I just want to say that I am new to Python/Selenium and I've been googling and wracking my head for hours now.
I am trying to extract a value from an element from the website we use for creating tickets at work. The thing is, the element with the ticket number has no ID and I cannot seem to be able to single it out using its other attributes.
The HTML for the elements is as follows:
<span class = "custom-field__value ng-binding ng-scope"
ng -
if = "!$parent.editMode && data.value" tooltip = ""
ng - bind - html = "((status.isCollapsed) ? (data.value | securelinky : '_blank')) || ('customField.label.noValue' | i18n)"> INC22963815
</span>
So, I want to get the INC22963815 from the element.
I tried with
ticket = driver.find_element_by_class("custom-field__value ng-binding ng-scope")
ticket = driver.find_elements_by_class("custom-field__value ng-binding ng-scope")
for number in ticket:
print(number.get_attribute("innerText"))
but I get nothing.
But when I tried with
ticket = driver.find_elements_by_tag_name("SPAN")
for number in ticket:
print(number.get_attribute("innerText"))
I found the text I am looking for, but it also outputs almost everything else on the page, so it is not very useful.
So now I am resorting to asking the question myself. I need help just to single out that one element. Thank you in advance.
Have you considered using the element's XPATH? You can use the Chropath plugin https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chropath/ljngjbnaijcbncmcnjfhigebomdlkcjo, to get the element's XPath.
You can then do something like
driver.find_element_by_xpath("xpath_string_here")
Let me know if this helps!
I see you are using class name (that has spaces in it). Class name does not support spaces. so that's why it did not work. Moreover it's just a combination of multiple class separated by a space.
consider changing it to css selector :-
ticket = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("span.custom-field__value.ng-binding.ng-scope")
P.S :- it's not recommended to use automatic xpath or css generated by browser built in tools.

I am currently trying to click each button on a webpage with Selenium in Python, the class and text is always the same for each button but each button has different ids. The ids, however, are within "data-paramaters" in {} and I can't figure out how to get the correct syntax for the xpath.
Here is a snippet of the website for one of the buttons:
<span class="contains-icon-details gc-btn gc-btn--s" data-isneededpromise="false" data-parameters="{"partner":"gs", "realId": "8da1d6a9-44d1-4556-bc12-92699749a30a", "tnId": "102086182829", "type": "details"}">More Details</span>
It seems the realId and the tnId are unique, so I would need to find the buttons with either one of those.
This works:
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[#class='contains-icon-details gc-btn gc-btn--s']").click()
but of course only for the first button as the class is always the same.
I tried something like this:
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[contains(#tnId, '102086182829')]").click()
but I get
Unable to locate element: //*[contains(#tnId, '102086182829')]
so definitely not the correct syntax.
I tried to find a solution online, but with no luck so far. Can anybody point me into the right direction? Thanks in advance.
In case realId value or tnId value is unique your XPath can be
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[contains(#data-parameters, '8da1d6a9-44d1-4556-bc12-92699749a30a')]").click()
or
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[contains(#data-parameters, '102086182829)]").click()
you should filter by the "data-parameters" attribute.
Try
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[contains(#data-parameters, '102086182829')]").click()
This is a dirty implementation of what you need. It would be better to extract the data-parameters field, deserialize JSON and check for the needed field;
spans = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[#class='contains-icon-details gc-btn gc-btn--s']")
for span in spans:
data_parameters = span.get_attribute("data-parameters")
try:
data_parameters = json.loads(data_parameters)
except:
continue
if 'tnId' in data_parameters and data_parameters['tnId'] == "102086182829":
span.click()
break
Python newbie here. All of 1 month old. Most of the elements in page i am trying to scrape, i am able to handle them and interact with them. there are two elements that have dynamic labels which i am not able to handle. The source page looks as below
<span class="a-button-inner">
<input class="a-button-input" type="submit" aria-labelledby="Ae8MCi-55">
<span id="Ae8MCi-55" class="a-button-text" aria-hidden="true">Add Your Key</span>
</span>
Upon each refresh the label is new so i cannot get a fixed XPATH of that. There are multiple items with span class "a-button-inner" as well as input class "a-button-input" and there are other submit buttons as well in the rest of the page. The only thing unique is the Span text "Add Your Key".
Appreciate all help to get the submit button element and to click/submit it.
from selenium import webdriver
.

