I have the following html:
<label class="control-label col-sm-4" for="bla-bla">
"Value date"
::after
</label>
<div class="col-sm-8">
<div class="row">
::before
<div class="col-sm-2>
<label class="control-label" for="bla-bla">
"Priority"
::after
</label>
</div>
::after
</div>
::after
</div>
I need to extract both the elements like "Value date" and the "Priority" element.
Here is my current solution:
elements = [f for f in driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//*[contains(#class, 'control-label')]")]
It works perfectly with the elements like "Value date", but it doesn't see the "Priority" element. I see that "Priority" is nested in the "Value date" element here. Maybe, it somehow affects the way XPATH works.
I tried adding the exact class match, but without any result:
elements = [f for f in driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//*[contains(#class, 'control-label') or #class = 'control-label']")]
Actually the XPATH was working OK. The problem was in what I was doing with the found elements next. I was extracting text by using the .text() method which doesn't always work as expected. If you experience similar problems, try using .get_attribute('innerText') and .get_attribute('textContent').

I want to use selenium to loop over a few divs on a webpage and find the content of the divs
The basic setup of the webpage looks like this:
<html>
<div data-testid="property-card">
<div data-testid="title">content 1</div>
</div>
<div data-testid="property-card">
<div data-testid="title">content 2</div>
</div>
<div data-testid="property-card">
<div data-testid="title">content 3</div>
</div>
</html>
and here is my code:
def report_results(self):
hotel_boxes = self.find_elements(By.XPATH, '//div[#data-testid="property-card"]')
for hotel in hotel_boxes:
hotel_name = hotel.find_element(By.XPATH, '//div[#data-testid="title"]').get_attribute('innerHTML')
print(hotel_name)
However, the problem is that this only prints "content 1" for three times. What am I doing wrong here?
You are almost there, the only 1 thing you are missing is a dot . at the front of XPath expression.
It should be
hotel_name = hotel.find_element(By.XPATH, './/div[#data-testid="title"]').get_attribute('innerHTML')
When using '//div[#data-testid="title"]' XPath expression it will search for the matching locator from the top of the page until it finds the first match.
While when we have that dot . it means to start searching inside the current node i.e. inside the parent element hotel
So, your entire code can be:
def report_results(self):
hotel_boxes = self.find_elements(By.XPATH, '//div[#data-testid="property-card"]')
for hotel in hotel_boxes:
hotel_name = hotel.find_element(By.XPATH, './/div[#data-testid="title"]').get_attribute('innerHTML')
print(hotel_name)
As per the given HTML:
<html>
<div data-testid="property-card">
<div data-testid="title">content 1</div>
</div>
<div data-testid="property-card">
<div data-testid="title">content 2</div>
</div>
<div data-testid="property-card">
<div data-testid="title">content 3</div>
</div>
</html>
To print the innerText of the descendant <div> tags you can use list comprehension and you can use either of the following locator strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR and text attribute:
print([my_elem.text for my_elem in driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div[data-testid='property-card'] > [data-testid='title']")])
Using XPATH and .get_attribute('innerHTML'):
print([my_elem..get_attribute('innerHTML') for my_elem in driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//div[#data-testid='property-card']/div[#data-testid='title']")])
i am trying fill the text boxes. Each time you get into the page the the number of text boxes will be different and the name of them will be different.
<div class="fb-single-line-text">
<div class="display-flex" data-test-single-line-text-input-wrap="true">
<!---->
<input name="urn:li:fs_easyApplyFormElement:(urn:li:fs_normalized_jobPosting:2620509178,30257397,numeric)" id="urn:li:fs_easyApplyFormElement:(urn:li:fs_normalized_jobPosting:2620509178,30257397,numeric)" class="ember-text-field ember-view fb-single-line-text__input" aria-required="true" aria-describedby="urn:li:fs_easyApplyFormElement:(urn:li:fs_normalized_jobPosting:2620509178,30257397,numeric)-error-message" data-test-single-line-text-input="" type="text">
</div>
</div>
the above lines are the html code of first text box
<div class="fb-single-line-text">
<div class="display-flex" data-test-single-line-text-input-wrap="true">
<!---->
<input name="urn:li:fs_easyApplyFormElement:(urn:li:fs_normalized_jobPosting:2620509178,30257389,numeric)" id="urn:li:fs_easyApplyFormElement:(urn:li:fs_normalized_jobPosting:2620509178,30257389,numeric)" class="ember-text-field ember-view fb-single-line-text__input" aria-required="true" aria-describedby="urn:li:fs_easyApplyFormElement:(urn:li:fs_norm
alized_jobPosting:2620509178,30257389,numeric)-error-message" data-test-single-line-text-input="" type="text">
</div>
</div>
So i see all of them class name in comman so i tried to get all the eemphasized textlemnts inside the class . but i could not find a possible way for it. can someone help me with that
There are multiple ways to deal with this situation.
use find_elements to find out how many input boxes are present in UI, also you could send different message to those input box.
total_no_of_input_with_div_single_line_text = len(driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.fb-single-line-text input"))
print(total_no_of_input_with_div_single_line_text)
Now you can send_keys to individual elements like this :-
total_no_of_input_with_div_single_line_text[0].send_keys('some string')
you can always change the index above from 0 to 1, 2 etc.
second in a loop like this :
for ele in driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.fb-single-line-text input"):
ele.send_keys('some value here')
other way would be to use xpath indexing to locate the element.
