    <input type="hidden" name="start_date" value="">
    <input type="hidden" name="end_date" value="">
  </div>
</div>

Using all the locators including absolute Xpath, I am unable to click on date text box. I have also tried using TABS, javascript click and Actions.

    The issue you are facing is because the window (pop-up) you are trying to acess isn’t handled as the same of the basic webpage, in short selenium can’t see it because it’s counted as an Add-on.

    you can try the following:

    1. This method gets the instance of the pop-up window.
      driver.window_handles[1]:

    2. This method switches to the given pop-up window.
      driver.switch_to.window(handle):

    Are you sure your element locator doesn’t return something unexpected like a different type or a List[]?

    print(str(driver.find_element(By.NAME, 'report_range')))
print(str(driver.find_element(By.ID, 'repDateRange')))
