I'm trying to pull the text from a title off a specific webpage The tag I'm trying to target looks like this:
<h1 class="d2l-page-title d2l-heading vui-heading-1 bsi-set-solid">TEXT HERE</h1>
I can verify that my set XPATH is correct because all the other elements I asked it to print are correct. This is my output:
timer active
h1
<selenium.webdriver.chrome.webdriver.WebDriver (session="d9de1b525830fdf573c314afaa1001f1")>
{'y': 166.0, 'x': 21.0}
{'width': 419, 'height': 48}
DONE!
This is my script NOTE: you can find some of my failed experiments littered around in comments.
