I have this code

followers_button = browser.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[1]/section/main/div/header/section/ul/li[2]/a/span')

I need to get value of title from span. How can i do that?

CodePudding user response：

In case /html/body/div[1]/section/main/div/header/section/ul/li[2]/a/span is a corrct XPath locator

followers_button_text = browser.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[1]/section/main/div/header/section/ul/li[2]/a/span').text
print(followers_button_text)

Should work

CodePudding user response：

To print the desired text you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

• Using css_selector and get_attribute("innerHTML"):

  print(driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a[class*='na13'][href='/top_ukraine_girls/followers/']>span").get_attribute("innerHTML"))
  

• Using xpath and text attribute:

  print(driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//a[@class='-na13' and @href='/top_ukraine_girls/followers/']/span").text)
  

Ideally 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 text attribute:

  print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a[class*='na13'][href='/top_ukraine_girls/followers/']>span"))).text)
  

• Using XPATH and get_attribute("innerHTML"):

  print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//a[@class='-na13' and @href='/top_ukraine_girls/followers/']/span"))).get_attribute("innerHTML"))
  

• 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
  

You can find a relevant discussion in How to retrieve the text of a WebElement using Selenium - Python

print(followers_button.get_attribute('title'))

I am assuming you want to get the title attribute value using get_attribute and not the text.
