How to click check box with Python Selenium when ID changes each time the page loads?-CodePudding

I am trying to click a checkbox that is within a div. However, the ID changes each time the page loads so I can't use the ID, but I need to click the checkbox based on other data in the div. The check box I am trying to select is the last one in the example below and has this account code associated with it, 531377222.

I may be able to use XPATH, but I am not sure how to associate the account code I need with the appropriate check box.

Here is the html for the check boxes.

 <div  tabindex="0" style="display: none;">
                           <div  style="top:150px">
                                    <div ><input id="selector9588897" type="checkbox"><label for="selector9588897"></label></div>

Something along these lines should solve your issue (if I understood your question):

wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 20)

browser.get(url)
##[...] your code
account_id = '1234567'
corresponding_checkbox = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, f'div[text()= "{account_id}"]/preceding-sibling::div/input)))'

CodePudding user response：

Use following xpath to identify checkbox element based on associate code.

//div[text()='531377222']/preceding-sibling::div[1]//label

//div[text()='531377222']/preceding-sibling::div[1]//input

If you want to make this dynamic use python format() function and pass associate code as an argument.
