Clicking on svg using selenium python

Question

svg icon is clickable.

<div class="some-class">
    <svg aria-label="Search" class="some-icon" width="24" height="24" fill="#000" viewBox="0 0 24 24">
        <path d="M9.5,...,5 9.5,5Z">
        </path>
    </svg>
</div>

Sample code:

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome(CHROME_DRIVER_LOCATION)
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="SearchForm"]/div[1]/span/div[1]/div[2]/svg/path').click()

Error:

no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[@id="SearchForm"]/div[1]/span/div[1]/div[2]/svg/path"}

Answer 1

To click() on the svg icon you can use the following solution:

driver.find_element_by_xpath('//div[@class="some-class"]/*[name()="svg"][@aria-label="Search"]').click()
