Python/Selenium - Cant click' Accept cookies' button on www.instagram.com

Question

Im trying to login on instagram using python selenium. But i have to Accept the cookies in order to continue.

This is my code

class InstaBot:
    def __init__(self, username, pw):
        self.driver = webdriver.Chrome()
        self.driver.get('https://www.instagram.com/')
        sleep(2)
 #this is the code that im trying to use, so to click the accept button 
self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[2]/div/div/div/div[2]/button[1]").click() 
        self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@name=\"username\"]")\
            .send_keys(username)
        self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@name=\"password\"]")\
            .send_keys(pw)
        self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[contains(text(), 'Log in')]")\
            .click()
        sleep(4)

The problem is that when it gets to click the accept button it does nothing. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Should click the accept the login and the next two elements after it. Just wait till the element becomes clickable and then click it.

WebDriverWait(self.driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[text()='Accept']"))).click()
#Your code
WebDriverWait(self.driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#loginForm > div > div:nth-child(3) > button"))).click()  
WebDriverWait(self.driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[text()='Save Info']"))).click()
WebDriverWait(self.driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[text()='Turn On']"))).click()

Import

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait 
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Answer 2

try using this:

self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[text()='Accept']").click()
