Unable to read option names from drop down menu-CodePudding

I am trying read name of selected option from marked drop downs so that based on selected name I can make code take certain actions. Problem is it doesn't allow me to read it(I am using selenium for it). Code line I have written(Available below image) throws an exception, so not sure how to tackle it.

website link :

CODE LINE:

print(driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'//*[@id="select2-mcw_mtr-fl-container"]/div/div[1]'))

EXCEPTION:

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[@id="select2-mcw_mtr-fl-container"]/div/div[1]"}

CodePudding user response：

As far as I can see this website uses dynamic XPaths, but first part of the path seems to always stay the same.

So we can do a partial search. Try this:

print(driver.find_element(By.XPATH, """//*[contains(@id, "select2-mcw")]""").text)
