I have html structure:

<div class="parent" data-index="0"><div class="sub">...</div></div>
<div class="parent" data-index="1"><div class="sub">...</div></div>

When I click on some parent element and all sub elements changes classes like so:

   <div class="parent selected" data-index="0"><div class="sub selected">...</div></div>
   <div class="parent" data-index="1"><div class="sub">...</div></div>

I want to loop over all parents and their sub elements with selenium no matter whether element is clicked or not Right now I am doing this like so:

for i in range(n):
    parent= driver.find_element_by_xpath(f"//div[@class='parent' and @data-index='{i}']")
    for elem in parent.find_elements_by_xpath("./div"):
       do_something(elem)

However this doesn't catch parent elements which are clicked.

I also tried to change the xpath to "//div[starts-with(@class,'parent') and @data-index='{i}']" which catch also clicked parent elements. But then parent.find_elements_by_xpath("./div") returns empty list

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I am looking forward for any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

You can try this way

parent.find_element_by_xpath(".//div")

You can try find_by_class_name like:

for parent in driver.find_elements_by_class_name("parent"):
    for sub in parent.find_elements_by_class_name("sub"):
        do_something(sub)

Since both class="parent selected" and class="parent" are assigned to class parent that single query would select all parents (including selected ones)

Try like this once:

parents = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[contains(@class,'parent')]") # this xpath should highlight all the "div" tags which has "parent" in its class.
for parent in parents:
    elements = parent.find_elements_by_xpath("./div") # this should give all the child "div" tags. If they are nested use ".//div"
