Why is my Selenium selector pulling a dict? (Django/Python 3.8)

Time:10-28

I've just updated selenium in my django app on PythonAnywhere. This is my code:

from selenium import webdriver

def Synonym():
    chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
    chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")
    chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")
    browser = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)
    browser.get("https://www.synonym.com/synonyms/test")
    test = browser.find_element_by_class_name("logo").text
    browser.quit()

    return test

But it gives me an error:

AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'text'

When I grab it without the .text this is what it gives me:

{'ELEMENT': '0.3567871003333163-1'} 

I'm using a paid account and should be able to access any site. Sidenote: is there a way to stop selenium from making /tmp/ files and folders?

Thanks!

The fix for me on PythonAnywhere was to update the system image: https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/ChangingSystemImage
