‘list’ object has no attribute ‘get_attribute’ while iterating through WebElements

by

Let us see what’s happening in your code :

Without any visibility to the concerned HTML it seems the following line returns two WebElements in to the List find_href which are inturn are appended to the all_trails List :

find_href = browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//div[@class="text truncate trail-name"]/a[1]')

Hence when we print the List all_trails both the WebElements are printed. Hence No Error.

As per the error snap shot you have provided, you are trying to invoke get_attribute("href") method over a List which is Not Supported. Hence you see the error :

'List' Object has no attribute 'get_attribute'

Solution :

To get the href attribute, we have to iterate over the List as follows :

find_href = browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//your_xpath')
for my_href in find_href:
    print(my_href.get_attribute("href"))