(//div[#class='fb-single-line-text']/descendant::input)[1]
should locate the first web element input in the page, also you have the access to change that to [2], [3] and so on..
I have a HTML code like :
<div class="A">
<div class="B"></div>
<div class="B">
<div class="C"></div>
<div class="C">
<p class="D"> Element 1 </p>
<div class="C"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="A">
<div class="B"></div>
<div class="B">
<div class="C"></div>
<div class="C">
<p class="D"> Element 2 </p>
<div class="C"></div>
</div>
</div>
(this is an example, there is more class "A")
I want to extract the text "Element 2" with Python Selenium.
I tried a lot of things but always the same result : No such element: Unable to locate element...
I tried :
elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#class='A:last-child']/p[#class='D']").text
same result...
Try this:
"(//div[#class='A']//p)[2]"
This should get the second instance of Class = "A" and then the p element beneath that
Try this xpath:
"(//div[#class='A']//p)[last()]"
The main problem with your xpath, I think, is that the single slash before the p element means to only look for direct children of the div. You want the double slash to find any descendant.
In this structure Xpath
(//div[#class="A"]//p[#class="D"])[2]
if this is a second hierarchy or
(//div[#class="A"]//p[#class="D"])[last()]
if it is a last should work
I have recently started using selenium with python and stuck with the below problem. It may be simple but I have tried a lot while searching through different answers but could not solve it.
I want to click the 2nd text box with class name 'param-text-input text-input numeric-value'
<div class="bet-widget-main-row-right">
<div class="bet-widget-main-content">
<div class="bet-params">
<div class="param-wrapper">
<span class="param-label">Label1</span>
<div class="param-input -desktop">
<div class="param with-error">
<span class="param-input-wrapper">
<span class="param-currency numeric-value">£</span>
<input type="text" class="param-text-input text-input numeric-value" value=".04" tabindex="0" size="3" maxlength="11">
</span>
</div>
<div class="param-input_ticks"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="param-wrapper">
<span class="param-label">Label2</span>
<div class="param-input -desktop">
<div class="param">
<span class="param-input-wrapper">
<input type="text" class="param-text-input text-input numeric-value" value="2.18" tabindex="0" size="4" maxlength="8">
</span>
</div>
<div class="param-input_ticks"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="bet-submit"><button class="confirm-bet-button -accented micro-button" type="submit" disabled="" tabindex="0"><span>Button1</span></button></div></div>
I have tried multiple solutions but none work:
self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//[#class='param-text-input.text-input.numeric-value'][2]").clear()
self.driver.find_element_by_css_selector("[input.param-text-input.text-input.numeric-value][2]").clear()
self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[#class='param-text-input'][2]").clear()
Any pointers/help is appreciated.
In the case that you would prefer to use a CSS selector, the following will choose that second input:
div.param-wrapper:nth-of-type(2) input.param-text-input.text-input.numeric-value
we're looking for the second "param-wrapper" because that is the thing which will correctly count the parameters.
It's pretty easy:
self.driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//input[#Class="param-text-input.text-input.numeric-value"]')[1].clear()
or
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
self.driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//input[#Class="param-text-input.text-input.numeric-value"]')[1].send_keys(Keys.BACKSPACE)
You need to make an object list in the first place. So you should find all the placeholders with the same name. Then get said item, which is the second element(list are zero based, so 1 is second)
Cheers
It is possible in XPath to select the n-th object that corresponds to your XPath expression.
To achieve this you use the [n] at the end of of your expression.
What you forgot is to put () around your expression before adding the [n].
So your XPath should be (//input[#class='param-text-input'])[2].
To click the 2nd text box with class name 'param-text-input text-input numeric-value' you can use the following code block :
self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#class='bet-params']//following-sibling::input[2]").clear()
Q: What XPath or CSS selector I can use to select 2nd <div class="checkbox">?
I have tried to use:
XPath - //div[#class="checkbox"][2]
CSS - div.checkbox:nth-child(2)
However none of them worked on chrome developer tool.
I can use $x('//div[#class="checkbox"]') to see all three checkboxes
I can use $x('//div[#class="checkbox"]')[0] to specify the 1st div.checkbox
I can use $x('//div[#class="checkbox"]')[1] to specify the 2nd div.checkbox
Here's an example of my HTML Structure
<div class="fs">
<div class="f">
<div class="checkbox">
<input type="radio" value="A">
<label for="A">A</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="f">
<div class="checkbox">
<input type="radio" value="B">
<label for="B">B</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="f">
<div class="checkbox">
<input type="radio" value="C">
<label for="C">C</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Rather than trying to find the second element by index, another possibility would be to get it by the value on the INPUT or the text in the LABEL that is contained in that DIV. A couple XPaths would be
//div[#class='checkbox'][./input[#value='B']]
//div[#class='checkbox'][./label[.='B']]
You need 2nd element from the results. Which can be done by using below
(//div[#class="checkbox"])[2]
I think CSS doesn't allow such a thing to select from a result
Since JeffC and Tarun Lalwani already suggested XPath way of doing it, I'd like to suggest a different approach.
In CSS, one can use :nth-child selector to choose 2nd <div class="f"> and grab the nested div from there. (> can be omitted)
div.f:nth-child(2) > div.checkbox
Similarly, the following works in XPath:
//div[#class='f'][2]/div[#class='checkbox']
One can choose an element based on the attribute value with CSS selector using Attribute selectors, but one cannot select the parent, unfortunately.
