[FIXED] How to Fix: Unable to locate element: method- XPath

Issue

This is the website I am trying to automate some clicks:

I have tried clicking the button using Xpath and FullXpath, but still got no luck.

This is the simple code:

w = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='chromedriver.exe',
                     chrome_options=options)

w.get("https://quillbot.com/")
time.sleep(5)
pasteXpath = "//button[contains(@class,'outlinedPrimary') and .//span[contains(text(),'Paste Text')]]"
element = w.find_element_by_xpath(pasteXpath).click()

But it fails with this message in the console:

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[@id="inOutContainer"]/div[2]/div[2]/div/div[1]/div/div/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div/div/button/span[1]/div"}

Please show me how to automate this click using selenium.

Solution

This will work:

pasteXpath = "//button[contains(@class,'outlinedPrimary') and .//span[contains(text(),'Paste Text')]]"
element = w.find_element_by_xpath(pasteXpath).click()

Don't forget to add some wait / delay before it to make sure the page is fully loaded.
