I am on this page:
https://fantasy.premierleague.com/statistics
When you click on any "i" icon next to a player, a popup window appears. Then, i want to get the surname of the player. This is how "inspect element" looks like ("whitespace" actually appears within a box):
<h2 class="ElementDialog__ElementHeading-gmefnd-2 ijAScJ">
Kevin
whitespace
De Bruyne
What i want to do is to take the text that appears after the whitespace. I can get the full text (ie both name and surname) using this:
player_full_name = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@class="ElementDialog__ElementHeading-gmefnd-2 ijAScJ"]').text
but how can i get the surname only (ie what appears after the whitespace)? Note that for other players it could have been like this:
<h2 class="ElementDialog__ElementHeading-gmefnd-2 ijAScJ">
Gabriel Fernando
whitespace
de Jesus
or like this:
<h2 class="ElementDialog__ElementHeading-gmefnd-2 ijAScJ">
Dean
whitespace
Henderson
ie splitting the text and taking the last one or two elements will not work.
The surname of the player is the second or last text node within it's parent WebElement . So extract the surname eg De Bruyne from Kevin De Bruyne you can use either of the following Locator Strategies :
Using CSS_SELECTOR
, childNodes and strip()
:
driver.get("https://fantasy.premierleague.com/statistics") WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//table//tbody/tr/td/button"))).click() print( driver.execute_script('return arguments[0].lastChild.textContent;', WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "h2.ElementDialog__ElementHeading-gmefnd-2")))).strip())
Console Output:
De Bruyne
Using CSS_SELECTOR
, childNodes and splitlines()
:
driver.get("https://fantasy.premierleague.com/statistics") WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//table//tbody/tr/td/button"))).click() print( driver.execute_script('return arguments[0].lastChild.textContent;', WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "h2.ElementDialog__ElementHeading-gmefnd-2")))).splitlines())
Console Output:
['De Bruyne']
Note : You have to add the following imports:
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
