Error using Selenium (Python), not able to find class in HTML source code

Time:12-28

I'm starting to learn how to use Selenium. I was doing some testing but got this error: selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: Unable to locate element: .layout layout-base

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from webdriver_manager.firefox import GeckoDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=GeckoDriverManager().install())
driver.get("https://page.onstove.com/epicseven/global/list/e7en003? 
listType=2&direction=latest&page=1")
driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME,"layout layout-base")

Here is a pic of the source code im trying to find using find_element. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

CodePudding user response:

You can't pass multiple classnames as argument through find_element(By.CLASS_NAME,"classname") and doing so you will face an error as:

invalid selector: Compound class names not permitted

CodePudding user response:

layout layout-base are two class name values separated by a space.
To locate this element you can use any of the following ways:

driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME,"layout.layout-base")

Or

driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR,"div.layout.layout-base")

Or

driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"//div[@class='layout layout-base']")
