How to find an element with respect to the user input using Selenium and Python?

问题

The following is the HTML structure:

<div class='list'>
  <div>
    <p class='code'>12345</p>
    <p class='name'>abc</p>
  </div>
  <div>
    <p class='code'>23456</p>
    <p class='name'>bcd</p>
  </div>
</div>

And there is a config.py for user input. If the user input 23456 to config.code, how can the selenium python select the second object? I am using find_by_css_selector() to locate and select the object, but it can only select the first object, which is Code='12345'. I tried to use find_by_link_text(), but it is a <p> element not <a> element. Anyone can help.....

To locate the element with respect to the input by the user using Selenium and python you need to to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

• Using variable in XPATH:

  user_input = '23456'
  element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='list']//div/p[@class='code' and text()='" +user_input+ "']")))
  

• Using %s in XPATH:

  user_input = '23456'
  element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='list']//div/p[@class='code' and text()='%s']"% str(user_input))))
  

• Using format() in XPATH:

  user_input = '23456'
  element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='list']//div/p[@class='code' and text()='{}']".format(str(user_input)))))
  

• 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

Try the below xpath:

code = '23456'
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//p[@class='code' and text()='" +code +"']")
