Selenium python login working locally but not on Linux server

Question

I am trying to login into following website through selenium python

https://www.talentwise.com/screening/login.php

when I enter username, password and click sigin everything gets all cleared without any error message on ui.(Code is working fine locally,but not on our Linux server)

    options = Options()
    options.add_argument("--headless")
    options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
    options.add_argument("window-size=1200,1100")
    options.binary_location = "parts/chromium/chromium/chrome"
    self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(
        chrome_options=options,
        executable_path='parts/chromium/chromedriver/chromedriver',
    )
    self.driver.maximize_window()
    self.driver.get(url)
    WebDriverWait(self.driver, delay).until(
        EC.presence_of_element_located(
            (By.XPATH, "//input[@id='EmailAddr']")
        )
    ).send_keys(username)
    WebDriverWait(self.driver, delay).until(
        EC.presence_of_element_located(
            (By.XPATH, "//input[@id='Password']")
        )
    ).send_keys(password)
    WebDriverWait(self.driver, delay).until(
        EC.presence_of_element_located(
            (By.XPATH, "//input[@id='SignIn' and @type='submit' and @value='Sign In']")
        )
    ).click()

Which error did you receive? Does your script use virtualdisplay? — amarynets, Jun 15 '20 at 10:52
no, there are no errors. Just username and password fields get cleared out on clicking sigin. No not using any kind of script. — Omkar Salgaonkar, Jun 15 '20 at 10:58

To send a character sequence to the Email Address and Password field you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

Using CSS_SELECTOR:

driver.get('https://www.talentwise.com/screening/login.php')
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input#EmailAddr"))).send_keys("OmkarSalgaonkar@stackoverflow.com")
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input#Password").send_keys("OmkarSalgaonkar")
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input#SignIn").click()

Using XPATH:

driver.get('https://www.talentwise.com/screening/login.php')
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[@id='EmailAddr']"))).send_keys("OmkarSalgaonkar@stackoverflow.com")
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@id='Password']").send_keys("OmkarSalgaonkar")
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@id='SignIn']").click()

Note : You have to add the following imports :

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

Hi Debanjan, Thanks for your answer and your time really appreciated it. As you said I have already used "WebDriverWait" and I am able to Login on my local machine, But when I push my code to our Linux server it dose not (like clicking on signing button will clear my username password). Do I need some additional libs on our Linux server ? — Omkar Salgaonkar, Jun 15 '20 at 13:40
@OmkarSalgaonkar _WebDriverWait_ is a vast topic. Please go through the answer and the embedded links once again. The code block within my answer should work irrespective of [tag:os] platforms. — undetected Selenium, Jun 15 '20 at 14:05
