Get Xpath string of an element that I got by ID or name etc.. Python Selenium-CodePudding

I have this element and I want to access its Xpath by code, not find element by Xpath like find_element(By.XPATH,'myXpath') and not get xpath it manually on the browser

today = driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME,'today')
day = today.get_attribute("data-day")
xpathString = today.get_xpath() # <--- this function doesn't exist

we can get the attribute of an element by get_attribute() function, but I couldn't find the function that returns the Xpath of the element.

please is it possible? thanks in advance!

CodePudding user response：

This return the full xpath of the element el whose class name is today, i.e. /html/.../el

xpathString = driver.execute_script("""
var el = arguments[0];
aPath ="";
while (el.tagName!='HTML'){
    parentEle=el.parentNode;
    if(parentEle.querySelectorAll(el.tagName).length>1){
        childIndex = 0;
        parentEle.querySelectorAll(el.tagName).forEach(function(cEle){
           childIndex= childIndex 1;
           if(cEle === el){
             aPath = el.tagName   "["   childIndex   "]"   "/"  aPath;
           }
        })

    }else{
         aPath = el.tagName   "/"  aPath;
    }
    el=el.parentNode;
}
return "/html/" aPath.substring(0,aPath.length-1).toLowerCase();
""", today)
