Click on pseudo element using Selenium

Question

I am trying to use Selenium to click on a ::after pseudo element. I realize that this cannot be done through the WebDriver directly, but cannot seem to figure out a way to d

Answer 1

For those who are trying to do this in Python, the solution is below:

elem= driver. ActionChains(driver).move_to_element_with_offset(elem,249,1).click().perform()

Basically here I'm finding my element in the DOM and assigning to a WebElement. The WebElement is then passed the method move_to_element_with_offset as a param.

I got the px values for the element from developer tools.

PS: use this import- from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains

You can read more about Action chain class and its method move_to_element_with_offset here: http://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/api.html.

Hope this helps.
