Selenium Webdriver Xpath id random-CodePudding

I have a problem, when I look for the id of an xpath it changes every time I enter the web

how can i use selenium webdriver python browser.find_element(By.ID,) if the id changes every time I consult it

first

<span data-dojo-attach-point="containerNode,focusNode" 
 role="tab" tabindex="0" 
id="icm_widget_SelectorTabContainer_0_tablist_dcf42e75-1d03-4acd-878c-722cbc8e74ec" 
name="icm_widget_SelectorTabContainer_0_tablist_dcf42e75-1d03-4acd-878c-722cbc8e74ec" 
aria-disabled="false" 
title="" 
style="user-select: none;" 
aria-selected="true">Search</span>

second

<span data-dojo-attach-point="containerNode,focusNode" 
 
role="tab" 
tabindex="0" 
id="icm_widget_SelectorTabContainer_0_tablist_c9ba5042-90d2-4932-8c2d-762a1dd39982"
name="icm_widget_SelectorTabContainer_0_tablist_c9ba5042-90d2-4932-8c2d-762a1dd39982" 
aria-disabled="false" 
title="" 
style="user-select: none;" 
aria-selected="true">Search</span>

try with


browser.find_element(By.XPATH
browser.find_element(By.ID
browser.find_element(By.NAME

same problem, the id changes

CodePudding user response：

In case the first part of the id is unique and stable as it seems to be, you can use XPath or CSS Selector to locate this element.
XPath:

browser.find_element(By.XPATH, "//span[contains(@id,'icm_widget_SelectorTabContainer_0_tablist')]")

CSS Selector:

browser.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "span[id*='icm_widget_SelectorTabContainer_0_tablist']")

CodePudding user response：

Try to use below xpath

browser.find_element(By.XPATH(contains(@id, 'icm_widget_SelectorTabContainer') and text()='Search');
