Doubt Filling a Combo-Box with Selenium and Python

Question

I’m trying to automate a routine but I’m not getting ahead on a part I have to select a combobox from a page with Selenium.

The field I want to fill in is as follows,

In all fields until I got here, I was able to navigate with "find_element_by_id", but in this case it does not work.

Last attempt I made was with "find_element_by_xpath" but without success.

    from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

Chrome_exe = r'C:\Projetos\Integração\chromedriver.exe'

user = "xxxxxxx"
pwd = "xxxxxxx"

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=Chrome_exe)
driver.get("https://xxxxxxxxx/#/login?to=~2Ffollow_up~2Factual_budget")
elem = driver.find_element_by_id("username")
elem.send_keys(user)
elem = driver.find_element_by_name("password")
elem.send_keys(pwd)
elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath("html/body/div/div/div/fildset/div/div/div/select").click();

It returns the following error,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nosuchelementexception Traceback (Most recent call last) in -----> 1 elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath("html/body/div/div/div/fildset/div/div/div/select"). click();

Can anyone help me? Grateful!

Pedro to use xpath you need to inform the position where it is on the page for example here:

 elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath("html/body/div/div/div/fildset/div/div/div/select").click();

would look something like this:

elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath("html/body/div/div/div/fildset/div/div/div/select[1]").click();`

You can get more support here if needed: https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/locating-elements.html
