Unable to Locate element in web map application using selenium-CodePudding

I am tried to locate an element on web application but its not working. below the code source for the web page and python script.

  <div class="widget-body flex-fluid full-width flex-vertical overflow-y-auto overflow-x-hidden">
    <div class="feature-list">
        <div class="flex-horizontal feature-list-item">
<!---->
  <div class="flex-fluid list-item-content overflow-hidden">
    <div class="external-html">
      <p><span style="font-size:12px">Ascension</span></p>

    </div>
  </div>

<!----></div>
        <div class="flex-horizontal feature-list-item active">
<!---->
  <div class="flex-fluid list-item-content overflow-hidden">
    <div class="external-html">
      <p><span style="font-size:12px">Assumption</span></p>

    </div>
  </div>

<!----></div>
        <div class="flex-horizontal feature-list-item">
<!---->
  <div class="flex-fluid list-item-content overflow-hidden">
    <div class="external-html">
      <p><span style="font-size:12px">East Baton Rouge</span></p>

    </div>
  </div>

The python code I used give me an error AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'click':

from selenium import webdriver
Driver='C:/Python27/chromedriver.exe'
url='https://ds.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/c8f1c81fa9d041da8de7fe5ea9193c7f'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(Driver)
driver.get(url)
elem=driver.find_elements_by_xpath('.//span[contains(text(), "Assumption")]')                     
elem.click()

CodePudding user response：

This xpath

.//span[contains(text(), "Assumption")]

is wrong, try this instead :

//*[contains(text(), "Assumption")]

Also, it's recommended to use explicit-wait to click on a web element.

CodePudding user response：

You are using find_elements_by_xpath which returns a list so the mentioned error is occurring. You should use find_element_by_xpath and the click should work fine.
