Context
While trying to click a delete button belonging to a GitHub personal access token (PAT) with a certain description, using Selenium in Python. I am able to find the description and the ID of the PAT. However the button itself does not contain any reference to the id. Only the form that is spawned after clicking the button contains that reference. So to find out how to click the right button, I thought I would be able to find the button within the <div id="access-token-836771760" class="access-token js-revoke-item ".. element. However, most solutions that are able to search elements within elements, require one to know the xpath of this entry. I do not know the xpath of the parent element, because I find this element based on the token description. Apparently it is not practical to get the xpath of an element, once you have the element in Selenium.

Question
How could I click the delete button belonging to the access-token-836771760 class in Python using Selenium?
Approach
I can find the delete buttons with:
danger_button = website_controller.driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR,'btn-danger.btn-sm.btn')
print_attributes_of_elements(danger_button,website_controller)
def print_attributes_of_elements(elements,website_controller):
for elem in elements:
attrs = website_controller.driver.execute_script('var items = {}; for (index = 0; index < arguments[0].attributes.length; ++index) { items[arguments[0].attributes[index].name] = arguments[0].attributes[index].value }; return items;', elem)
pprint(attrs)
However, within those buttons, I do not know which button is the right one.
If you already have the <div id="access-token-836771760" class="access-token js-revoke-item ".. element it should be as easy as that:
# get div by description (you already have your div)
div = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//a[normalize-space(text())='Test']//ancestor::div[#data-type='token']")
# click delete button
button = div.find_element(By.XPATH, ".//summary")
button.click()
You don't need to know the XPATH if you already have the reference to the div.
Edit:
I am already using a method to find an element within an element here.
You just need to call WebElement.find_element(By.XPATH, ".//tag").
Have a look at the XPath Syntax.
Firstly, the . selects the current node (WebElement). The // selects nodes in the document from the current node that match the selection. I think that is exactly what you want.
In the end, I was able to get the xpaths relative to another element of which I knew the xpath, by manually analysing what the xpath change pattern was. Still a general method to find elements within an element, would be appreciated.

I'm new to Selenium and I'm trying to write my first real script using the package for Python.
I'm using:
Windows 10
Python 3.10.5
Selenium 4.3.0
So far I've been able to do everything I need with different selectors, like ID, name, XPATH etc.
However I've stumbled upon an issue where I need to find a specific element by using the innerHTML of it.
The issue I'm facing is that I need to find an element with the innerHTML-value of "Changed" as seen in the HTML below.
The first challenge I'm facing is that the element doesn't have a unique ID, name or otherwise to identify it and there's many objects/elements of "dlx-treeview-node".
The second challenge is that XPATH won't work because the element changes position depending on where you are on the website (the number of "dlx-treeview-node"-elements change), so if I use XPATH I'll get the wrong element depending on where I am.
I can successfully get the name by using the below XPATH, "get_attribute" and printing to console, which is why I know it's innerHTML and not innerText, but as mentioned this will change depending on where I am on the website.
I would really appreciate any help I can get to solve this challenge and to learn more about the use of Selenium with Python.

Edit-1:
NOTE: I'm not sure I'm using the correct terms for HTML, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
I've learned that I have a follow up question:
How do I search for the text as described, but only searching in the "dlx-treeview-node" (there's about 100 of these)? So basically searching in the "children" of these.
The question is because I've learned that there are more elements with the specific text I'm searching for in other places.
Edit-2/solution:
I ended up finding my own solution before I received answers - I'm writing it here in case it can help anyone else.
The reply that is marked as "answer" is because this came the closest to what I needed.
The final code ended up like this (first searching the nodes - then searching the children for the specific innerHTML):
select_filter_name = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//dlx-treeview-node[.//div[text()='Changed']]")))
Presuming the innerText of the <div> element as a unique text within the HTML DOM to locate the element with the innerHTML as Changed you can use either of the following xpath based locator strategies:
Using xpath and text():
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[text()='Changed']")))
Using xpath and contains():
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[contains(., 'Changed')]")))
just run this code on your page and you will get an array of all elements which are a div with the value of Changed
# Define XPath Function (used in the next step)
driver.execute_script("function getXPathOfElement(elt) {var path = "";for (; elt && elt.nodeType == 1; elt = elt.parentNode) { idx = getElementIdx(elt); xname = elt.tagName; if (idx > 1) xname += "[" + idx + "]"; path = "/" + xname + path;} return path;}")
# Get all XPaths for all nodes which are a div with the text of "changed"
xpaths = driver.execute_script("return Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(\"div\")).find(el => el.textContent.includes('Changed')).map((node)=>{ return getXPathOfElement(node)});');
write up
the first execute adds a javascript function to the dom called getXPathOfElement this function accepts a html node element and will provide the xpath string for said node.
the second execute gets all elements which are a div with the text of Changed this will then loop through each element and then provide you with an array of strings, where each string is an xpath by calling the above getXPathOfElement function on each node.
the js is quite simple and harmless.
Tips
check if xpaths length is more than or equal to 1
index xpaths such as xpaths[0] or do loops to make your changes
you will now have an xpath which can be used like a normal selector.
good luck
Edit 1
execute_script() synchronously executes JavaScript in the current window/frame.

