How to find Span text Using Selenium Python?-CodePudding

Why span element text is not coming here attaching the main div content here I am trying to pinpoint My work here but I am getting No element found what's wrong here how can I store this Myvalue element so that i can give click command on it , pardon my English,also if any better alternatives approach available please suggest

main_div = driver.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, "sub-menu")
# print(main_div)
for i in main_div:
    for span in i.find_element(By.XPATH,'.//span[@class = "leaf_line_item"]'):
        print(span)

Html code below fetched from main_div

CodePudding user response：

You can try this using xpath

main_div = driver.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, "sub-menu")
# print(main_div)
for i in main_div:
    for span in i.find_element(By.XPATH,'.//span[@class = "leaf_line_item"]'):
        span.find_element(By.XPATH,'//li[@]//span[@]')

CodePudding user response：

the problem here is the xpath

(By.XPATH,'.//span[@class = "leaf_line_item"]')

delete the dot at the beginning of the path, it must start with a double backslash
