Selenium - How to identify li item based on value-CodePudding

I have the following list in a webpage that I am trying to scrape:

<div  style="height: 54px; width: 100%;">
<ul >
<li >Jules Salles-Wagner (FRENCH, 1814–1898)</li>
<li >Peter Nadin (BRITISH, 1954)</li>
<li >Uri Aran (ISRAELI, 1977)</li>
</ul>
</div>

I want to select the item that contains the text Uri Aran. How can I do that through Selenium? There are other lists with different class name in the same website as well.

CodePudding user response：

driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"//li[@class='rcbItem' and contains(text(),'Uri Aran')]").click()

You'd want to get the one that contains the text of Uri Aran.

CodePudding user response：

To locate the element with text Uri Aran you need to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:

Using CSS_SELECTOR and nth-child():

element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.rcbScroll.rcbWidth > ul.rcbList li:nth-child(3)")))

Using CSS_SELECTOR and nth-of-type():

element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.rcbScroll.rcbWidth > ul.rcbList li:nth-of-type(3)")))

Using CSS_SELECTOR and last-child:

element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.rcbScroll.rcbWidth > ul.rcbList li:last-child")))

Using CSS_SELECTOR and last-of-type:

element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.rcbScroll.rcbWidth > ul.rcbList li:last-of-type")))

Using XPATH and index:

element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='rcbScroll rcbWidth']/ul[@class='rcbList']//following::li[3]")))

Using XPATH and last():

element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='rcbScroll rcbWidth']/ul[@class='rcbList']//li[last()]")))

Using XPATH and innerText:

element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//li[starts-with(., 'Uri Aran')]")))

Note : You have to add the following imports :

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
