Selenium Webdriver: How to bypass Google "accept-cookies" dialog box

I have a really simple Selenium WebDriver project in Java where I am using FireFox driver.
My goal is to navigate to Google's page (https://www.google.com) and when prompted to accept
Cookies be able to click on the "I agree"-button to just get rid of it and continue the automation process further. But for some reason I just can't get the browser to locate it.
This is the instruction I am using currently:
package main;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class SeleniumGoogleTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
WebElement acceptButton = driver.findElement
(By.xpath("/html/body/div/c-wiz/div[2]/div/div/div/div/div[2]/form/div/div[2]"));
}
}
I don't know why the browser can't locate it and activate/enable that part of the page
with neither Implicit wait or Explicit wait. Thread.sleep() method don't seem to be the
solution either in this case.
The only error message I get when running the application is that of "Unable to locate the element".
Is it that you actually can't automate some stuff with Selenium WebDriver or have I misunderstood some important concepts here?
Much grateful for all tips !

you can handle it by update the cookies "CONSENT" delete the old one because the value is "PENDING" and Add it with the below value.
driverManager.driver.manage().deleteCookieNamed ("CONSENT");
driverManager.driver.manage().addCookie(new Cookie("CONSENT","YES+shp.gws-"+LocalDate.now().toString().replace("-","")+"-0-RC2.en+FX+374"));
driverManager.driver.navigate().refresh();

The popup is located on an iFrame, first you have to switch to the iFrame:
driver.switchTo().frame(yourFrame);
after you can find the accept button, and click it:
driver.findElement(By.id("id")).click();

I've used the same solution as Jus, but Chrome had 'I agree' button id changed since then
Here how updated solution should look like
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
import time
driver = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('https://google.com/xhtml')
time.sleep(2) # seconds until popup appears
try: # 2 different popups
frame = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="cnsw"]/iframe') #<-locating chrome cookies consent frame
driver.switch_to.frame(frame)
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="introAgreeButton"]').click()#<-looking for introAgreeButton button, but seems google has changed its name since and it only works in old chrome versions.
except NoSuchElementException:
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="L2AGLb"]').click() #<- pay attention to new id.
In case if this id will expire, I recommend you to inspect element yourself like this:
Inspect Element
Click twice 'Inspect element'
Locating 'I agree' button's id

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
import time
driver = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('https://google.com/xhtml')
time.sleep(2) # seconds until popup appears
try: # 2 different popups
frame = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="cnsw"]/iframe')
driver.switch_to.frame(frame)
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="introAgreeButton"]').click()
except NoSuchElementException:
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="zV9nZe"]').click()

Java - Selenium Firefox Driver - cannot click on link in iframe

Any help would be much appreciated.
I want my program to log into indeed.ca (this is working, as long as you enter correct user credentials), navigate to a specific job posting(working), click on the first orange apply button(working), an iframe pops up.
Then I want to click on the blue apply button in iframe that appears. "apply with a different resume?" link (if you are not logged in with indeed you won't see this.)
If you don't have an indeed account, and want to help, just try to click on any link in the pop-up iframe. Example: try to click "Create one now" link
The below code worked 2 weeks ago, but now it seems Indeed.ca made a minor change to site and code is broken

//don't believe this is working now - below used to switch to correct pop-up iframe
driver.switchTo().frame(1);
driver.switchTo().frame(0);
//not working anymore -- click "apply with a different resume?" link
driver.findElement(By.xpath("\"//*[#id=\\\"form_container\\\"]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/p/a\"")).click();
//no longer reach below steps
//click on resume "choose file" button and upload resume

//click blue apply button
driver.findElement(By.id("apply-div")).click();

catch(Exception e){

}
// driver.quit();
}
}

You need to switch first to perform any action inside iframe elements
The code to switch to element is :-
driver.switchTo().frame(0);
In above code 0 is a index. so it will swicth control to first iframe present in your DOM. You may need to change the index 1,2,.. so on . There another paramenetrs also to switch to frame without index
Basically, we can switch over the elements in frames using 3 ways.
By Index
By Name
Id By Web Element
Refer below URL for more information

https://www.guru99.com/handling-iframes-selenium.html
Hope it will help you :)

