selenium whatsapp button search vba

Question

I have a big problem !!! After a few days of normal use suddenly I can no longer select the button key number of web whatsapp!

The environment is Chrome and I use Selenium web driver ... I'm trying to do all the searches for different tags but nothing ...

This is the code

bot.wait 4000       
bot.findElementByClassName("C28xL").Click

I also tried using different parts but nothing ... even with xpath or css but maybe I'm wrong.

Answer 1

As per the HTML you have shared the element is a dynamic element so you have to induce Wait for the element to be clickable and you can use the following solutions:

bot.wait 4000       
bot.FindElementByXPath("//input[contains(@class,'copyable-text selectable-text') and @title='Cerca o inizia una nuova chat']").Click

Note: As an enhancement you need to replae the wait by WebDriverWait
