无法<a>使用 Selenium 定位元素</a>

Question

I'm a newbie with Selenium trying a project out and I'm trying to click on a link on a page but Selenium says it could not find the element. Here is the inspected element:

<a data-action="renditions--schedule-item-list#showAvailableItems" class="available-items-btn">
        <i class="icon-bullhorn"></i>
        Available Items
</a>

Here is what I've tried:

driver.find_element_by_xpath('//a[text()="Available Items"]').click()

and

driver.find_element_by_class_name("a.available-items-btn").click()

Any idea what's wrong?

Answer 1

Sometimes finding by exact text match doesn't always work. Try this:

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[contains(text(), 'Available Items')]")

Or, try your second attempt again but remove the a.

driver.find_element_by_class_name("available-items-btn").click()
