So I'm scrapping TripAdvisor's reviews page for individual hotels, trying to get the number of stars for said hotel.
The HTML for the div where this info is included is this (I don't copy the HTML for the whole page because it's really long and I don't think it's necessary):

I'm getting the stars rating from the aria-label attribute of the svg element, so what I do is look for the svg element and then get the value for the aria-label attribute.
My questions is that if I look for the element using the find_elements_by_class_name method it works and I get the result I'm looking for:
stars_info = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("TkRkB.d.H0")
However, if I try to find the same element using the find_element_by_xpath method, I get a NoSuchElementException:
stars_info = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//svg[@]')
Why does this happen? Before anyone says anything, I have tried the xpath expression with different formats ("TkRkB d H0" instead of "TkRkB.d.H0", switching the order of single quotes and double quotes", etc.)
Thank you
CodePudding user response：
To select each class value in css selector, you have to use .(dot) notation before every class value but not in xpath. The correct xpath selection is as follows:
stars_info = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//svg[@]')
CodePudding user response：
By.CLASS_NAME accepts a single classname. So sending multiple classnames through By.CLASS_NAME may not be a part of the best practices.
To print the value of the aria-label attribute you can use either of the following locator strategies:
Using css_selector:
print(driver.find_element_by_css_selector("svg.TkRkB.d.H0").get_attribute("aria-label"))Using xpath:
print(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[name()='svg' and @class='TkRkB d H0']").get_attribute("aria-label"))
