使用python的selenium web驱动程序选择复选框

Question

I am trying to perform a test on Amazon.com categories checkboxes using selenium web driver with python code, and I tried several ways but I am not sure how to select the checkbox of the Book category for example without having its id or name. I used some plugins to get the right xpath like XPath Helper for chrome and path checker on Firefox...

Here is my code and my tries are commented.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from time import sleep
import unittest

class Test_PythonOrg(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):
        self.browser = webdriver.Firefox()

    def tearDown(self):
        sleep(4)
        self.browser.close()
        self.browser = None


    def test_07_ListOfTodayDeals(self):
        self.browser.get("http://www.amazon.com")
        deals = self.browser.find_element_by_link_text("Today's Deals")
        deals.click()
        books = self.browser.find_element_by_id("widgetFilters")
        books.find_element_by_xpath("/x:div[1]/x:div/x:span[8]/x:div/x:label/x:span").click()

        #for i in range(20):
            #try:
                #self.browser.find_element_by_xpath(".//*[contains(text(), 'Books')]").click()
                #break
            #except NoSuchElementException as e:
                #print('retry')
                #time.sleep(1)
        #else:
            #print('Test Failed')

        browser.close()
        #sign_in_button = self.browser.find_element(By_XPATH,'(//input[@name=''])[8]')
        #sign_in_button.find_element_by_xpath("//select[@name='element_name']/option[text()='option_text']").click()
        #sleep(5)
        #self.assertTrue("No results found." not in self.browser.page_source)

<span class="a-declarative" data-action="gbfilter-checkbox" data-gbfilter-checkbox="{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;whitelist_categories&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:&quot;283155&quot;,&quot;rangeEnd&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;rangeStart&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;filterType&quot;:&quot;checkboxes&quot;}">

                <div class="a-checkbox checkbox checked a-spacing-micro"><label><input name="" value="" checked="" type="checkbox"><i class="a-icon a-icon-checkbox"></i><span class="a-label a-checkbox-label">


                        Books
                </span></label></div>

        </span>

Answer 1

I have solved my problem with a very simple line of code using the right xpath:

self.browser.find_element_by_xpath("(//input[@name=''])[8]").click()

and it perfectly worked!

Answer 2

I have modified your code and now it's working

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from time import sleep
import unittest

class Test_PythonOrg(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):
        self.browser = webdriver.Firefox()

    def tearDown(self):
        sleep(4)
        self.browser.close()
        self.browser = None


    def test_07_ListOfTodayDeals(self):
        self.browser.get("http://www.amazon.com")
        deals = self.browser.find_element_by_link_text("Today's Deals")
        deals.click()
        sleep(5)
        self.browser.find_element_by_xpath("//span[@class='a-label a-checkbox-label' and contains(text(),'Books')]/preceding-sibling::input[1]").click()
        self.browser.close()
