execute Jquery in selenium Python?

Question

I have the problem of running this. I get back an error stating that I have a syntax issue. Ineed help with the Syntax.

driver.execute_script('$('select[name='condition'] option:eq(30)').prop('selected', true);') ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

driver.execute_script("$('select[name='condition'] option:eq(30)').prop('selected', true);")

@AhmadIshaq This sounds like an X-Y problem. Instead of asking for help with your solution to the problem, edit your question and ask about the actual problem. What are you trying to do? — undetected Selenium

You could build the javascript function that jquery calls and then call the jquery function but I have not yet figured it out and you might as well just use javascript. Here is the jquery link code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.1.js — Jortega

one of the syntax problems here is the unbalanced quotes... you're using single quotes inside of single quotes inside of double quotes.... so 'select[name=' is one quote for open, one quote for close, then condition' is a syntax issue... you can build a string to send to execute_script which makes things a bit more clear... then inside of your string assign js vars to use inside of name= bit... also note that jQuery must be loaded and ready before using "$" — browsermator

So if jquery is not on the page you need to add it first. I am just appending it to the page below. Then run your code.

driver.execute_script("""
var script = document.createElement( 'script' );
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.src = 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js';
document.head.appendChild(script);
""")


driver.execute_script("$('select[name='condition'] option:eq(30)').prop('selected', true);")

More jquery links can be found at: https://code.jquery.com/

Don't do that, do it like this. Otherwise you have timing issues.

@pguardiario what if you do not want to save the .js file locally?

In that case do like this

driver.execute_script("""
  $('select[name="condition"] option:eq(30)').prop('selected', true);
""")

You can also leave out the quotes in the attribute to be safer (since there are no spaces)

driver.execute_script("""
  $('select[name=condition] option:eq(30)').prop('selected', true);
""")

To the Einstein who downvoted this, I'm addressing the syntax error, which is the actual question, rather than injecting jQuery, which is not.
