ViewsSelenium (python) to select an item in dropdown menu
I am trying to use Selenium in python to select an item "Custom date" in the following dropdown menu:
This is how the structure of divs looks like:
I try to first select the topmost div with Selenium (python) and then progress down by clicking all the way to "Custom date" (see code below). However, I get the following error in the last line of code when I try to do that:
"ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable"
My attempt to click the desired field:
time.sleep(2)
element=chrome.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='Inputreact__StyledContainer-sc-3dr67n-0 iAeYiQ Selectreact__SelectInput-sc-1shssly-0 cJLIjY' ]")
element.click()
chrome.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)
element=chrome.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@value='7 days']")
chrome.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)
element=chrome.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@value='Custom date']")
chrome.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)
EDIT: I want to provide a bit more detail. In the case of user MANUALLY using the dropdown menu, the behavior below happens (note what the relevant divs are in the picture). I am stumped because selenium clicking on the div that ends in ePfTsZ DOES NOT EXPAND the dropdown menu, as happens when user manually does it in the browser.

In this case you need to use the Select class, will look something like this:
from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select
selection = Select(chrome.find_element_by_xpath(
"//div[@class='Inputreact__StyledContainer-sc-3dr67n-0 iAeYiQ Selectreact__SelectInput-sc-1shssly-0 cJLIjY' ]"))
After this you can select any item of the dropdown by index or by visible text.
selection.select_by_index(1)
or
selection.select_by_visible_text("A month")

If you want to go through all the option of the dropdown, then run a loop on index.
