Click don't working for enabled element in Selenium

I want that some element on page has been clicked. But Selenium click doesn't working. This part of my code:

username_form = driver.find_element_by_id('form3-username')
    password_form = driver.find_element_by_id('form3-password')
    username_form.send_keys('SomeLogin')
    password_form.send_keys('SomePass')
    driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='one-factor']/button").click()
    element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
        EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,  "//div/a[@id='notify-toggle' and not(@disabled)]"))
    )
    element.click()

and part the page I'm processing:

<a id="notify-toggle" class="toggle link">
    <span title="Уведомления" class="data-count" data-count="0" data-icon="">
    </span>
</a>

Promlem is element.click() doesn't working. i got acquainted with some solution of my problem, but that I find didn't work for me. I trying use xpath expression with not (@disabled) and other solutions, but no one was helpful for me. I have no idea whatsoever why click is not working and I'll be glad to any hints

Target the inner <span> inducing WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

  • Using CSS_SELECTOR:

    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a.toggle.link#notify-toggle span.data-count:not(disabled)[title][data-icon]"))).click()
    
  • Using XPATH:

    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[@class='toggle link' and @id='notify-toggle']//span[@class='data-count' and @title][@data-icon and not(@disabled)]"))).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
