How to retrieve partial text from a text node using Selenium and Python

by

To print text … you have to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

  • Using CSS_SELECTOR, childNodes and strip():

    print(driver.execute_script('return arguments[0].firstChild.textContent;', WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a.call_recipe[href^='/recipes']")))).strip())

  • Using XPATH, get_attribute() and splitlines():

    print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//a[@class="call_recipe" and starts-with(@href, '/recipes')]"))).get_attribute("innerHTML").splitlines()[1])

  • Note : You have to add the following imports :

    from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
