I've written an xpath to get to a certain element but unfortunately it is not being able to.
I can't understand where i'm getting deviated. Hope somebody will provide me with a little help.
I'm trying to locate the address from the below elements.
Here are the elements:
<div class="detail-contact-address">
<i class="fa fa-map-o"></i>
Address:36 Sukhumvit, Soi 15, Wattana, Klongtoey-nua, Bangkok 10110, Thailand
</div>
I was trying with:
//div[#class='detail-contact-address']/*[contains(#class,'fa-map-o')]/../text()
User below xpath to get the text :
//div[#class='detail-contact-address']
OR based on some string match
//div[#class='detail-contact-address'][contains(.,'Address')]
So you will get the text like
print driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#class='detail-contact-address']").text

I'm trying to find one element using Selenium in Python using the following code:
element_A = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '/html/body/div[5]/div[1]/div[2]/div[3]/div/div/div/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div[3]/div[1]/i')
in this HTML code:
<div class="display-flex>
<span class=" cc-customer-info__value"="">212121 <i title="copiar" class="fa fa-clone _clipboard_" data-clipboard="212121 "></i> <br>
</div>
I want the number 212121, but I'm getting no such element error. The problem is this number can be different every time that I open the website. It's the number of the customer.
Is it possible to help me to locate this element?
I'm also trying to find two more elements:
Customer profile, it's also change
<text class="legend-graph font-menu" x="416" y="38">Customer Profile: A</text>
and Diamond, that also can vary
<span class="cc-customer-info__value ">Diamond</span>
Thank you!
For the first one, the span element has the text as number, not the tag.
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '/html/body/div[5]/div[1]/div[2]/div[3]/div/div/div/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div[3]/div[1]/span)
try this it may work, or try to shorten the xpath you are creating. this is absolute xpath.
try and use selenium ide to record the scenario and check what locator is being captured for the element.
you could also try devtools/ and other xpath locating tools which are available as chrome extentions.
I am trying to automate a process using selenium and a webdriver.
The html looks like this:
<span class="contract-item">
<span class="contract-label">
<span class="contract-name">Jimmy</span>
</span>
<div class="current-stats">
<span class="info"></span>
The issue I am facing is that there are many 'contract-item' and 'info' classes. I only want to find info for specific 'contract name's. However by finding the 'contract name' I have lost the info. How do I get the 'info' for a specific name?
I have this so far.
team_name = self.driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[contains(text(), {})]".format(jimmy))[1]
Many thanks!
Below is required xpath:
//*[#class='contract-item' and
contains(.,'Jimmy')]/div/span[#class='info']
You just need to change the contact name String (i.e. Jimmy) with desired one and you will get corresponding info.
You need to first get the element that contains the name, you did that correctly
//*[contains(text(), "{}")]
Then you need to go the nearest common parent between the info element and the element you found, each /.. will go one element up the HTML tree.
//*[contains(text(), "{}")]/../..
Finally, find the correct element filtering by class
//*[contains(text(), "{}")]/../..//span[#class="info"]//text()
So, you expression should be :
team_name = self.driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[contains(text(), "{}")]/../..//span[#class="info"]//text()'.format('jimmy'))[1]
I'm trying to rewrite someones library to parse some xml returned with requests. However they use lxml in a way I'm not used to. I believe it's using regular expression to find the data and while most of the library provided works, it doesn't work when the site being parsed has the file id in a list structure. Essnetially I get a page back and I'm looking for an id that matches the href athlete number. So say I want to just get id's for athlete 567377.
</div>
</a></div>
<ul class='list-entries'>
<li class='entity-details feed-entry' id='Activity-123120999590'>
<div class='avatar avatar-athlete avatar-default'>
<a class='avatar-content' href='/athletes/567377' >
</a>
</div>
</li>
<li class='entity-details feed-entry' id='Activity-16784940202'>
<div class='avatar avatar-athlete avatar-default'>
<a class='avatar-content' href='/athletes/5252525'>
</a>
</div>
The code:
lst_group_activity = parser.xpath(".//li[substring(#id, 1, 8)='Activity']")
Provides all list items perfectly but for all activities. I want to only have the one related to the right athlete. The library uses the following to use an #href to select the right athlete.
lst_athlethe_act_in_group_activity = parser.xpath(".//li[substring(#id, 1, 8)='Activity']/*[#href='/athletes/"+athlethe_id+"']/..")
