How to find element in selenium python using class in div with different selection

Question

I have tried

driver.find_element_by_xpath( "//div[@class='pepDayScroller_dayNum']").click()

for below elements but it did not work. Please help.

Try to located second element with a number of 2

<div class="pepDayScroller_dayNum">1</div>
<div class="pepDayScroller_dayNum">2</div>
<div class="pepDayScroller_dayNum">3</div>

here is addition information

<div class="pepDayScroller_dayWrapper">
  <a href="#" class="pepDayScroller_day pepDayScroller_day--selected" data-index="0">
    <div class="accessibleText accessibleSelectedMark" aria-hidden="false">Selected</div>
    <div class="pepDayScroller_dayNum">1</div>
    <div class="pepDayScroller_startingFrom"><div 
      class="pepDayScroller_startingFromLabel">Prices vary by date.</div>
    </div>
   </a>
  </div>

<div class="pepDayScroller_dayWrapper"><a href="#" class="pepDayScroller_day pepDayScroller_day--selected" data-index="0"><div class="accessibleText accessibleSelectedMark" aria-hidden="false">Selected</div><div class="pepDayScroller_dayNum">1</div><div class="pepDayScroller_startingFrom"><div class="pepDayScroller_startingFromLabel">Prices vary by date.</div></div></a></div>

once I am able to click on this button, it will scroll down and ask me to select either it is peak or value. codes are below

<a href="#" class="pepTieredCalendar_dateBox tappable pepTieredCalendar_dateBox--32 pepTieredCalendar_dateBox--value" tabindex="0" role="button" data-tier="value" data-date="2018-09-27" aria-label="2018-09-27, 87.30 USD">
                    <span class="pepTieredCalendar_dateBoxText">27</span>
                </a>

how do I find these elements.thanks

The class which you're trying to refer matches many elements at once. You could try to find by matching text like:

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[contains(text(), '2')]")

or by matching all elements and selecting the one that you need:

all_elements = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("pepDayScroller_dayNum")
two_element = None

for el in all_elements:
    if el.text == "2":
        two_element = el
        break

Let me know if that helps.

It seems work. however, it turns out more problem. it is unable to use .click(). error pop up like this: AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'click'; sorry, i should have post the full code. i will re-post it.

You should post the code you have developed so far, not only the html you're trying to interact with.

the code i have so far is just use to open the websites. that actually is the first step

I edited the first suggestion I've given in my answer to you as it should have been find_element_by_xpath and not find_elements_by_xpath . That's probably the reason why you are getting the error if you're really using it.

the error pop up is because i added .click(). i need to click on it and then it will scroll down and give me another option to select. driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[contains(text(), '1')]").click()
