AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text' , I don't underst-CodePudding

I'm trying to read a file with python and get each line as a parameter for a function. I've got a AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text' error and I don't understand how to fix it.

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

from requests_html import HTMLSession

session = HTMLSession()

response = session.get('https://pool.rplant.xyz/#')

soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, 'html.parser')

nah = soup.find('span', {'id': 'statsPoolMc'}).text

print(nah)

CodePudding user response：

The element you are asking for is not there.

CodePudding user response：

The element is not there. It's probably because soup.find actually found nothing. So you have to edit what you are looking for.

CodePudding user response：

when you do find any elements makes sense to check their existing of them before calling attributes.

Like that:

# nah = soup.find('span', {'id': 'statsPoolMc'}).text
nah = soup.find('span', {'id': 'statsPoolMc'})
if nah:
   nah_text = nah.text
   # do next stuff here

But there is no such element on the page https://pool.rplant.xyz/#:

>>> soup.find_all('span')
[<span tkey="plantpool">Rplant pool</span>, <span id="statsUpdated"><span tkey="statsUpdated">Stats Updated</span>  <i class="fa fa-bolt"></i></span>, <span tkey="statsUpdated">Stats Updated</span>, <span class="noinvert" id="langFlag"><img alt="" data-src="static1/en.png" uk-img="" width="32px"/></span>, <span tkey="darkMode">Dark mode</span>, <span tkey="enableNotify">Enable notifications</span>]
