driver.click() works but driver.uc_click() doesn't

Hi,

Before all, thank a lot @mdmintz for all your work and help !

Quick question, about driver.click() and driver.uc_click(). I tried the following code :

driver.uc_click("#client > div > div.cards > div:nth-child(2)")

I don't have any error in the log but I expected a "click button" and it doesn't click. But if I try the following code :

driver.click("#client > div > div.cards > div:nth-child(2)")

It works, the button is clicked.

Did you ever see this behaviour with uc_click() ?

Thanks a lot !

I haven't seen that behavior. uc_click(selector) should be used to bypass detection, and that selector doesn't look like an element that would necessarily check for Selenium when clicked. Most of the time, it's a span element, but it can also be button or a.

Check to see if a console document.querySelector(selector).click() clicks the element for you. That's how the click would happen.

Hi,

Thank you so much for all the amazing work you do.

I had worked on a project in Feb, I just updated the seleniumbase version to the latest and ran the script again, and the uc_click doesn't work anymore. But the strange thing is when I downgrade to a lower version (tested on 4.25.0) it works again, but not on the latest version. Do you know what might be the issue?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I haven't seen that. The current UC Mode examples are still working for me.
