Solution 1:

As you are able to grab the element by the data-handle attribute, so you don't have to reach till the <polyline> tag. Instead, to click on the element you have to induce 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, "button[title='Close sharing menu'][aria-label='Close sharing menu'] > div[data-handle='shareButton']"))).click()
  

• Using XPATH:

  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[@title='Close sharing menu' and @aria-label='Close sharing menu']/div[@data-handle='shareButton']"))).click()
  

• Note: You have to add the following imports :

  from selenium.webdriver.support.uiimportWebDriverWaitfrom selenium.webdriver.common.byimportByfrom selenium.webdriver.supportimport expected_conditions asEC
