Python Selenium .click method doesn't work

Question

I am trying to click a button with the .click method, but if I type .cl, my IDE doesn’t even suggest the .click function. The Chrome window opens but then after that, Python throws an error. I added two pictures - in the first, you can see my code, and in the second, you can see the error that is thrown:

the two windows

find_elements_by_xpath will return a list. You'll want to run click on an element in the list returned by that method — mayankmehtani

it's important to note that Python is not case-insensitive; the function should be click() not Click() — Mangohero1

As you can see from the error, Python tries to access the Click attribute for a list object. This is happening because the .find_elements_by_xpath() method returns a list.

Therefore, the solution for your problem would be to pull an item from that list and use the click method on it, rather than on the list itself.

if there's only element could use find_element_by_xpath() instead of find_elements_by_xpath()

True, although OP didn't specify a guarantee that it will return only 1 element.
