使用Python + Selenium验证输入框文本

Question

I have gone through other similar questions and the general advice was to use the get_attribute() method with input 'value' .

However, this doesn't seem to work in my case.

The tag I am trying to test is -:

<input class="form-control required" id="email" name="email" placeholder="Enter your E-mail / Username" required="" type="text" value="">

and the code I am using is as follows -:

def enter_keys_by_id(self, id, text):
    """
    Finds a form element by ID and then proceeds
    to enter text into the form.
    """
    find_element = self.driver.find_element_by_id(id)
    assert find_element.get_attribute('value') == ""
    find_element.send_keys(text)
    assert find_element.get_attribute('value') == text
    return find_element

with the function call -:

enter_keys_by_id("email", "someemail@email.com")

The 'value' attribute is set to blank in the tag. How would I go about it in this particular case?

Answer 1

So, you type email to the "empty" input, but I think that you need to submit the form, ie save the value to the input before retrieveing it. I guess you are trying to verify that the email was saved correctly, so you can:

1. Type email
2. Submit the form (you didn't provide html, but I guess there is some submit button near to the email field)
3. And after that try to assert find_element.get_attribute('value') == text (or to wait for the input with value='your text')