Try using below code and lets see if it works for you-
driver.switchTo().frame("page_frame");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id="form_container"]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/p/a")).click();
update-
driver.switchTo().frame("indeedapply-modal-preload-iframe");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id="form_container"]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/p/a")).click();
update 2-
I found an iframe inside another iframe. So, first you need to switch to the outer iframe then to inner iframe and then to the element.
Possible solutions-
driver.switchTo().frame("indeedapply-modal-preload-iframe");
driver.switchTo().frame(0);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id="form_container"]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/p/a")).click();
OR
driver.switchTo().frame(0);
driver.switchTo().frame(0);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id="form_container"]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/p/a")).click();

webdriver is not able to click on a hyperlink in firefox

package testproject;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class WeblinkTest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
// Creating a fierfox driver/window
WebDriver driver= new FirefoxDriver();
//Assigning address of the webpage which you want to check
driver.get("https://www.google.co.in/");
Thread.sleep(2000);
//Creating and Identifing--By.xpath the element on which you want testing
WebElement wb1= driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='gb']/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]"));
wb1.click();
Thread.sleep(2000);
}
}
Today i was trying to test a gmail link which is available on Google homepage(www.google.co.in). I am able to launch a fierfox window and also it is able to do the first step which is taking me to google homepage but after that nothing is happening neither i am getting any run time error or any exception from eclipse. Don't know what is going on with the webdriver.
I was facing problem with one more program which i already posted on stakwave so if u can then please have a look at this link-Why my test is throwing Exception-Unable to locate element in webdriver?

Please try below. It should work
List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElement(By.LinkText("Gmail"))
elements.get(0).click().

Try with implimentig implicit wait after driver initializes. by adding below line
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(50, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

The XPATH in the code is DIV element but you want to click on ANCHOR Gmail So update the xpath for ANCHOR and click on it.

I have tested the below code,it clicks on GMAIL link on google page,if your question is solved then select as answer
WebDriver driver= new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.co.in/");
WebElement wb1= driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='gb']/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/a"));
wb1.click();

This should work,
new WebDriverWait(driver,30).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.linkText("Gmail"))).click();

I have posted this question in Jan saying that the web-driver was not able to click on the hyperlink and just now i got the solution.
Actually the xpath for the hyperlink was not accurate.
I had used this xpath-
.//*[#id='gb']/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]
which was locating the logo but not the button.
Today i changed it by
.//*[#id='gb']/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/a
and now its working absolutely fine.
Please don't be angry on me because i was going through the questions which i had asked from the forum and found this question. I got the solution for the problem thats why i am sharing this.

{
File file = new File("C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/32- bit_IEDriverServer_Win32_2.31.0/IEDriverServer.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", file.getAbsolutePath());
DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer(); caps.setCapability("ignoreZoomSetting", true);
driver=new InternetExplorerDriver(caps);
driver.get(baseUrl + "/");
driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfq")).clear();
driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfq")).sendKeys("harshal kakade");
driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfb")).click();
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Harshal Kakade - India | LinkedIn")).click ();

try to look at the internet options -> security and uncheck "Enable Protected Mode". Probably there is the problem.

new Select(driver.findElement(By.name("pay_month"))).selectByVisibleText("January");
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Monthly Tax Report")).click();
driver.findElement(By.name("g_title")).sendKeys("Test1");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[#value='Download']")).click();
When selenium clicks on download link a pop-up window appears which contains two radio buttons by default the radio button is clicked on for open with option now i need to switch that radio button into save as option and click on OK button .
When i click on OK button the the pdf file should be saved in some specific local drives .
For this i have used the below code but it is not working.
//Before opening pop-up get the main window handle
String mainWindowHandle=driver.getWindowHandle();
//open the pop-up window(i.e click on element which causes open a new window)
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[#value='Download']")).click();
//Below code returns all window handles as set
Set s = driver.getWindowHandles();
Iterator ite = s.iterator();
while(ite.hasNext())
{
String popupHandle=ite.next().toString();
if(!popupHandle.contains(mainWindowHandle))
{
driver.switchTo().window(popupHandle);
}
So please help me in providing code for this,
I had a doubt whether the downloaded pdf file can be opened and read line by line and can compare some text present in that or not,is this possible ??

The short answer: This has been asked many times, please search.
The long and more correct answer: As of now (2012/11), it can't be done via WebDriver. It's one of the most requested features for the Selenium project. You can try one of these things:
Make a request for the specified link using HttpURLConnection or Apache HttpComponents. You can even download the file this way, although the usual practice is just to assert a 200 OK response to make sure that the file can be downloaded (since you usually don't really need the file when you're testing your application).
Snatch the file using any Java approach. Or this tool made by someone to be used with Selenium.
Use the Robot class to simply press Down arrow and Enter or something. But beware, this will only work for your particular browser and OS. It will break on any other configuration.

In firefox you can fix this by adding the following code to the setUp method of your selenium tests.
profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/pdf,application/x-pdf");
If you have other types of documents you want to download other than pdfs you should look up the MIME type of whatever document you are trying to download and adding it to the comma delimited list.
