How do you use EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, “myDynamicElement”)) except to specify class not ID

Question

I am trying to use Python to web scrape a website that loads it\'s HTML dynamically by using embedded javascript files that render the data as a Response into the HTML. Ther

Answer 1

It's in the docs.

Set of supported locator strategies.
CLASS_NAME = 'class name'
CSS_SELECTOR = 'css selector'
ID = 'id'
LINK_TEXT = 'link text'
NAME = 'name'
PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT = 'partial link text'
TAG_NAME = 'tag name'
XPATH = 'xpath'

Note: What you have in your code is not a class, it's two classes. That won't work if you use By.CLASS_NAME() because it expects only a single class. What you want instead is a CSS selector

EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".ng-binding.ng-scope")))

In CSS selector syntax, a . indicates a class. See the W3C docs for more info on the CSS selector syntax.
