I am new to selenium xpath and here's a code I tried. It doesn't enter the loop at all. I think the paths are right. Can someone help? Thanks in advance.
a = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[@class="one"]/ul/li')
for li in a:
xval = driver.find_element_by_xpath('.div/text()')`
<div class="one">
<ul>
<li><div id="1">Hi</div></li>
<li><div id="2"> Hello</div></li>
<li><div id="3">Bye</div></li>
</ul>
</div>You can search child element by querying parent element. Also check the length of the parent element, does it have anything?
a = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[@class="one"]/ul/li')
print len(a)
for li in a:
xval = li.find_element_by_xpath('div/text()')
In selenium find_element_by_xpath() method should return WebElement, but not text content.
Try to replace
xval = driver.find_element_by_xpath('.div/text()')
with
xval = driver.find_element_by_xpath('./div').text
Also note that you should use ./div instead of .div to match div that is direct child of current element
Update
If your loop make no iteration try to wait until required div appears in DOM as it might be generated dynamically:
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By. XPATH, "//div[@class="one" and ./ul/li])))