However, this never seems to work. It finds the activity but then throws them all away.
Is there a better way to get this working? Any tutorial that can point me in the right direction to correlate to the next element.
The element with the href attribute isn't an immedite child of your li element, so your xpath is failing. You're matching:
.//li/*[#href="..."]
You want:
.//li/div/a[#href="..."]
(You could match * instead of a if you think another element might contain the href attribute, and you can match against .//li//a[#href="..."] if you think the path to the a element might not always be li/div/a).
So to find the li element:
parser.xpath(".//li[substring(#id, 1, 8)='Activity']/div/a[#href='/athletes/%s']/../.." % '5252525')
But you can also write that without the ../..:
parser.xpath(".//li[substring(#id, 1, 8)='Activity' and div/a/#href='/athletes/%s']" % '5252525')
<div id="tabs" class="clearfix">
<ul id="remove">
<li class="btn_arrow_tab left inactive">
<a href="#" class="doubleText">Pay Monthly <small>View standard rates and Bolt Ons</small>
</a>
</li>
<li class="btn_arrow_tab right inactive">
<a href="#" class="doubleText">Pay & Go<small>View standard rates and Bolt Ons</small>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
I have no experience in webscraping and trying to follow example and the docs to click on the button with text 'Pay Monthly'. This button then dynamically displays some text which I need to copy. How do I go about clicking this for starters, and then reading the text which is displayed. I am trying it with Selenium, would beautifulsoup be better? I have been trying this line of code but it isn't doing anything:
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[text()[contains(.,'Pay Monthly')]]").click()
It is always good practice to use mixture of absolute and relative xpath to locate a element.
First thing you should find is a parent that has a unique identifier. The element you mentioned has two parent items with a static id. One is root div and another is ul.
Now either we can follow your path and find the element using Text. Any of the following shall work.
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#id='tabs']//a[text()[contains(.,'Pay Monthly')]]").click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//ul[#id='remove']//a[text()[contains(.,'Pay Monthly')]]").click()
But, if the item is static element and considering your goal here, I would suggest the following method. indexing your xpath when it returns multiple elements.
myElement = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#id='tabs']//a[#href='#'][1]")
myElement.click()
And then you can capture the text. You can put some wait to ensure the text gets changed.
myText = myElement.text
Let me know if this doesn't work.
I am using Python & Selenium to scrap the content of a certain webpage. Currently, I have the following problem: There are multiple div-classes with the same name, but each div-class has different content. I only need the information for one particular div-class. In the following example, I would need the information in the first "show_result"-class since there is the "Important-Element" within the link text:
<div class="show_result">
<a href="?submitaction=showMoreid=77" title="Go-here">
<span class="new">Important-Element</span></a>
Other text, links, etc within the class...
</div>
<div class="show_result">
<a href="?submitaction=showMoreid=78" title="Go-here">
<span class="new">Not-Important-Element</span></a>
Other text, links, etc within the class...
</div>
<div class="show_result">
<a href="?submitaction=showMoreid=79" title="Go-here">
<span class="new">Not-Important-Element</span></a>
Other text, links, etc within the class...
</div>
With the following code I can get the "Important-Element" and its link:
driver.find_element_by_partial_link_text('Important-Element'). However, I also need the other information within the same div-class "show-result". How can I refer to the entire div-class that contains the Important-Element in the link text? driver.find_elements_by_class_name('show_result') does not work since I do not know in which of the div-classes the Important-Element is located.
Thanks,
Finn
Edit / Update: Ups, I found the solution on my own using xpath:
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[contains(#class, 'show_result') and contains(., 'Important-Element')]")
I know you've found an answer but I believe it's wrong since you would also select the other nodes because Important-Element is still in Non-Important-Element.
Maybe it works for your specific case since that's not really the text you're after. But here are a few more answers:
//div[#class='show_result' and starts-with(.,'Important-Element')]
//div[span[text()='Important-Element']]
//div[contains(span/text(),'Important-Element') and not(contains(span/text(),'Non'))]
There are more ways to write this...
