如何通过 function 传递文件下载 selenium webdriver 命令

Question

I have written the code below to go to a particular website, select a list of values in a dropdown, and then download a file for each dropdown value using the webdriver.

There are about 15 different values that I need to pass through (ex: //option[@value='39) and download the file for each value passed through.

Is there a way to create a function of the below and then a loop to send each of the 15 values one by one through that function?

driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//option[@value='39']").click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "UpdateButton"))).click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "DownloadButton"))).click()

Thanks

You can use the built-in range() function.

For example, create a function to download the files:

def download(value):
    driver.find_element(By.XPATH, f"//option[@value='{value}']").click()

and then call the function 10 times using range :

for i in range(1, 11):
    download(i)
