Answer 1

To click on the desired element you can use the following solution:

• css:

  findLink(By.css("button.btn.btn-link[aria-label='Dashlet Actions']")).click
  

• XPath:

  findLink(By.xpath("//button[@class='btn btn-link' and @aria-label='Dashlet Actions']")).click
  

Note: The element is an Angular element so you have to induce ExplicitWait for the desired element to be clickable

Answer 2

Use css selector to click.

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".btn.btn-link")).click();