.
# objAddKey = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="Ae8MCi-55"]/span/input') does not work as second round its a different XPath
objAddKey = driver.find_element_by_link_text('Add Your Key') # hoping this will get a sibling and then to get the parent and then look for all the children. I don't even know if its possible in python.
objAddKey.click()'
Tried to search for searching by span text, and came across some other stuff,
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/how-to-get-text-found-between-span-selenium
WebElement l = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//p/span"));
String s = l.getText();
but this does not help either.
https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/locating-elements.html
went through this, but not much help either.
Appreciate your help and pointers.
Thank you.
If Add Your Key is unique then you can use the below xpath :
//span[contains(text(), 'Add Your Key')]//preceding-sibling::input[#class='a-button-input']
or even without class :
//span[contains(text(), 'Add Your Key')]//preceding-sibling::input
and use it like this :
objAddKey = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[contains(text(), 'Add Your Key')]//preceding-sibling::input")
objAddKey.click()
I would suggest you to have explicit waits for more reliability.

I am trying to get the product's seller yet it will not get the text. I assume this is some weird thing since the text is also a link. Any help?
Python Code:
self.sold_by = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('#sellerProfileTriggerId').text
HTML Element:
SKUniverse
Try like this:
self.sold_by = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('#sellerProfileTriggerId')
text_element=self.sold_by.text
print(text_element)
Also, why aren't you using xpath or id selectors! Just asking :)
I'm trying to get string:
Liquidity (Including Fees)
from line
<div class="sc-bdVaJa KpMoH css-1ecm0so">Liquidity (Including Fees)</div>
I've tried these below
none of them gave me the string that I want:
usdbaslik = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("[class='sc-bdVaJa KpMoH css-1ecm0so']")
print(usdbaslik.text,":---text")
print(usdbaslik.tag_name,":---tag_name")
print(usdbaslik.id,":---id")
print(usdbaslik.size,":---size")
print(usdbaslik.rect,":---rect")
print(usdbaslik.location,":---location")
print(usdbaslik.location_once_scrolled_into_view,":---location_once_scrolled_into_view")
print(usdbaslik.parent,":---parent")
print(usdbaslik.screenshot_as_png,":--screenshot_as_png")
print(usdbaslik.screenshot_as_base64,":--screenshot_as_base64")
print(usdbaslik.__class__,":--__class__")
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
There is (at least) one other element with that class on the page, so it's not a unique selector. The closest thing I was able to find to a unique selector looking at the page would be
usdbaslik = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//div[#class="sc-VigVT fKQdIL"]//div[#class="sc-bdVaJa KpMoH css-1ecm0so"]')[0])
Then you can get the text from the label with
print(usdbaslik.get_attribute('innerText'))
I'm trying to click the following link using selenium.
<div id="RECORD_2" class="search-results-item">
<a hasautosubmit="true" oncontextmenu="javascript:return IsAllowedRightClick(this);" class="smallV110" href="#;cacheurlFromRightClick=no"></a>
</div>
Which record to click is not known before the code is executed. Record_2 has multiple children, and the one included is the one I want to click. The link is edited for the sake of privacy. I tried to do something like that where name is the record variable, however it doesn't work.
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("css=div#"RECORD_%s" % (name).smallV110")
I'm a complete newbie to selenium so I couldn't figure out a way to sort this out. I would appreciate any help. Thanks!
Note that this is not Selenium IDE and you don't need the css= at the beginning of a selector.
There are multiple ways to locate the link element, e.g.:
driver.find_element_by_css_selector(".search-results-item a.smallV110")
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("[id^=RECORD] a.smallV110") # id starts with "RECORD"
If you know the id value beforehand:
id_i_know = 2
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("[id=RECORD_%d] a.smallV110" % id_i_know)
You don't have to have that smallV110 class attribute check - I've added it to increase chances of not matching other a elements inside the div (not sure what they are, you have not posted the entire HTML).
