Selenium Python find button with <button type="button" class="size-grid-dropdown size-grid-button" data-qa="size-dropdown">AB 12</button>

Question

i'm trying to find with selenium in python a button in a website and the button identify is: AB 12

I'm trying with this code but all can't find the button...

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[contains(@class, '.size-grid-dropdown .size-grid-button') and contains(.,'AB 12)]")

driver.find_element_by_xpath('//button[span[text()="AB 12"]')

driver.find_element_by_link_text("AB 12")

the problem is: i have a lot of button with same class but different AB 12 / AB 23 / AB 34...

How can i find a precisely button?

Thanks!

Could you please post the DOM screenshot. so that we can try to check for some other attributes too. — UnknownBeast

find all by class => you'll get a list of buttons => loop through => check if text is "AB 12" . there is no other unique identity for the button as per the DOM you've given — Sowjanya R Bhat

Does //button[text()="AB 12"] work? It's a modified version of the second one you tried, without the span. — Milan Cermak

Presuming the id of the button is AB 12, the code you want is:

driver.find_element_by_id('AB 12')

you can see this answer for a similar query: >How to use find_element_by_id() in python or read the docs for the same here: https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/api.html#locate-elements-by

In hindsight i see you want to find a button element with the text "AB 12" the correct code for that would be:

driver.find_element_by_xpath('//button[text()="AB 12"]')

You can check this similar query for more variations: How to find button with Selenium by its text inside (Python)?

Hi, I see you used the code inside the blockquote , that would be incorrect for your question , i kept it for context, try the code at the end of the answer, i.e driver.find_element_by_xpath('//button[text()="AB 12"]')
