I have the custom attribute called upgrade-test="secondary-pull mktg-data-content in the following code snippet:
<section class="dvd-pull tech-pull-- secondary-pull--anonymous tech-pull--digital secondary-pull--dvd-ping tech-pull--minimise" upgrade-test="secondary-pull mktg-data-content" data-js="primary-pull" style="--primary-direct-d_user-bottom-pos:-290px;">
I am able to identify my element successfully by doing the following:
element = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//section[contains(#upgrade-test, 'mktg-data-content')]")
This mktg-data-content gets changed every time a user goes to a different page for example it could be sales-data-content for the sales page etc.
What I am after is to find a way to retrieve this dynamic text of this custom attribute and pass it to my variable. Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks
You need to fetch the attribute value using element.get_attribute("upgrade-test") and then need to do string manipulation.
elementval = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//section[contains(#upgrade-test, 'secondary-pull')]").get_attribute("upgrade-test")
print(elementval.split(" ")[-1])
Note:- splitted with space,which returns zero based list, index -1 means the last value of the list,
since you have two elements in the list you can use this as well
print(elementval.split(" ")[1])
You need to find a unique locator for that element.
Without seeing that page we can only guess, so I can guess tech-pull--digital and secondary-pull--dvd-ping class names are making a unique combination.
If so you can use the following code:
attribute_val = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "section.tech-pull--digital.secondary-pull--dvd-ping").get_attribute("upgrade-test")
print(attribute_val.split(" ")[-1])
The first line here locates the element and retrieves the desired attribute value while the second line isolates the first part of the desired attribute value as explained by KunduK

I am trying to get specific contents of the second "datadisplaytable" is the Schedule type and Instructors name. The line below:
datadisplaytable = soup.find(class_='datadisplaytable').text
gets me the whole class which contains all other 'datadisplaytable's which I intend to loop through for the specific data that I need.
Using "Xpath" in selenium only gets me the contents of the selected path. and trying to use a for loop in selenium returns "WebElement not iterable'
Which brings me to the question,
How do I get the schedule type and Instructor.
catalog = https://prod-ssb-01.dccc.edu/PROD/bwckschd.p_disp_dyn_sched
term and subject is any.
Use find_elements_by_xpath (‘<your xpath>) not find_element_by_xpath. See the difference one is with s.
Remember find_elements return a list of web elements which you can loop through where as find_element return a single web element.
I am working on a script that aims "taking all of the entries which are written by users" under a specific title in a website(In this case, the title is "python(programlama dili"). I would like to read the number which shows the current number of pages under this specific title.
The reason behind reading the number of this elements is that number of pages can increase at the time when we run the script due to increasing number of entries by users. Thus, I should take the number which exist within the element via script.
In this case, I need to read "122" as the value and assign it to a int variable . I use Selenium to take all entries and Firefox web driver.
It Would be better if you try to access it using the xpath.
Try and get the value attribute of the element, you've mentioned you can find the element using xpath so you can do the following.
user_count = element.get_attribute('value')
If that gets you the number (as a string) then you can just convert to an int as usual
value = int(user_count)
First pick the selector .last and then you can extract the reference of that. Don't forget to split the reference.
my_val = driver.find_element_by_css_selector(".last [href]").split("p=")[1]
So I have this site and I'm trying to obtain the location and size of an element based on this xpath "//div[#class='titlu']"
How you can see that is visible and has nothing special.
Now the problem I've faced is that when I'm doing the search for xpath like this
e = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath(xpath) the location and size
of e are both 0
Also, for some reason, if I'm trying to get the text like this:
e.text is going to show me an empty string, and I need to get the actual text in this way e.get_attribute("textContain")
So do you have any idea how can I get the location and size of this element?
There are two elements matching this xpath. driver.find_element_by_xpath returns the first one while you are looking for the second one. Use the ancestor <div> with id attribute for unique xpath
"//div[#id='content-detalii']//div[#class='titlu']"
Using Selenium I would like to the value of a element in a HTML. Like the following picture shows. The value "1841" is what I would like to extract. I can find the element for the next element by:
e = b.find_element_by_xpath("//*[contains(text(), 'value_to_alert')]")
Now, the problem is I need to get the element before this element... Note that I cannot use the class name because there are a bunch of "KpiValue"s. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks.
To retrieve the text 1841 from the previous div you can use the following line of code :
text = b.find_element_by_xpath("//div[contains(.,'value_to_alert')]//preceding::div[1]").text
If I have the following HTML <a id="id" class="class" href="href">Element Text</a> how would I get "id" to be returned? My current procedure is:
print("Attribute: " + element.get_attribute('id'))
print("Property: " + element.get_property('id'))
print("Class: " + element.get_attribute('class'))
But all of those return empty strings. I am, however, able to get the text by using element.text
EDIT: Here's a more in depth explanation
I'm looking for an element but that element's ID varies. There is, however, an element linked to the element I want that I can find using it's xpath and comparing it's text to a specific text that I know beforehand. The ID of that element is something in the form of someID_XX. By taking the XX and appending it to another fixed string, I can then search for the element that I actually want. My issue is that once I get the second element (not the one I want directly, but the one that can lead me to the one I want) I can't seem to get it's ID attribute even though it seems to have one in the html. My question is, how do I get the id attribute?
For me is working with
element.get_attribute('id')
At the beginning didn't work because I selected incorrectly a hidden javascript element without id.
But if the error persist on your case, you can try this:
element.get_attribute('outerHTML')
get the DOM for the element, and then parse the html to extract the id
