Print everything in div tag selenium python3

Question

I am trying to scrape a website which has some info under its div tag like this

<div> id="searchResults" class="multiple-view-elements"
<span>name</name>
<span>info</name>
<span>info</name>

<span>name</name>
......

My code

print ('-------------------------------------------------------------')
resp=driver.find_elements_by_id('searchResults').text
print (resp)
driver.quit()

it gives me this error

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'text'

What I'm doing wrong?

Because you are using find_elements. which returns list of element and 'list' object don't have attribute/method 'text'

Use find_element e.g. resp=driver.find_element_by_id('searchResults').text to get the single element

You try to get the text attribute from the div elements, but there is no text contains for the element.

for example

<h3 class="LC20lb">Hi | Definition of Hi by Merriam-Webster</h3>

here the header h3 contains Hi | Definition of Hi by Merriam-Webster

so if you perform get text Method here you will get "Hi | Definition of Hi by Merriam-Webster",but your web element div has not text for contains attribute so get text is failed there.

so just clear your question what you wants to pint.

If any web element have text attribute or any contains text is there then you can try

String value= driver.findElement(By.id("")).getText();