I would like to navigate through a website, find an element and print it.
Python version: 3.10; Selenium Webdriver: Firefox; IDE: PyCharm 2021.3.2 (CE);
OS: Fedora 35 VM
I am able to navigate to the appropriate page where the text is generated in a drop down menu.
When I locate the element by CSS Selector and attempt to print it, the output does print the text "None".
I would like it to print the Plan Name which in this case is "Dual Complete Plan 1".
The element is not always present so I also need to catch any exceptions.
The relevant HTML code of the element I am trying to print:
<span class="OSFillParent" data-expression="" style="font-size: 12px; margin-top: 5px;">Dual Complete Plan 1</span>
More of the HTML code of the element I am trying to print (element I am trying to capture is below the fourth div):

</td>
My relevant Selenium code:
# Find the Plan Name & if present set it to the variable "Advantage"
try:
Advantage = (WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(
EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#b8-b40-l1_0-132_0-b2-Title > span:nth-child(1)"))).get_attribute("value"))
except:
pass
print('\033[91;46m', Advantage, '\033[0m')
I expect the output to be "Dual Complete Plan 1", which is what I see on the screen and in the HTML. Instead I get the following:
None
Apparently the "Advantage" variable is being set to "None".
Why?
I can see the text "Dual Complete Plan 1" that I want to print in the HTML code above.
What am I doing wrong?
I feel like I need a primer on "get attribute"?
To get the text Dual Complete Plan 1 you need to use
element.text
or
element.get_attribute("innerHTML")
or
element.get_attribute("textContent")
Instead of presence_of_element_located() use visibility_of_element_located()
and following css selector to identify
div[id*='Title'] > span.OSFillParent
Or
div.dividers.full-width > span.OSFillParent
Code:
try:
Advantage = WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(
EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div[id*='Title'] > span.OSFillParent"))).text
except:
pass
print(Advantage )
Lets say I have some HTML code that looks like this and I use CSS selectors to make a list of elements
<div class="item-cell">
<div class="item-container">
<div class ="item-price">
<div class = "item-info">
<span class = "price"> </span>
<div class="item-cell">
<div class="item-container">
<div class ="item-price">
<div class = "item-info">
<span class = "price"> </span>
elements = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector('div.item-cell div.item-container')
now I have a list of elements that are at the item-container level. How would I go about finding the href value of each element in elements.
I was thinking I do something like
for element in elements:
element.get_attribute("href")
I know I could explicitly go to the href level with the code but I want to check if each container contains href and if it does I want the value in that container. If I go specifically to the href level it will just skip the containers that do not have href in them.
You could try this
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("file://{PATH_TO_YOUR_FILE}")
elements = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector('div.item-cell div.item-container')
for element in elements:
try:
link = element.find_element_by_tag_name('a')
print(link.get_attribute('href'))
except NoSuchElementException:
print('No Data Available!')
driver.close()
Besides, I'd suggest surrounding your divs with </div> and add https:// before your URLs.
<div class="item-cell">
<div class="item-container">
<div class="item-price">
</div>
<div class="item-info">
<span class="price"> </span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="item-cell">
<div class="item-container">
<div class="item-price">
</div>
<div class="item-info">
<span class="price"> </span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="item-cell">
<div class="item-container">
</div>
</div>
If you don't add https:// before your URLs, python will interpret it as a local URL if you run selenium in a local file.

I am trying the following code but it is giving following exception selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException
My Code
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
chromedriver = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\chromedriver'
browser = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver)
browser.get(url)
checkBox = browser.find_element_by_id("recaptcha-anchor")
checkBox.click()
This is a recaptha stuff .. it's not like normal elements in the page
you have to navigate with selenium to the captcha frame .. then you can deal with the checkbox element..
to do that you need first to save the main window handle to be get back to it when you're done with the recaptcha
# save the main window handle
mainwindow = browser.current_window_handle
# get the recapthca iframe then navigate to it
frame = browser.find_element_by_tag_name("iframe")
browser.switch_to.frame(frame)
# now you can access the checkbox element
browser.find_element_by_id("recaptcha-anchor").click()
# navigate back to main window
browser.switch_to.window(mainwindow)
