How to capture and extract this toast message using python's Selenium?

Question

The toast pop out message just appears for two seconds. Its element is like

<div id class="layui-layer-content">abcde!</div>

How to capture the message and extract abcde!

Answer 1

Use Explicit Wait WebDriverWait() and wait for presence_of_element_located () and following css selector.

print(WebDriverWait(driver,5).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"div.layui-layer-content"))).text)

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

Answer 2

Try this:

div = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//div[@class = "layui-layer-content"]')
print(div.text)

Edit:

You can add this within a while loop to check whether the pop-up is present or not. If the pop-up is present you can display the text. Here is the code to do it:

while True:
    try:
        div = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//div[@class = "layui-layer-content"]')
        print(div.text)
        time.sleep(2)
    except:
        pass
