如何在 Selenium - Python 中通过它们的 innerText 定位元素

Question

I'm trying to locate and click on buttons by using their "innerText' (in my case: 'Sprint 1', 'Sprint 2', and 'Sprint 3')

Here is a part of my html:

<div class="show dropdown">
    <div class="dropdown-menu show">
        <a href="#" class="dropdown-item active" role="button">
            <div class="period-title">
                <span><span class="badge badge-success">active</span><span class="abc-name">Sprint 1</span></span>
            </div>
        </a>
        <a href="#" class="dropdown-item" role="button">
            <div class="period-title">
                <span><span class="badge badge-info">future</span><span class="abc-name">Sprint 2</span></span>
            </div>
        </a>
        <a href="#" class="dropdown-item" role="button">
            <div class="period-title">
                <span><span class="badge badge-info">future</span><span class="abc-name">Sprint 3</span></span>
            </div>
        </a>
    </div>
</div>

and this is one of my tries that fails: (error message: "... is not a valid XPath expression)

driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//span[contains(text(), 'Sprint 1'")

Answer 1

Its failed due to syntax error.

Try this:

//span[contains(.,'Sprint 1')]

OR

//span/text()[contains(.,'Sprint 1')]

Thanks.

Answer 2

To click on dynamic element you need to induce WebDriverWait () and wait for element_to_be_clickable () and following xpath.

WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"//span[text()='Sprint 1']"))).click()

You need to import below libraries.

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
