Python Selenium + Datepicker Click

Question

I have been banging my head around trying to get the price of a room like this for example by clicking the first available (green) datepicker checkin input and then clicking

Answer 1

One tricky thing about this calendar is that you first need to hover a particular day and then relocate the active day and click it. Here is a working implementation that selects the first available start and end dates and prints the calculated price:

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


driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.maximize_window()

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)

url = 'https://www.homeaway.pt/arrendamento-ferias/p1418427a?uni_id=1590648'
driver.get(url)

# pick start date
start_date = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".quotebar-container input[name=startDateInput]")))
start_date.click()

first_available_date = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#ui-datepicker-div td.full-changeover > a")))
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(first_available_date).perform()
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#ui-datepicker-div td.full-selected.full-changeover > a").click()

# pick end date (TODO: violates DRY principle, refactor!)
end_date = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".quotebar-container input[name=endDateInput]")))
end_date.click()

first_available_date = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#ui-datepicker-div td.full-changeover > a")))
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(first_available_date).perform()
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#ui-datepicker-div td.full-selected.full-changeover > a").click()

# get the calculated price
price = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".price-quote .price-total")))
print(price.text)

driver.close()

At the moment, it selects 20/04/2016 and 23/04/2016 and prints 180€.

Hope that helps.
