How to fix an error when clicking on a website?

Question

Python

Good afternoon everyone. There is a Python script that parses this page:
https://www.flashscore.ru/
Clicks on each match and displays the link and date of each match.
Since clicking on a match opens a new browser, the code says to return to the previous window every time.
The code:

import time
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\Users\\iljal\\PycharmProjects\\parsingg\\chromedriver") # здесь указать путь к chromedriver он обычно в той же папке где и Ваш проект
driver.get('https://www.flashscore.ru/')
time.sleep(3) # C:\Users\iljal\PycharmProjects\parsingg\chromedriver

arr = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector(
    ".event__match.event__match--scheduled.event__match--oneLine"
)


# optional (if you are not satisfied with the download speed)
driver.set_page_load_timeout(0.5)


for channel in arr:
    try:
        channel.click()
    except TimeoutException:
        print("data not received. need more time in driver.set_page_load_timeout")
        continue

    driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[arr.index(channel)+1])

    html = driver.page_source
    soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')

    almost_time = soup.find('div', class_='description__time mstat-date').get_text(strip=True)
    res_time = almost_time.split()
    time = res_time[-1]

    link = driver.current_url
    print(link)
    print(time)
    driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[0])

But for some reason, after the 17th match (LASK / STORM), PyCharm displays an error that this place is not clickable:

selenium.common.exceptions.ElementClickInterceptedException: Message: element click intercepted: Element <div id="g_1_GzZFvoYt" title="Подробности матча!" class="event__match event__match--scheduled event__match--last event__match--oneLine">...</div> is not clickable at point (531, 814). Other element would receive the click: <p id="onetrust-policy-text">...</p>
  (Session info: chrome=83.0.4103.97)

Tell me what's wrong? The next match is clickable, why is he cursing? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Some elements are not immediately available, so you need to set up an implicit wait.

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

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://somedomain/url_that_delays_loading")
try:
    element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
        EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "myDynamicElement"))
    )
finally:
    driver.quit()
