Python Selenium Click on object inside specific row

Question

I have site and the HTML looks like this:

<tr role="row" class="odd">
    <td class="sorting_1">555</td>
    <td>
        <a href="/fruit_list/555">FruitType1 : Fruit1</a>
    </td>
    <td>Fruit1</td>
    <td>FruitType1</td>
    <td>Somwhere</td>
    <td></td>
    <td>0</td>
    <td>
        <button class="copy_button btn_gray_inverse" id="555">Copy</button>
    </td>
    <td>
        <button class="fruit check_btn" id="555" href="" value="0">
            <i class="bt_check"></i>
        </button>
    </td>
    <td>
        <a class="fruit remove_btn" id="555" href="#">
            <i class="bt_remove">
            ::before
            </i>
        </a>
    </td>
</tr>

Im trying to click on button (<button class="fruit check_btn" id="555" href="" value="0">) inside this specific row. Rows can be different only in text under tr (Fruit1, Fruit2), with this code and its not working:

FruitList = self.driver.find_elements_by_xpath\
    ('//tr[@role="row" and contains (., "Fruit1")]')
for Fruit in FruitList:
    Enabled = Fruit.find_element_by_xpath('//i[@class="bt_check"]')
    Enabled.click()

It allways clicks on button from first awailable row on the page, not the one that is containing text "Fruit1".

Please help

To find the check button for Fruit1, I suggest you to do it in two steps.

First find the row for Fruit1:

fruit_row = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//td[text()='Fruit1']/..")

Note that I use /.. at the end of the Xpath in order to select the tr element that contains the td with text 'Fruit1' instead of the td himself.

Second step, find the button and click on it:

fruit_row.find_element_by_class_name("check_btn").click()

To click on <td> with text as Fruit1, you can use the following line of code :

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//td/a[contains(@href,'/fruit_list/555')]//following::td[text()='Fruit1']")

You can be more generic with :

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//td/a[contains(@href,'/fruit_list/555')]//following::td[1]")
