Failed to log into Quora using Selenium webdriver in Python
I am using Selenium module in Python to log into Quora. It works fine for Facebook, but I get an error in line send_keys('my_email')
when I try it on Quora:
I am using the following script.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('http://www.quora.com/')
time.sleep(60)
username = driver.find_element_by_name('email')
time.sleep(60)
username.send_keys('my_email')
time.sleep(60)
password = driver.find_element_by_name('password')
time.sleep(60)
password.send_keys('my_password')
time.sleep(60)
password.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
driver.close
Sleep times are not a problem here because I tried to execute the script one at a time using the Python shell.
Mistake:

The problem is that there are multiple inputs with name="email"
.
You will need a section under the "Regular Login" section:
form = driver.find_element_by_class_name('regular_login') username = form.find_element_by_name('email') username.send_keys('my_email') password = form.find_element_by_name('password') password.send_keys('my_password')
