How to click on the reCAPTCHA using Selenium and Java

Question

Why am I getting errors when trying to get the driver to click on the reCAPTCHA button?

This is the site where I am trying to get it to work: https://rsps100.com/vote/760/

This is my current code so far:

WebElement iframeSwitch = driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[1]/div/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div/form/div/div/div/div/iframe"));
driver.switchTo().frame(iframeSwitch);
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div[class=recaptcha-checkbox-checkmark]")).click();

To invoke click() on the reCaptcha checkbox as the element is within an <iframe> you need to:

Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt.
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired elementToBeClickable.

You can use the following solution:

Code Block:

public class ReCaptcha_click {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe");
        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.addArguments("start-maximized");
        options.addArguments("disable-infobars");
        options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
        driver.get("https://rsps100.com/vote/760");
        new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.xpath("//iframe[starts-with(@name, 'a-') and starts-with(@src, 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha')]")));
        new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("div.recaptcha-checkbox-checkmark"))).click();
    }
}

for my case, I had to click on 'div.rc-anchor-content' element – gtiwari333 Jan 25 '20 at 03:33
Any tips on getting through the next part? Selecting correct images etc? @KunduK – Phil Brockwell Apr 17 '21 at 15:02
As mentioned in the comments I also needed 'div.rc-anchor-content' but also the following: "//iframe[starts-with(@title, 'reCAPTCHA') and starts-with(@src, 'https://recaptcha.net')]" – Toofy Jul 14 '21 at 22:02

This worked for me. Please note that I am using Selenide. For regular selenium code look the same.

    import static com.codeborne.selenide.Selenide.*;

    void recaptchaTest() {

        open("https://rsps100.com/vote/760");

        switchTo().frame($x("//iframe[starts-with(@name, 'a-') and starts-with(@src, 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha')]"));

        $("div.rc-anchor-content").click();

        switchTo().defaultContent();

    }

Use WebDriverWait to identify the element.See if this help.

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.xpath("//iframe[starts-with(@name,'a-')]")));
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("div.recaptcha-checkbox-checkmark")));
element.click();

is my xpath right? is my cssSelector thing right? i tried with your code and my code combination --> https://pastebin.com/g1pfzduq but it said "could not find element" and a lot of red errors in console – alqqu Mar 20 '19 at 15:47
have you tried yourself? i got this error --- xpected condition failed: waiting for frame to be available: By.xpath: //iframe[starts-with(@name,'a-')] (tried for 30 second(s) with 500 milliseconds interval) --- caused by: no such element – alqqu Mar 20 '19 at 15:56
your frame is dynamic so i have written xpath like this.Copy the entire code with frame switching – KunduK Mar 20 '19 at 15:58

Here is the code that should work.

driver.switchTo().frame("a-9wt0e8vkopnm");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@id='recaptcha-anchor']")).click();

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchFrameException: No frame element found by name or id a-9wt0e8vkopnm, is what i got when i tried your code. yes, i let the website load correctly until i executed these commands but still got the error – alqqu Mar 20 '19 at 15:53
I think that's right name, but can you try with ID. – supputuri Mar 20 '19 at 16:04
