can i print out the element id by just using strong text here is the new html you asked for

CodePudding user response:

You want the parent element's ID of that <strong> element? Then try:

element = WebDriverWait(browser, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//strong[text()='10.10.2022']::a")))
element_id = element.get_attribute('id')

You will need to also import the following:

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

CodePudding user response:

To print the value of the id attribute as the elements are dynamic you need to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:

  • To print testForm:j_idt607:8:j_idt609:

    • Using XPATH and the text 19:00:

      print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//a[contains(., '19:00')]"))).get_attribute("id"))
      
    • Using XPATH and the text 10.10.2022:

      print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//a[.//strong[contains(., '10.10.2022')]]"))).get_attribute("id"))
      
    • Using XPATH and the text Place »:

      print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//a[.//strong[contains(., 'Place »')]]"))).get_attribute("id"))
      
  • To print testtestForm:j_idt607:10:j_idt609:

    • Using XPATH and the text 11:00:

      print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//a[contains(., '11:00')]"))).get_attribute("id"))
      
    • Using XPATH and the text 11.10.2022:

      print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//a[.//strong[contains(., '11.10.2022')]]"))).get_attribute("id"))
      
    • Using XPATH and the text Place2 »:

      print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//a[.//strong[contains(., 'Place »')]]"))).get_attribute("id"))
      
  • 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
