get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Surojit\Desktop\Python\automaticpasswordFiller.py", line   21, in <module>
    passwordElem = browser.find_element_by_id('Passwd')

The simple code that I have written is:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import time

browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://gmail.com')
action = webdriver.ActionChains(browser)
emailElem = browser.find_element_by_id('Email')
emailElem.send_keys("MyUserName")
browser.find_element_by_name('signIn').click()
#browser.get('https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?         service=mail&continue=https://mail.google.com/mail/#password')
passwordElem = browser.find_element_by_id('Passwd')
passwordElem.send_keys("MyPassword")
browser.find_element_by_name('signIn').click()

Also, I have tried to find out the error in my code by comparing it to an answer given to a similar question here at: Auto connect on my Gmail account with Python Selenium

Can someone please guide me on the right path and let me know where I am making a mistake?

P.S: This is my first post on stackoverflow. Please excuse me for any mistake that I have made in posting the question

Answer 1

You are trying to find the Passwd id of the element which is not loaded in dom yet. Try adding some delay so that the page could load.

emailElem = browser.find_element_by_id('Email')
emailElem.send_keys('MyUserName')
nextButton = browser.find_element_by_id('next')
nextButton.click()
time.sleep(1)
passwordElem = browser.find_element_by_id('Passwd')
passwordElem.send_keys('MyPassword')
signinButton = browser.find_element_by_id('signIn')
signinButton.click()

recommended method is browser.implicitly_wait(num_of_seconds) see this

In 2020 signing in with Gmail is much more tougher because Gmail takes selenium operated window as a bot window and will give a message like this one.img of error

But now I have found a successful way to log in without any error or warning by google.

you can log in to another website as google will accept it as secure login using another website like StackOverflow or some other website with Gmail login.

def gmail_sign_in(email, password):
    driver = webdriver.Chrome()

    driver.get('https://stackoverflow.com/users/signup?ssrc=head&returnurl=%2fusers%2fstory%2fcurrent')

    driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="openid-buttons"]/button[1]').click()

    driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="identifierId"]').send_keys(email)

    input = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
        EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[@id="identifierNext"]/span/span'))
    )
    input.click()

    driver.implicitly_wait(1)

    driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="password"]/div[1]/div/div[1]/input').send_keys(password)

    input = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
        EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[@id="passwordNext"]/span/span'))
    )
    input.click()
    driver.implicitly_wait(1)
    driver.get('https://www.google.com/')

hope the code is understandable just this function and put your email and password make sure you have the appropriate imports.

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

I hope that, it will be helpful for automate the gmail in updated chrome version.

from selenium import webdriver
import time


driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("http://gmail.com")

driver.find_element_by_id("identifierId").send_keys('your mail id')
driver.find_element_by_id("identifierNext").click()
time.sleep(5)
driver.find_element_by_name("password").send_keys('your password')
driver.find_element_by_id("passwordNext").click()
time.sleep(5)

driver.get("https://accounts.google.com/SignOutOptions?hl=en&continue=https://mail.google.com/mail&service=mail")
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//button[normalize-space()="Sign out"]').click()
driver.close()
