I have a html like:
<div class='mesage-in'> cool text here </div>
<div class='mesage-in'> bad text here </div>
and my python code like:
texto = navegador.find_element_by_class_name('message-in').text
print(texto)
Is it possible make this get all elements with same class name and put on a array or define as different variable like this?
OutPut:
print(texto1)
-> cool text here
print(texto2)
-> bad text here
#or
print(texto[0])
-> cool text here
print(texto[1])
-> bad text here
Actualy my code only get the first one

As per the HTML:
<div class='mesage-in'> cool text here </div>
<div class='mesage-in'> bad text here </div>
The following line line of code:
texto = navegador.find_element_by_class_name('message-in').text
will always identify the first matching element, extract the text and assign it to texto
. So when you try to print texto
, the text of the very first element i.e. cool text here is printed.
Solution
You can get all elements with same classname i.e. mesage-in
and put on a list as follows:
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
texto = navegador.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, 'message-in')
Now you can print the desired texts with respect to their index as follows:
To print cool text here:
print(texto[0].text) # prints-> cool text here
To print bad text here:
print(texto[1].text) # prints-> bad text here
Outro
You can also crate a list of the texts using List Comprehension and print them as follows:
texto = [my_elem.text for my_elem in driver.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, "message-in")]
print(texto[0]) # prints-> cool text here
print(texto[1]) # prints-> bad text here

You can achieve this by using BeautifulSoup library.
example output :
[' cool text here ', ' bad text here ']
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
def get_class_texts(html_text: str, class_name: str):
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_text, features="html.parser")
return [tag.text for tag in soup.select(f".{class_name}")]
print(get_class_texts("<div class='mesage-in'> cool text here </div> <div class ='mesage-in'> bad text here </div>", "mesage-in"))

To get multiple elements into one array you need to use find_elements. In your case I would use xpath like so:
eleArray = self.driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, '//div[@class='mesage-in']');
Then, you can loop over the array like so:
for element in eleArray:
print(element.text)
Here is a similar example where I get all latin encodeable span elements from wikipedia and log them to a console. Feel free to run it and see the results (this product is free to use by the way, so you can transfer the test case and make your own account via google login): https://mx1.maxtaf.com/cases/a320a3ad-9949-4bce-87fa-7a0980df8f1f?projectId=bugtestproject2

You can store them into a list. That list will be a list of web elements.
As I see, you are using navegador.find_element
which will return a single web element.
Whereas navegador.find_elements
will return a list of web elements.
Also, in latest Selenium find_element_by_class_name
have been deprecated therefore I would suggest you to use navegador.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, "")
Code:
texto = navegador.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, 'message-in')
print(texto[0])
print(texto[1])
or
for txt in texto:
print(txt.text)
