So i have a log-in script and i just try find element by class on newest version of selenium (4.8.0)

code:

button = browser.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, 'just class name')

AND this code not working.

my stuff:

• firefox driver - 0.32.1 (2023-02-02, b7f075124503)
• selenium 4.8.0

this is how the documentation searches for elements - By.CLASS_NAME, By.ID, etc...

https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/elements/finders/

tried other variations of the code like find_element_by_ID and etc, installed an additional library for the selenium (I do not remember the name).

CodePudding user response：

CSS classes and IDs never start with spaces, and they also never have spaces. Check if this clases exist in DOM by typing in brosware console:

document.querySelectorAll('.class_name')

change class_name with class name you looking for. If object have multiple classes they are separated by space.

CodePudding user response：

By.CLASS_NAME accepts only single classname as an argument. So you can't pass multiple classnames.

Solution

You can use either of the following locator strategies:

• Using the classname just:

  button = browser.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, 'just')
  

• Using the classname class:

  button = browser.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, 'class')
  

• Using the classname name:

  button = browser.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, 'name')
  

As an alternative, you can also use a css_selector as follows:

button = browser.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".just.class.name")
