[FIXED] Click ''Not now" on Instagram notifications ask using Selenium and Python

Issue

I've written a script that successfully makes the login on Instagram. When I should go on my account, at home, the website displays a popup that asks you if you want notifications. At this point, I tried a lot of solutions, but I got nothing. I just want that, when the pop-up is displayed, the script should click on "Not now".

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


ids = []

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = '/usr/local/bin/chromedriver')
driver.get("https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/?source=auth_switcher")


usm = driver.find_element_by_name('username').send_keys("**")
pwd = driver.find_element_by_name('password').send_keys("**")
btnLog = driver.find_element_by_tag_name('form').submit()

acpt = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[contains(@class, 'aOOlW   HoLwm ')]")

In the image, there's the line of the button highlighted that I want to click:

Solution

Try the following code for this:

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


ui.WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".aOOlW.HoLwm"))).click()

PS: I have used 10-second wait for the element to be clickable before click on it.

Hope it helps you!
